Ultra-light weight with thin, but shape-holding felt and an equally thin button-off Carter type sweatband. Small and tidy Improved Cavanagh Edge on a 2-1/4" brim and about 6" open crown. Sorry no head shot as its a skimpy 7 rather than the listed 7-1/4-7-3/8. No body paperwork remains.

Exquisite.

Hey everyone I have a hat age question. I just picked up a Dobbs Fifteen today with a Guild Edge and 2 3/4" brim. It looks 40's to me but I don't know. It has a cloverleaf for the back bow as well.





Thanks in advance for any info you might have!

Rogera, wow, nice vintage find. I have no answers... but I have two ties (at least) that would work well with that lid.
Thanks Monte! I didn't have one that color and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It almost matches Art's sahara color.

Without seeing the tags, it's 1955-1965, most likely.

Interesting. It looks like a heather gray that I have made by Crofut and Knapp. Same company eventually anyway. :p That is a heather brown color from the photos, right?

Yes, a heather Brown nearing Olive. The narrower felt ribbon was used by Borsalino as well. Your slightly wider band I've seen on other HCA brands too(Knox, Dobbs) as well as Mallory.
