Joshbru3 said:The listing wasnt too bad I thought.
The title read: VINTAGE J.H. SHOOP & SONS FELT HAT "CHAMP"
The description read: THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VINTAGE J.H.SHOOP& SONS FELT HAT . ON THE SWEATBAND IT HAS J.H. SHOOP & SONS
FREEPORT PA , ALSO CHAMP FEEL THE FELT AND
KASMIR FINISH . ON THE HATBAND THERE IS A STRING
WITH A BUTTON , I DON T KNOW WHAT THIS IS FOR ,
BUT THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED BEFORE
WEARING . THE SIZE IS A SIZE 7THIS HAT HAS THAT
" BRAND NEW " APPERANCE
I M NOT SURE OF IT S TRUE AGE BUT MY GUESS WOULD
BE THE LATE 40 S OR EARLY 50 S.
I really am unsure why no one bid on it. Its a size 7, but I know that there are many people on the lounge with a size 7 skull.

The mail man brought this MINT (New Old Stock) Champ to my door yesterday. I bought the hat because it had a really cool ribbon pattern, and I knew it was nice, but not this nice. It looks like it came right from the Champ factory. If it was worn, it was worn once. No nibbles, no staining, no odor, no marks, nothing. The sweatband is smooth as silk and very pliable. This hat is my most prestine one to date and the felt really is the softest thing ive ever felt. It almost feels like suede. Heres some pics. (Pics of me wearing it in other threads)
