Vintage Stratoliner - Etsy

[Roan]

Here's a vintage Stratoliner I just came across; it's quite small but very cheap as well.

I might take a chance on resizing a wider brimmed 6 7/8 Strat up a size or two, but I think a 6 3/4 is just too small to resize to an average adult head size (+- 7 1/8) and still have any brim left. It just wouldn't look like a Stratoliner anymore. It's probably only good for display, children, or small women.

Quite true, I only posted in the unlikely case anyone might have a use for it. Who knows, perhaps one of the members here has a child that would like it!

 

[John Galt]

Yeah, I thought about it ;-)

I guess maybe it'd make a nice stingy brim light weight hat, huh?

No better way to start a love of hats! I gave my 6 year old a rebuild Champ Spaceweight

I came across this one also on Etsy. Unfortunately only a size 7. Amazing to still come across 50's hats in unworn condition.

If you look closely at the pictures, it's clear that this is not in unworn condition.

Just a newby here but I can see what you mean. Especially in the third shot. The sellers description seems to be not quite accurate. Thanks for pointing it out!
