WTB: 6 7/8 or size 7 grey/gray felt OR style hat 2 1/2, 2 3/4 brim

[JessieJames]

Looking to buy a nice mid or dark grey, OR style quality vintage clean hat.

Size: 6 7/8 or size 7
Colour: grey/gray felt
Style: OR
Brim: 2 1/2, 2 3/4 length

Can be super soft malleable fur felt, or one that requires steam to keep its shape. i'm very inclined to the Stets and ORs though but I'm open, mainly looking for that colour

That looks brown in the 1st photo and smoke purple ish in the second, it's hard to tell the colour. Is it up for sale?

It’s a med dark gray. Pretty unusual for an OR.
1st pic: some other grays. No flash.
2nd pic: with flash.
Top: your Borsa, left middle: OR, right middle: Playboy, bottom: Resistol.
If you like it, it could be yours.

As in that one is the one that "could be mine", the medium grey?

Do you know what X designation it is and what era it's from, the condition, etc? Tell more more SVP

That's actually one I've been considering!! Do other people just watch for fun even though they can't wear it?

I wrote a few questions to the seller since yesterday night/this morning but have had no responses. It looks really nice however the colour says CLEAR, so I'm thinking the images are completely off and when I did a quick colour correct with the white wall plug adapter, well, see below.

The original photo isn't exactly taken with a great camera/cell so it's hard to tell what it's supposed to be but the difference is drastic below. If it looks like the one on the left, the grey in person, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Pretty sure that RD OR he posted is 1/8.

 

[Rmccamey]

I can't quite read it, my eyes want to see it as 7/8.

The RD OR is a 67/8 and is spoken for. Sorry! But it is a hell of a nice hat.
I am a 1/8-1/4 so i’ll keep you in mind when the time comes.

Hell, Randy, you're right. I viewed it on my pad at first and came to the desktop and it's a clear 7/8.

Thank you sir.
