Vintage 1930s Dobbs Gray Fedora Hat Size 7 1/4. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This is a true 1930s vintage fedora. The felt could use a bit of cleaning and there is some moth damage. Please look over the photos carefully. All of the moth damage that I can see is light and there are no through holes. The brim is approximately 2 1/4 inches wide. The tall crown and modest brim width is classic 1930s!
I’m downsizing my collection and I have several other hats for sale. Theses a...re all used hats and show signs of prior wear. The photos are a part of the description so look close and ask for more phots if you are still not sure.
Shipping: Due to each hat normally requiring its own box for protection in shipping, I cannot offer reduced/combined shipping on multiple purchases.
I do not guarantee fit. When the manufacturer’s sizing is available I will provide that. I can provide interior length and width measurements, but I cannot accurately measure the circumference. Upon request, I can provide you with the circumference/size as determined by a milliners sizing tool, but in my experience that tool measures hats approximately 1/2 size or 0.5cm smaller than the actual size. The stiffer the felt the lass accurate the tool is. My opinion on the fit is just my personal take and is NOT to be relied on for how the hat will fit you (it’s just how the hat fits me).
Hats will become distorted in shipping. I package hats with care, but the box, packaging materials, heat, and the “care” shown by postal employees all work to distort crowns and brims. Shaping and reshaping hats is part of the fun of hat ownership, and this hat will need some shaping when it arrives.
Leather sweatbands are prone to dry rot and other problems. I try to provide accurate photos, but I make no warranties on the condition of the leather.
Vintage hats are by definition “old.” Old things wear out, develop issues, sometimes need repair, etc. This is just a reality when you buy vintage so please be prepared. This hat will show handling marks, soiling, and other signs of use. I try to point out significant moth damage, but there can be moth/insect damage to the hat that I am not aware of. Look at the photos carefully and request additional photos if needed.
Color rendering is always a potential issue. The type of lighting, camera settings, and the monitor/screen the images are viewed on all allow for the colors of the item to look different in person compared to what you see in the listing on eBay. Please request outdoor photos in natural light if you have any concerns about the color rendering. Most of my photos are indoors in artificial light and the colors shown will not be accurate compared to what they look like in natural light. If accurate color rendering is important to you please ask for photos in natural light, but even those may be different from the color of the item. Felt colors in particular are hard to accurately capture.
I do not accept returns. I ship only to the United States of America. I don’t invoice buyers and if you win multiple items you will need to pay for them separately.
The auction/sale is just for the hat. The box and any other accessories are for display only and are not included unless expressly stated otherwise in the listing.
Please see my other auctions and good luck.
