A classic shape of the era, the crown in the back is deeper than in the front and it has an upturned brim in the back and is designed to be worn tilted on the right side of your head.

Condition
Fair. Please note this piece has issues but is still really wearable and has been priced to reflect the faults.
- there is a 3mm by 8mm hole in the crown on the right hand side of the hat. It is visible when worn because it sits right on the top edge of the crown - see 6th photo
- there are a number of areas of moth grazing, mostly on the underside of the brim, but please zoom in on the photos to make sure you're happy with them
- the grosgrain is a little grubby on places
- the inner band has some worn areas - see photos
