Vintage Excellent 1950s Dobbs Beaver Fifteen Brown 7-1/8 & Box? Stetson

Description: This is an excellent, near pristine! This is a 1940s Beaver Fifteen Brown Porkpie fedora. This was actually manufactured by Dobbs. Hub contracted these fedoras out to Dobbs to manufacturer and place their labels on. This was a normal thing to do back then, many big manufacturers would do this, including Stetson, Knox and all the other large manufactures.The front brim can easily be flipped up or down. It’s a great sharp looking hat! If you’d like it steamed down please write to us. It’s easily flipped though. This was found in that 1950s Dobbs hat box. This is just your classic Porkpie style hat with a back bow. It’s like stepping back in time to the 1950s when men NEVER walked out of the home with their hat on! We know that the size tag states 7 but this measures to a perfect 7-1/8, read below.That Beaver 15 is extremely soft and pliable! It’s easily shaped into any style with just a bit of steam or simple hand bashing. These hats are very popular with Jazz, Rock, Country Music artists and you see these worn at their concerts all the time. These are rarely found in such pristine condition! We filled the picture gallery so you can see every detail! It’s looks near pristine! Leather sweatband is perfect! Completely secured to the hat and still very soft and pliable! NO MOTH BITES and NO STAINS! We didn’t want to say it’s new because it’s just too beautiful to have never been worn! We can’t find a thing wrong with this fedora! If you have any questions please write to us. NOTE: this was just edited to now include an option for a coat trolley string. A Brown one will look perfect with this fedora! This is NOT sewn onto the hat but could be by any decent tailor or the end can be trimmed off and used just as an adornment. It’s pretty easily done.Dad has a few different color newer 1960s Coat Trolley strings that are listed here on eBay. They make great additions to any hat for that extra bit of styling. Write to us if you’d like to buy one. This will only add $14 to the sale price but please write to us before buying this fedora. The DOBBS box is still in very good condition with its original hat holding insert set. If you’d like the hat box shipping will be $32.30. It’s a large hat box and needs a large shipping box and that’s why it’s costs more to ship. You must write to us though before you buy the hat so we can change the shipping cost. So currently there is NO hat box included in this sale. NOTE a if you are outside the continental USA the shipping box is NOT included unless you write to us first! It costs to much to ship internationally. Details: Brown, the picture of the whole underside is the best match to the actual color.
