This bowler hat is in excellent vintage condition: I can find no flaws other than a small white spot on the crown, as magnified in photo #! - this can be obliterated by a dot from a Sharpie. There is a tiny bit of rubbing on the interior leather band.
The hat was in old stock from George W. Hess & Sons, as indicated by the label applied to the cream silk satin interior which also has the address of the shop: 5542 N. Fifth St., Phila., PA. as well as the shop's slogan: Nationally Preferred Men's Wear. The interior leather band has the same information stamped onto it as well as the monogram: H MC C. Apparently the hat was never delivered, never worn. The size label indicates size 7.
What a wonderful example of 1920s menswear at its best! This bowler would certainly enhance - or be the focal point of - your contemporary or vintage ensemble and would be a wonderful addition to your vintage hat collection.
Note: If you live outside the contiguous US, shipping is not free: please contact me prior to purchasing so I can determine the actual shipping cost.
