Vintage New Excellent 1950s Alexander Black Beaver Twenty Fedora 7-3/8

Description: This NEW EXCELLENT Late 1950s True Vintage ALEXANDER - Beaver Twenty - Black Fedora, size 7-3/8. We throughly checked this great fedora and it appears unworn! If it was worn it was only worn less than a handful of times and stored away. This was found in the 1950s LEE oval hat box. Since hat and box do not match no hat box is included. Anyway there were no hat holding insert set inside the hat box. So Dad and grandson did a bit of steam shaping and cleaning but that’s all. The brim can be turned up or down, as you may like it? This style fedora can be seen in all those 1940s and 1950s Crime Gangster Movies! Favorites of James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and so many others.So as my Grandson wanted to add to a newer movie: The Blues Brothers and the fedora hat that John Belushi wore in that movie. The color is Black. The picture of the whole underside reflects the actual dark black color. Dating was easy! The ALEXANDER logo design on the satin liner with the thin plastic liner cover liner with plastic overlay started in the 1950s. You can see the liner has started to get the yellow aged patina. Dad and Grandson steamed shaped a bit of a tune up, currently has been shaped into a pinched crown fedora because that Beaver Fifteen is so easy to work with! Pictures say much more about this great Alexander fedora! We took all angles and this is also part of the description. If you have any questions or need another particular photograph, please write to us. The beaver is very very soft and thick. We took out dad’s collection of 1950 Stetson Beaver hat, 3X 10X, 15X, 20X and the TwentyFive. This best matches a 20X TWENTY Beaver. This is a medium weight beaver fedora. Not the thinner lightweight type. This was a higher quality hat that could be an everyday hat. This is extremely soft and pliable and can easily steamed into any shape or style you desire. This is a VINTAGE Beaver Twenty and It’s nothing like what you would compare to any newer hat! It’s just very soft and thick beaver, soft and thick and so easy to shape! NO MOTH BITES OR STAINS! The only thing that we see is that bit of aged patina on that yellowish hat liner . See pictures. We NEVER hide anything on the great hats we list for dad. Though dad and I are both very old we always have my grandson do the final inspections with his young healthy eyes. If you’d like a coat trolley string added to this hat? Dad has these listed here on eBay. If you look through the listings you can see these. Dad has quite a few of older 1960s dead stock ones he acquired from an old hat shop that went out of business. They sell for about $18 but if you decide you’d like one it will add $14 to the sale price. These are still all very elastic and can be sewn on by any decent tailor or just added as a decoration. We suggest the brown one to match the hat. If you have any questions please write us. Ok now the particularsThe size tag states 7-3/8 and this measures to a perfect 7-3/8 at 23-1/8 inches. So we always measure each hat 3 times, using different methods to verify the actual size. We use the Tilley hat size chart. This chart is still in use today. Color Black Size 7-3/8 or 23-1/8 inches or 59 Length 12 inches Width 10.4 inches Height 5 inches, at the highest point, as shaped now Wide Brim width 1.6 inches Matching Grosgrain ribbon 2 inches THIS IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL HAT! Everyone will turn heads for this hat! We Carefully packaged and ships though Fedex.Local pickup is always free. Ship with Fedex or USPS priority mail, whichever arrives quickest. Both costs a couple dollars more but they are very reliable and they do not crush or damage boxes, also much faster shipping. Please read our very excellent feedback. Dad has collected hats for a lifetime and there are 100s of them, on shelves, stacked in closets and spare bedrooms.We are slowly listing these special hats weekly. We stand behind the eBay garentee and have NEVER had and issue with returns. We ask you to verify your hat size before you buy and we supply the maximum amount of pictures but if you need anything please write and ask. No Smoking - No PetsThank You NOTE: when we ship Dad’s hats out we use strong shipping boxes and each hat we ship is FULLY INSURED and we are no longer going to handle broken box insurance claims. We discovered that one buyer crushed their shipping box and asked for a hefty partial refund. The shipper sent us a picture of the box sitting at the front door and it was NOT CRUSHED? We also discovered that because we were NOT in possession of the box it was impossible for us to file the claim. So now and in the future all claims will be handled by the buyer of the hat or item we ship. Again we ALWAYS carefully pack each hat so it will not be crushed in a good strong shipping box. There are always some Bad Apples around who make everyone’s life impossible! It not fair to the rest of the GOOD FOLKS but it’s a fact of life these days! If you have any questions please write to us. Thank you for your understanding.
