BRITISH 1940S/1950S BLACK HOMBURG FELT HAT BY CHESTERGATE. SIZE EU 55,5

DESCRIPTION 

This hat is of British origin and is by the brand Chestergate, most likely produced sometime during the 1940s or 1950s. It was sold new by Rydholms, a men’s outfitter located in Stockholm.

In colour, it is black and features a matching black hatband and edge binding. The interior is lined with a light silk fabric bearing the manufacturer’s logo. It has a light-coloured leather sweatband with both the maker’s and the retailer’s logos stamped in gold. The sweatband also bears the original owner’s initials.

As for condition, it is exceptionally good. Judging by the sweatband, it is doubtful that the hat has been worn at all. In short, the condition is perfect - as new. There are no signs of wear or other use. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own opinion of the condition.

SIZE

The inner circumference of the hat measures 55,5 centimeters. It can be stretched approximately half a size using a hat stretcher. Please scroll down for exact measurements.
