1950s Dobbs Rainbow Fedora – Olive Fur Felt Hat – Size 7 1/4

This circa 1950s Dobbs “Rainbow” fedora is a classic example of mid-century American hat making.

Crafted in olive fur felt, this vintage fedora features a sporty profile with narrower 1 5/8" brim at the front, a 2 1/2” upturned brim at the back and a 4 1/2" crown height. The original feather accent remains tucked into the band, and the interior retains its Dobbs “Rainbow” liner graphic and original 7 1/4 size tag.

Dobbs was one of America’s respected hat makers during the mid-20th century, known for quality fur felt and clean proportions. This example reflects early to mid-1950s styling, suitable for both tailored and casual wear.

An excellent choice for collectors of vintage Dobbs hats or anyone seeking an authentic 1950s fedora in an uncommon olive tone.

CONDITION

Very good condition.

The felt remains structurally sound. There is visible fading above the ribbon band, likely from a previously wider ribbon; this could be minimized with replacement by a slightly wider band if desired. Otherwise, clean and presents very well.

This is an interesting hat - rather unique sporty fedora with wider upturned back rim - attractive colour and style that is sure to be noticed!
