Vintage 1960s Blue Fedora Hat Fur Felt Bobby Lee Size 7 1/8

This is a nice quality 1960s blue fedora hat.  The lining is stamped with “Bobby Lee Hats Royal”.  Bobby Lee was a brand name of the Magill Hat Manufacturing Co. of Montreal, Canada, a company founded in 1895 by Isador Magill - please note that the quality created by Magill during the 1960s is quite different from what is now produced, as is the case with most of men’s hat makers, quality took a nosedive during the mid-1960s for many makers.  I’ve handled a lot of vintage fedoras, and this is a very nice quality hat.  The cardboard tag at the back of the sweatband reads size 7 1/8.  The hat is in very good condition - some slight soiling, nothing major. The crown has a navy blue roped band around its base and a feather at the left side.  The colour is described on the tag as “Solar Blue”, which is a greyish tone of blue.  It measures 22 1/8” around the sweat band and 8” by 6 5/8” across the opening.  The brim measures 1 7/8” in width and the crown measures 4 5/8” in height.  This 1960s blue fedora features attractive colour and nice quality - great mid-century hat!
