30s Vintage Brown Felt Fedora Hat Trilby Large VFG
I believe this hat dates to the 1930s, due to the trilby shape - similar to a fedora, but with a narrow brim. It has the typical pinch to the crown, and a wide grosgrain ribbon outer band. It once had an inner sweatband consistent with my dating as well, but that was removed and separated from the hat more than 20 years ago, when I lent it to a friend.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
