Now here’s a vintage 1930's - 1940's Pedigree Sennit Straw Boater, the kind of hat that could turn heads on a summer stroll down the boardwalk. Stiff build, wide 2 3/4" brim, and a proud 3 3/8" crown - this beauty’s got presence. Sized at 7 LO but fits more like a snug 6 7/8 to 7, just right for the fella with a taste for the finer things and a little swagger in his step.
It’s got the kind of character you can’t fake - a thick, heavy straw with some flex, a sweatband that's been through a few good tunes but still holds firm, and a liner pad showing a bit of salting from days gone by. Even comes with the original newspaper spacer - talk about nostalgia. She’s worn, she’s seasoned, and she’s got stories to tell. Take a good look at the photos, kid. This one's got soul.

PLEASE READ
Notes on Fit & Sizing:
- True vintage hats may have a story to tell, and that includes a bit of natural shrinkage over time. Please refer to photos for precise sizing confirmation.
- In most cases, a fine hat stretcher can restore the original dimensions. If you prefer a roomier fit, we recommend choosing one size up.
- A gentleman or lady never leaves fit to chance! Take a moment to measure your head properly and consult our hat sizing chart.
Color Representation:
- Captured under professional studio lighting, our hats are presented in their true hues. However, colors may appear slightly different under various lighting conditions.
- With that in mind, we may showcase how the hat looks under natural sunlight as well as indoor natural lighting.
Material Notes:
- Beaver or Rabbit felt may carry a distinct aroma due to steaming-an old-world mark of quality!
- Any blemishes, signs of age, or character marks are fully documented in our detailed photos.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD
Before selecting your fine new chapeau, wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your head-just above the eyebrows and ears. Hold firm but not tight! This is where your hat will sit, so measure with precision and match to our size chart.
HOW WE PREPARE YOUR HAT
Every hat that graces our shop is treated with the utmost respect. Our meticulous process includes:
- Thorough brushing and steaming to remove any dust or imperfections.
- Gentle stain removal while preserving the integrity of the felt.
- Reconditioning of sweatbands with premium leather treatments.
- Maintaining authentic patina where appropriate to honor vintage character.
Our attention to detail ensures every hat is worthy of its next stylish chapter.
HOW WE STORE YOUR HAT
Only the best for our inventory! Our climate-controlled facility keeps temperature and humidity at ideal levels, ensuring each hat remains in peak condition. Additionally, we maintain a strict pest- and pet-free environment, safeguarding our headwear from unwanted intrusions.
PACKAGING EXCELLENCE
From our hands to yours, each hat is packaged with care befitting its stature. We select custom boxes designed to protect form and integrity, ensuring it arrives ready to wear and turning heads upon unboxing.
SHIPPING YOUR HAT
- No hat stacking here! Stacking leads to warping, creasing, and feather damage. To preserve each hat's elegance, we ship them individually.
- Every order is handled with the precision and pride of a master haberdasher, ensuring your hat arrives in impeccable condition.
RETURN POLICY
Fit is everything, and we go the extra mile to ensure you have all the information needed to choose wisely. As such:
- Returns for sizing issues are not accepted. We provide exact measurements, photos, and a detailed size guide.
- Returns are honored only if the item received differs from our description or images. Full return details can be found in the "About" section of our shop.
