Bilke’s Men’s Black Fedora - Vintage

For the gentleman who craves the classic look. This gorgeous vintage black fedora will become a wardrobe staple. Excellent pre-owned condition. Comes with the original box if you so desire. Imprinted inside band with Bilkes Hatters and the original owners name. 24” circumference measured on the outside of the hatband. Research suggests it was handmade by Jim Bilke in Baxter Springs Kansas. Probably fine fur felt in the style of the Stetson fedora.
