"Feel the Felt" was the motto used by Champ, a leading milliner of mid-range men's hats in the 1950s. This hat is still velvety soft and such a great color (and, once again, too small for my head).

When I bought this, it still had the owner's name and address tucked up under the inside band (so if he left it in a restaurant, it could be returned).

Another hat collector!

Nice example, though I prefer a wider brim.  It is sharp.

Thanks! I think the color makes it.
