※Please check the profile section before purchasing.※ The images are of the actual hat being sold. This is a US Navy sailor hat, also known as a "Dixie cup" or "セルピコハット" (Serpico hat), a genuine item. Made in the USA, it is deadstock, unused, and has been re-dyed. Dyed by a professional dyeing specialist, not a simple home dyeing process. It's dyed black, but it's not pure black; it has a finish ranging from dark gray to a charcoal black. Each item has a slightly different finish and texture, giving it a handmade feel. Therefore, consider this hat a one-of-a-kind item, as no two are exactly alike. There are slight nep (weave irregularities) on the brim. This does not affect wearability. Usually, the re-dyeing process causes shrinkage, making the actual size about one size smaller than the original. However, this particular hat is an exception, with minimal shrinkage, maintaining a large size. The contract label has also been dyed, so the size information on the label is unreadable. Please understand this. Color-fixing treatment has been applied, so significant color fading is unlikely. However, for the first few washes, please wash the hat separately to be safe. Furthermore, if you contact us after receiving the product because the size doesn't fit, we will not be able to assist you. Size preferences vary from person to person, so please purchase at your own discretion. SIZE: 8 1/2 Inner circumference: Approximately 65cm (measured with the brim bent up, as a sailor would typically wear it. There is a little more room if the brim is laid flat.) Please allow for slight variations. MADE IN USA. We handle genuine vintage and deadstock military clothing from the British Army, US Army, French Army, and more.
