Creighton Fedora Details
This vintage gray fur felt fedora by Creighton delivers sharp classic style with clean mid-century lines and confident structure. The color — identified on the original interior store tag as “Atlas Slate” — reads as a rich, smoky gray that pairs effortlessly with navy, charcoal, camel, and black.
The crown features a defined center crease, while the brim turns slightly upward at the back for a polished 1950s–early 1960s silhouette. A matching grosgrain ribbon and bow complete the look with understated refinement.
Inside, you’ll find a cream satin lining printed with the Creighton script logo and a winged “MB” crest emblem, along with the original detachable store tag noting style and color. The leather sweatband is supple and clean.
This is a versatile mid-century fedora — tailored enough for a suit, relaxed enough for modern styling.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE
HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE
- Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
- Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE HAT
Vintage Hat Care
Always handle vintage hats by the brim, not the crown. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a hatbox or covered with acid-free tissue to prevent dust. Avoid using modern sprays or steam, as these can damage delicate materials and trims. For reshaping or cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional milliner experienced in vintage restoration.
