OK, I can tell you some answers here (I'm at work), but exact dimensions, etc. will have to wait until I get home so I can measure. Here goes:

Exatly what size is it ?
-57 or 7 1/8

How old is it? When did you buy it?
-I've had it since the beginning of February this year.

From whom? HJ direct?
-Yes, I bought this directly fron the Herbert Johnson hat shop in London; I ordered this by speaking directly with Mr. Swales.

Previous owners?
-None, only myself.

What "modifications" did you do to it?
-Pretty much none, it carries the bash that Herbert Johnson gave it; I only tried to shape the brim a little. I was going to give it a full reshaping recently, but Fedora advised me against it and told me to send it to Joe Jr. But before I did, circumstances changed and now, unfortunately, I have to sell it, so it hasn't been reshaped.

What kind of use did you put it through?
-I have only worn it to work and home since when I bought it. No outside "adventures" that would dirty the hat (it was too expensive!) The new owner might want to give it a new lining or wash the original one; they also might want to get it reshaped according to taste but that varies from person to person. Overall, I believe it is in very good condtion, but everyones opions vary so I advise you to look at the pictures-they tell it's condition better than I can. I also forgot to mention that I will ship it to the buyer in the original box I received it, as well as all papers from HJ (I have to check on the papers part, though, to make sure I still have them, but I'm pretty sure I do).

I hope this helps;please contact me if you have any more questions.
