I agree, this isn’t modern. The felt does look more like a 1960s Trench … thin but not stiff. But if this was old soft felt, and stored away folded for 70 years, it would likely show similar creases, wouldn’t it? And I can’t get past the identical screening. I can’t see even the slightest aberration. I’m like 60/40 in favor of fugazi. It’s an odd pennant to remake and who was doing that in the 1960s?
