Post New Hats Here!

From a first sight they came from my country
Isn't it?

Sure did Daniele! These are mostly vintage, but for me Italian hats are still no.1.

1 Panizza, 10 Borsalinos and 1 no name. I've posted a couple and will get round to the others as pics and time allows.

I recognize the finish on the brim of the fourth hat starting from left....is a Borsalino special treatment
I'm very curious about your find.
You have luck Chris because in your size Italy could be a mine

Posted for you in the Borsalino Brotherhood Daniele. It is a gorgeous hat.

beautiful hat ... but why in the world do they insist on putting the logo on the knot ?

it just looks so tacky to me ... cheapens the hat something awful ... in my opinion anyway

Not sure why the do that today. Must be a branding thing.

I'm sure some marketing exec told them they need more "branding" ( Trust me, I work with these people on many marketing and add campaigns). Pretty sure these logo's on the ribbon don't come in til after the '86 sale of the company.

Branding or no that hat is a stunner, Dlaniger!

The Eagle has landed - Stetson Medalist Eagle (Vita-Felt process)
The bird is wounded (have a 3 or 4 moth bite like holes) so I don't have to be careful - I'll simply wear the hell out of this thing!

Above is all sellers pictures. I found a picture showing a missing angle from a similar hat posted in an old Medalist tread

My Akubra Balmoral arrived today, just in time for the awesome spring-weather weekend we're expecting (unfortunately, it's snowing again today).

I immediately set to work reshaping the brim and steaming the crown to give it bigger dents (I wasn't quite as successful with the dents as I was the brim).

Here it is next to my Ultrafino brand Panama hat:

They're almost the same hat except the Balmoral has a 1/4" larger brim (My balmoral is a little longer in front than on the sides, which is nice, because I bought it for sun protection during my doctor-ordered daily walks). I haven't worn the Panama hat much except to car shows, because there's usually some chance of rain around here. The Panama tequila straw is lighter and fits me much better. It also blocks light far better than the Balmoral.

I thought I might get rid of the Panama once I got my Balmoral, but now, I don't think that will be happening... the Panama is going to be my hot weather casual hat and the Balmoral will get more dressy use. In fact, I'll probably wear the Balmoral to church on Easter. The Balmoral also strikes me as a nice hat to wear in the city, whereas the Panama has more of a laid-back country feel to it.

We've gotten about 2 inches of snow since the hat arrived, or I would go outside and snap a selfie. Still, even indoors, I'm happy with the way it looks on me now that I've reshaped it some.

Akubra Bushman. Nice hat. Looking for the right bash for this wide-brimmed Campdraftish hat.

Impressive in many ways!

i tried every bash I could think of on mine ... none seemed to look right with the large brim ... I thought the cattleman looked best but I don't like a cattleman on myself ...
... so I blocked out the crown back to open and I wear it like that ... I dig it

Almost a reverse "Gus" crease. I like that idea. Great hat, just a lot of brim to handle. Should be great for sun/rain protection.
