Never has a bucket had a finer hat. Looks good on you as well. Now does a Whippet mean the actual model or it applied more to a style?

Whippet is the model. Sometimes they are marked on the liner like this one, sometimes they are marked on the sweatband.

Ive tied several of theirs... when I lived in Seattle, I attended a few of their get togethers. There were usually free samples available ( I took them up on it lol). Wildman is sort of a medium english with a fair bit of latakia

A coffee co-hort ask about doing a brim curl the other day. This morning I took this little Stetson 3x wool that I had done a mild brim curl on for him to see . Threw in a pic from when I first got it for everyones amusement.

 

[RickP]

I also took a Resistol Quicksilver for him to look over. This one has a full curl done on it. This was a BIG hat and the bigger curl really does a good job of making the hat look less oversized. Its still a big hat but I like it lol ( couple of pre curl pics included here too) Tried a few different "loud" silver bands before I decided to go with the slightly more descrete leather band

Resistol fans dont worry, Im in process of replacing the Stetson button on the hatband with an old Mercury dine

A new vintage Borsalino arrived yesterday in a bag, completely squashed.
No steam at all, only a small brushing and here it is

I bought it for the color and the finish of the felt.

"Folco" is a color that I love very much in the Borsalino range and the finish as well.
It is not antique, in fact it is quite recent and in excellent condition.
To be precise Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore, size 6 1/2 so 60 cm. in EU and 7 1/2 in US, sold in Bari in a shop that over time has supplied me with excellent hats that others had bought.

Have a nice day my friend and keep the hats coming!

Love when that old felt springs back to life.

Northwest Hats.

If you don't see me for a few days, you can be pretty sure this one is still on my head. It's a hard one to take off.
