    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Ronnie doesn't have a website and I get the feeling he's the kind of guy who never will. Really old school in a charming way. I send my treasures to Johnnys custom hatters 317 Longview, Tx 75601 (903) 753-4600 you can tell him that you were referred by Steve in Austin.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I would say the sweat is as thin or thinner than the original. And the guy that does the work, as well as owns it is Ronnie Bardwell. Last time he sent me a stretch of 1" vintage grosgrain in navy blue, no charge, with another hat he'd worked on for me, and I installed that on a silverbelly...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Here is my humble application the the brotherhood. Its a 60s Alessandria that I got on the bay last summer. Unfortunately when I examined it after the purchase I saw that the unreeded sweat had dry rot on the stitching in many places. My hat refurb guy said that he didn't know of anyone in the...

    Very nice clean lines. Looks like it has less brim curl than mine, more open-roadish

    Vintage Fedoras by Decade

    I wonder if anyone here can speak to why the unreeded sweats fell out of favor. I know that specialized machines were used in the process, which shouldnt have added to labor costs more than reeded. I have a couple of the unreeded and I find that they offer more a custom fit and are more...

    Stetson Flagship

    Thanks to you guys for all the great Flagships! I have never seen this illusive lid on ebay and wondered if it was like bigfoot--just talked about with insubstantial documentation. But the pics proove it and the boxs are delightful! I recently sold a Krofut & Knapp hat in chocolate brown--late...

    Wanted: Stetson Stratoliner Premier model unlined 7 1/8

    Thanks for the tip. Great Strat! Trouble is I have one of those in silverbelly, and a strat clone by borsalino in camel, and a Stetson 25 OR in camel. And by some miracle, a wife that doesn't have issues with this ahem harmless addiction...Still looking for that impossibly light early Strat with...

    I owned at one time an unlined early Strat that did NOT indicate vita-felt, and yet the "regular" felt was extremely light with a balance between soft and firm that was awe inspiring. A hat shapers dream. My current strat is from the 50s, lined, reeded, and is almost a winter-weight, though it...

    nope. just a standard premier model, with brown stamps, rather than embossed gold. but i will now be on the lookout for vita felt, as I really hanker for the light models, like my trusty borsalino strat clone

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    A while back I found a brownish early strat in near mint condition at a vintage store.(the one on my avatar) It was truly a wonder--with the non-reeded paper-thin sweat and felt so soft and shapable that i played with it for hours trying different styles for the crown. the near weightless...
