Post New Hats Here!
I'm thinking this is somewhat earlier, based on the crown patch and the bow style. Early to mid fifties I'm guessing. -

Post New Hats Here!
Very cool find. Marcel and a good looking hat. Likely not beaver though: all the English union labels looked the same as that one. I think Moores is the maker of this hat. They used the more square looking size and colour or model label. The lettering on the sweatband makes me think Moores as well. -

Dating a Borsalino
Give it a brush now and then and keep it in a hat box when you're not wearing it. No need to be too precious; after all it managed very well for the past sixty years or so. -
Dating a Borsalino
They are lovely hats. As far as I gathered the base was rabbit and the hare fur was layered on top to create the longhair finish. Hare fur is known to have a better sheen than rabbit. -
Dating a Borsalino
It's not beaver. Probably a mix of rabbit and hare fur. Borsalino didn't use beaver very often. If they did it would say "castoro" somewhere on the liner or sweatband. -
Dating a Borsalino
Welcome to the lounge. It's vintage. This kind of label appears from 1961 until 1972, so the hat is likely from the sixties. The felt colour is Uranio and the ribbon is black (nera). Nice quality felt on those Diamante twenty five hats. -

Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Robert. A note from my mother is going to be a tall order, so I'm glad I'm off the hook. -

It's a beautiful hat, but it looks like an open crown homburg to me. -

Was in Lisbon last week. Highly recommended, especially for (sea)foodlovers. The trusty Dunlap panama was with me. The iconic trams Tower of Belém Pastéis de Belém, which is the name only one bakery is still allowed to use. Every one else calls them pastéis de nata. Puff pastry with a...
