    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I put here my best wishes for all of you for a happy and peaceful 2022. I know it's the wrong thread, but I wear caps very rarely and so I thought of breaking the rules to reach as many lovers of hats and caps tuned to Fedora Lounge. I hope it will be a less troublesome year than the previous...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Me too :rolleyes: Many of these Borsalinos are normal and commonly found on the Italian or European market, others are slightly more significant, but nothing special. Some, in the end, seem to me to be assemblies, or more hats combined in one, but that's just an opinion:)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    A bit in late, but you know these days are full...of nothing Steve here there is the interior of the T.W. Lees The only badge I found. It is in dutch I guess, even if "Ruzeno" the color is a venetian dialect and a stamp on the sweatband Hope you will give more details

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    This Italian hat is my favorite, perhaps because it is older than the writer:) We have little news about this black hat from the thirties Someone threw the liner in the garbage and no indication is present for the lack of a paper label Velour, as it is called on the sweatband, size 58...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    This is a mixed felt where wool is presenta ta least at 50% The surprises begin with a hat that has all the requisites for being old, except the brims which are incredibly short. "Extra - Tirso" size 58 centimeters in a plum colored felt and made of wool and fur with a touch that I often found...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Here we have one of the "mysteries" of this findim which most of the hats are made of wool or a part of them The hat has a beautiful felt, "silky" like some French Thibets from the 1930s that I recently found The indications on who could have produced it are scarce, if not the lining bears...

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Second of this raw I thought that this and the brown one are from the same manufacturer for the shape, components and some construction details. Maybe I was misled by the "La Moda" shop that sold them. "La Gran Marca - Zeus" size 57 centimeters. The wool felt is heavily sprinkled with shellac...

    Panos ask my contribution to this thread. Here we are:) We start the presentation with two hats that look like they were made by the same manufacturer and both are more wool than fur No label under the sweatband helps us understand, only the liners speak a little. "Extra Fine" size is 57...

    Gray day and slightly less cold than the last few days Today this hat came back in my hands and I decided that the color matched the day. T.W. Lees English hat which has the particularity of showing on the only label under the sweatband the color which is "Ruzeno", a Venetian dialect word that...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Today fog and temperature always around zero Celsius Gray is the reference color on a day where colors seem to have disappeared. Very few people around and a parfetta humidity for a December day One of the colors of the day is the brown of this Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore called "Folco"...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I confess that the cold this morning is remarkable and the sun you see is the very first of the day. The fog has been licking the southern part of the city for days without reaching the hills. The hat has been a puzzle since it came to my collection. The seller told me they belonged to an...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    A few days ago I gave a somewhat oracle-like answer to Pkyoakum about the quality of the Borsalinos. Today I had the time to make a small example between two totally different hats for production year and above all, target market, but with the same finish of the felt and the very similar color...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Continues, even today, the presentation of hats in warm shades (the palette of warm colors par excellence) which will continue until all hats of this category are exhausted. Today it is the turn of another Borsalino, helped in his presentation by a magnificent day of sun. I took a walk along...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
