    Thanks Anthony, the thin ribbons are getting a lot of wear these days. It may very well be My wife Terri's grandmother's quilt as well. All my pics these days are at my In-Laws who are generously putting us up as we continue house shopping

    Wess that ribbon is crazy. Still a cool hat just the same, adds a little variety here! 3X Open Road The older of the two I have and it has a 3 inch brim! Almost as thin and floppy as it's Borsalino cousins

    "Faded ring" around hat crown...

    Sometimes it is stained; I don't know if it is apparent in this pic but this hat has a slight orangey brown stain that might be a transfer from the sweatband that sat upon it for some time I'd guess

    40 I really dig those thin ribbons with a felted edge. If I recall correctly Harv has one too. Very cool hat!

    Thanks, Harv. I like the Akubra's for yard work and other sweaty activities. They are affordable and replaceable.

    Harv, how are you liking that RM? Mine's a little stiffer than my Camp Drafts but I dig it just the same. Wore it yesterday to help my parents with some yard work Nice hats today, everyone! Borsalino in the elusive Bismuto color (elusive because I couldn't say exactly what color it is, kind...

    JJ Hat Center & Pork Pie Hatters NYC

    Exactly Weekend mornings are usually not too bad, early afternoon weekdays can sometimes be good, traffic wise. The Big Power Outage had me walking home from midtown 130 blocks up to the GWB and across to Jersey. Wouldn't have been a bad walk if it wasn't 90+ degrees. 911 we were trapped in...

    JJ Hat Center & Pork Pie Hatters NYC

    I know from my 26 years living in and around NYC and listening to the radio traffic report the bridge was often very busy at rush hour

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I agree in general. Usually a button down shirt, jacket, sweater or flannel with wide ribbons but, hey....when I'm in the back yard with the cats anything goes!

    If it makes you feel better I did put on a light flannel over the t-shirt when I went to the grocery store this afternoon. ;)

    Thanks, I didn't like the shape this hat came with, after I re-blocked this crown it told me it wanted a center crease. Who am I to argue?

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Interesting that you mention the corrugated thing hanging in there till the 80's. My last thin ribbon came to me sold for the original owner who seemed to recall buying it in the 60's or 70's (I kind of thought he might be mistaken). If it's 70's I've got to give Borsalino credit for keeping the...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Indeed, and I yield to Your expertise in these matters. So do you think Fruno's or my thin ribbon Borsalino's are possibly pre WW2? That would surprise me but it wouldn't be unwelcome news
