What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Thanks very much guys. The proportions on this hat are unusual. The brim is very narrow - it wears like a bowler but with a soft crown and flat top. Some hats are just easy to wear - perfect fit, not a sail in a gust of wind... this is one of those hats. The history is interesting too. I always... -

I've purchased a number of hats from intrepid thrifter Spencer Stewart over the years. I think this old Bulgarian sold nutria fur Barbisio is my favorite. It remains one of my favorite hats to wear. -

<smile> - Thank you Daniele...I like the idea of a while hat more than I find a good occasion to wear one. Thanks Steve. The project was a prototype for Garrett - I don't think he would mind me sharing the final version. The prototype I purchased from him does have a pre-war look, though the... -

A prototype for a custom project - later era Borsalino adapted by Black Sheep Hat Works. -

Absolutely fantastic, Steve. +1 on that review. A real corker... and a treasure. -

Aw thanks... this is an old and worn No.1 quality that I don't wear too often. It does have a nice flat flange. Glad you like it. -

Thanks very much fellas. I believe this is the only example I have of a beaver fur hat from those heady years prior to the great depression. They were a special luxury back then. -

A bit of a rare duck... a longhair beaver fur fedora - likely 1920s, perhaps earlier. Beavers were in very short supply during these times and their pelts were much more expensive to source than hair, coney or nutria. Union made, no other manufacturer identity is present - nor have I found much... -

Thank you guys. These early 1950s Borsalino westerns learned everything America had to offer and returned a thin ribbon that was equal or better. Just a pleasure to own and wear. -

OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The union label identifies it as pre-1934. With the paper backed crown liner, I would guess not too many years before. -
Leather sweat band care?
Keep in mind, when choosing materials for treating your sweatbands that the leather is in contact with your skin. One of our members years ago posted that he would only treat sweatbands with moisturizers designed for human skin - specifically shea butter. I did try this on several hats, never... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Definitely not a common look - at least in the hats that have survived today. mFavaro is a Borsalino misto in a color name that corresponds to "blacksmith", at least I think so. <smile> I was a relentless pursuer at one point in time. I am more restrained these days. Unfortunately, I've always...
