Whatever it originally looked like, Steve, that Echter Borsalino sure looks good now. I particularly like the way the bow flows onto the brim.
Shame about the sweat, but it certainly adds to the overall character of the hat. Nice find.
You fit in well with all those Amish straw hats, Don.
I'd be tempted to say to them, if you show me yours, I'll show you mine.
Love those buggies, too. I often have an Amish theme in my English lessons at my school. The kids are usually very interested in their life style. They're more to...
Thanks fellas, much appreciated.
It's early to mid 60s. Here's some photos of the inside.
It's called "The Rollup", but I don’t believe it was ever a coffin box hat.
Wonderful golden brown looking straw, Bill.
Love the unique geometric ribbon and bow treatment design.
The liner is a beauty in its own right. Very reminiscent of 1920s/30s Boater liners.
Never quite seen a straw like it.
