    My favorite thing about these hats aside from the obvious incredible finishes are the amazing interiors. It's too bad they are hidden from view while wearing. Thanks for the update Steve

    Here's a recent Bob refurb which optimistically reminds that straw hat weather is not too far off. My hat rack has been missing an Optimo crown Montecristi but Roberto and Jula from City Vintage solved that problem for me. He had a nice vintage Optimo body that lacked a sweat but did have plenty...

    Che is Photobucket challenged at the moment but he emailed me some pics when he got it so I'm taking the liberty. Believe me, this body was a limp piece of vintage felt Che got from Roberto and Jula at City Vintage and Bob was pretty sure he couldn't do anything with it but said what the hell...

    Bond Hats? (No,not 007)

    Get to bump an old thread. Guess Bond is fairly rare, couldn't find out much about them but believe I read here somewhere they were made by Hat Corporation of America (thanks for the correction Jim).

    Fedoras afield

    It's unlikely at this point in my life but nice to know I'd have your expertise if it did happen again. In the early 2000's I spent some time in Cinque Terre, Venice, and Florence. We drove to Turin from Chamonix France and took a train to Nice/Cinque Terre. Magnifico! We loved Cinque Terre so...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    +1 and the dated tag on bulers is especially interesting. I wonder/speculate if it was added by the USA importer/dealer as it's very different than the usual borsy paper tags
