    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Hi jamespowers, Shudde does and did hat renovations, so I would agree it's possible that the hat had it's sweat band replaced by Shudde...that would at least explain the total lack of labels. Does the liner give any hints to age? You say you think it's no older than the late 50's, can...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    A request to join the Brotherhood AND help needed... I just won my first Borsalino and would really appreciate the brotherhoods help in dating it. The ebay seller represented that the hat was from the 1940's which was in the era I was looking for but the hat seems to be unconventional...

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Well said... You nailed it Foofoogal! I did write it, and my wife inspired it. Too many woman sell themselves short, they have more allure than they realize.

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Not dangerous... Definitely not dangerous...I just enjoy the nuances of a woman as much as I enjoy the nuances of a fine wine. Nothing French here...100% made in America!

    Got it? Good call Jamespowers, it went right over my head. Very interesting factoid Monsieur Picard, I wonder if anyone knows this on the watchuseek forum?

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    The ideal woman is like a fine bottle of wine... Pardon me folks for using a hackneyed metaphor, but the ideal woman truly is like a fine bottle of wine: In her youth she excites on shear beauty and the allure of immediate gratification, once revealed she leaves you wanting more. Should...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Confused? I still don't follow the code, what does the "à" represent? When you say "years 50" or "years 60" are you referring to the decade?

    cleaning with naptha

    Re: Naphtha... I've been reading through all the threads regarding cleaning hats and liners with naphtha but I have not seen any one answer the question of "is there a difference between naphtha and NW&P naphtha?" My local Lowes and Home Depot only carry VM&P, it is the same stuff?

    Panama Hat Thread

    Beautiful.... Hi daizawaguy, It's truly a gorgeous hat, is it yours or someone else's that you are admiring? The weave is so fine I could not begin to guess the MC on it, do you have any idea?

    If all else fails...re-block it Hi HatGuy, I'm curious to know if you have the same success as Gene. My Montecristi goes wavy all over the place and steaming and hand flanging has not helped. I'm shipping it to Art Fawcett for re-blocking next week. You probably have the same situation as...

    Great hat... I stand corrected, I did not see a herringbone pattern at first glance, takes a trained eye like PB's. PB, can you tell where it was woven?

    Panama Hat Thread

    Re: Blocking for CRH Hi CRH, I would definitely go "unblocked". I received a gorgeous blocked Montecristi Fino from PB, but my head shape caused the brim to go wavy as soon as i put it on. I bit the bullet and I'm having Art re-block the hat to my own shape which he gets from a clever...

    A thought on Panama vs Felt... Hi gents, thought I'd chime in. I've gotten a crash course in hats over the last three months thanks to conversations with PB, AF and BB and came to the conclusion that in each material a man should have at least two hats. With Panama's you need at a minimum...
