Great look, Torpedo (and yes, the brown bowler looks just right with it).
There were some amazing suit fabrics around in the 60's - very colourful when viewed close up, but nicely discreet from a bit further away. I love 'em.....

Really nice looking Adam, Salty. You're on a roll lately with all the nice hats you've been posting :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Still keeping my eyes open for one in a similar colour with that natty box bow treatment - so neat! Both my Adams, much as I love them, have standard bows.....:(...
IMO, Tabarome (the 'original' is the only version I have tried - I believe the 'new' Tabarome is a little lighter and less individual) is the way to go if you want lots of leather and tobacco. Cuir de Russie is less obviously leather-ey, without the tobacco notes. I found that Tabarome was too...
Just wanted to add my voice to those of HPG and Torpedo (those guys are worth listening to, they know their stuff!!). Oh, and Miss Sofia too..... Anyway, a nice balance to the ensemble as posted, IMHO, and I agree that a tan or brown hat would be just a bit too coordinated :( .
The grey works...
I use Trumpers Spanish Leather as my everyday cologne, and it seems to have a good general balance of acceptability for most people - ie it smells nice (I get quite a few positive comments) but is in no way overpowering, too strong or too distinctive. So, it works for me as an everyday...
Looks like a beautiful Borso, Zetwal. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I'll be in Rome myself in a few weeks time, but I strongly doubt I'll see any hats as nice as that one. Just lovely.....

It does indeed work well as part of this ensemble :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Keep up the great job you're doing of inspiring the rest of us - I love seeing some of the more 50's and 60's based looks you post here :D

No need to apologise for posting this one twice, Miss Hannah - it certainly bears a second viewing! Hope it was a great weekend at Goodwood - must really try to go one of these years :o

Hi Metropd,
If this is still available, I will make you a firm offer of purchasing it for $100~ plus whatever the shipping to the UK costs.
Please let me know if it's still available.
Regards,
RobStC
Yes indeed you 'may' have spoken for it. That's why I said 'IF' it was still available..... ;)
Don't worry, I'm not trying to tread on your toes over this, just that a fair number of size-enquiry type replies to Classified postings don't actually turn into firm sales. There has been a lot...
Only one 'problem' (which actually isn't a problem for me.....;) )
On one of the Adams I got from you the brim binding became detached from the brim over a small length at the front of the hat. Looked like the stitching on the bound edge had just cut through the brim felt too cleanly and...
