Nice hat Rick! Never heard of Willoughby hats here in England. The print on the liner logo is very similar to those used by Bates Hatters and Lock & Sons, so I wonder if Willoughby was an offshoot of some kind (for a different market or quality) of one of those makers - unless the design of the...
Panizza Paniflo in green. Very soft malleable felt. Sweatband is quite worn so it serves me as an all-weather hat. It's only a 56 so I stretched the heck out of it.

Borsalino Homburg in grey. CASTORO (Beaver). This was owned by a titled gentleman of Turin.

I Liked what I saw when I opened the box! Will post individual pics when time allows.

I like it Steve. I think it's the same one I was tempted by recently. I passed it up as I had a couple of others in the pipeline and am really pushing my luck as it is. (Telling her they are advance Christmas presents!)
