    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    BORSALINO: black - looks almost unworn but in a Canadian travelling case. Size 58, stitched-in liner but no labels under sweatband. Wondering whether Cappelleria Chiesa (near Milan Cathedral) was an outlet for only religious wear and what era they were in business? (Over to you Daniele!)...

    French Hats and makers.

    Chapelier Adrien, Paris. Size 57 Date stamped 8 Jan 1960 under sweatband. Very soft & pliable beaver felt (Castor Hudson). Very fine stitching to sweatband, all high quality. The brim raw edge is a little uneven in a couple of places, so I suspect it might have been trimmed at some time, but ...

    Thanks Steve and Daniele. You both have an astonishing repertoire of fine continental hats and are an inspiration. I will post a couple of others when I make time to take pics. Chris

    Fedoras afield

    Great to see your shots of La Serenissima, Daniele. Have holidayed several times, mainly over Christmas - our favourite city of all and now longing to see it again. The most evocative experience for us was crossing to San Giorgio Maggiore and visiting in the thick fog. Chris

    Hat cleaning shortcut?

    Hi Tony, No,I have not been aware of any appreciable change at all in the felt - with your great experience you could quite posssibly tell me otherwise. I can say that it did not change the colour, but certainly seemed to revive it. Thanks hatsRmefor the heads up with regard to the sticky -...

    Hat cleaning shortcut?

    I can’t find a great deal of information on hat cleaning in the threads, so thought it might be best to now start a new thread to share my experience and hope that it helps others. I use large, strong dog wipes containing aloe-vera for my black Labrador. Some of my hats being grubby, my...

    Wormser

    Thanks Harv. I'm surprised there is not more info or interest for Wormser - mine is the only one I have handled, but if it is anything to go by they were very well made hats. If they were also available by mail order as the label in mine states, I assume that they must have been reasonably...
