Big Black Stingies, Pinnacle and Borsalino

[frussell]

My photos as usual are not great. These both came out looking grey, but both are black, with black ribbons. The Borsalino Torino came from a fellow lounger with a non-original brown ribbon, which I had replaced. It's got super thin, lightweight felt, no damage in or out, but may need a cleaning/steaming/blocking to get rid of slight pinch mark in front. Holds a shape well dry-bashed. Brim is Cavanaugh edge, 2 1/4", crown roughly 5"
The Pinnacle is a result of me really enjoying my then-new brim cutter a bit too much. 100% beaver fur. It's got a bound brim of 1 3/4", just a hair under 5" crown. Makes a great porkpie/rude boy hat. Also a 2" black ribbon. Both hats have had their liners removed, but original liners will be shipped with hats. I've just realized that it's too hot and dusty in the desert where I live for black hats to be practical. I'm asking $80 plus UPS shipping (usually around $15, depending on destination) for the Borsalino, $75 plus shipping for the Pinnacle. Both are 7 3/4, the Pinnacle could accomodate a very long oval 7 3/4 or a 7 7/8. Save these little big hats from the coming dust storms of the summer! Thanks, Frank
