Here is a style I had never seen before...

Now this isn't mine. The seller on ebay said it is a 40s era Borsalino. It is clear that its a Borso, but there was no liner inside, so age is unknown to me. The leather sweatband met in back without being sewn together.

Now, I have seen the style where the ribbon carries through the knot and ends in a single-sided bow. But I've never seen a ribbon end inside the knot having no bow at all in the way this one does it.
It is difference, I think.

The Champ featherweights end with no bow, but not nearly so ornate. I like this treatment.
