Very nice.The 50s Borslaino arrived last night. Amazing, super malleable felt. Better in person than the pictures show.

I'd like to know where he got a control sample of Al Capone's DNA to test it against...

He could tell you, but then he would have to kill you. [emoji14]

Hehehe.... more likely it was Rick Mattix's hat.
Interesting info here, though, showing Capone's hat size as 6-7/8:

I want Marvin the Martian's hat!I bet you could find one just like it for about $750 cheaper. You could make your own fake COA saying it was Capone's if you like. Heck, you could even say it was Marvin the Martian or Bigfoot's hat if you wanted.

timothiescloset never ceases to amaze me, honestly. In the description it says "we can sell a vintage box with it for an extra 20-40" hehehe. He's actually the reason why a lot of people at school think I'm a Rockefeller since I sport vintage clothing almost all the time. They think every vintage seller is a timothiescloset, in a way
. I actually have one of his hats in my watch list, it's a $200 1940's homburg with its box. Thinking I can haggle the price down a bit, however.And regarding that Al Capone listing: holy crap, I cannot stop laughing about that. He's probably pacing himself in his bedroom, dealing with all the stages of grief at the same time, bahaha!

The feather is a cheap, dyed, number seen on late 60s - 80s fedoras from Hatco. My daughter has a Champ hat that looks similar... and the same silly feather. Alphonse Capone's hat. What a laugh.

This is a "modern" Borsalino, see the brand on the bow, so made in the last twenty years or so.
Everyone wants to know what he needs

Vintage and half off his original price of a very reasonable $2000.00. Sounds like a bargain. As I recall, Borsalino stopped putting their name in the bow keeper in about 1932.....
What was it that P.T. Barnum said?

Wonderful looking hat! The Savoy is a great model. Great catch!The 50s Borslaino arrived last night. Amazing, super malleable felt. Better in person than the pictures show.

Early Hawes Von Gal stiff hat c.1913 hiding in a more recent Dobbs box, From Joe Fried in Canal Dover, Ohio, when Dover went by that name (pre-1915). I wish Josh's great photos from the Hawes Von Gal thread were still active links. <sigh>
I think this will make the fourth Hawes Von Gal posted here...
