GallatinHatMan - I watched . . .

I was watching that one, and am quite surprised that it went for that price, especially since the auction listing mentioned the original box. I have all my vintage collection in vintage boxes, and Borsalino boxes are relatively rare. I already have a vintage Borsalino just like that one, on the left in this old pic of my thin-ribbons:

I have so many hats already, cry there is only one head to wear them on. I paid about $145 for my copy of that Borsalino in an auction maybe 3 years ago. Worse, I have no Borsalino box to put it in, so it sits in one of those common Knox boxes. Nowadays, I only bid if it is below $20 AND it is something I do not already have in the collection. That one was over $20, and I already have one, but couldn't stop myself from watching anyway. Congratulations to you, GallatinHatMan, ya scored big time on this one!!!

I'm pretty certain that it's another JtL hat based on size, condition, and price.

Fess up! :D

OK! OK! I confess! :D

I just love the felt/ribbon color combo along with that beautiful edge binding -- and it looks like a unique ribbon treatment, as well. Very cool.

Cheers,
JtL

I just pulled the trigger on this outstanding example of an original Abercrombie & Fitch pith helmet...in my size!! This helmet dates back to the very early 20th century, when A&F was a real outfitter equipping the likes of the Teddy Roosevelt safari of 1909.
