Mossant Castor Hudson fedora in a grey colour called Ardoise (slate). Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at a fairly low 9,5cm at the center dent. The beaver felt is excellent and has a nice hand. Still deceiding if I want to wear this one brim up or down. Leaning towards brim up. Weighs 105 grams.

Collins&Fairbanks Co extra quality fedora in grey. Size 57 or 58 (not quite sure) with the bound brim a smidge under 7cm and the crown at an impressive 11,5cm at the center dent. There is a small label with a 5 on inside of the sweatband, but you can just about see the 1/8 on the lower right side of the label, so indeed either a 57 or a 58.
It really wanted the camber style it is in right now. The label tells us what we expected of this hat. It was actually made by Mossant and the colour is called Gris Lugano. There is a label with the JB logo stuck over the Mossant label though. JB being Jean Bourrel, a French manufacturer in its own right, and it is likely that in this case they were the wholeseller to Collins and Fairbanks. The hat has great styling and felt and weighs 106 grams. But is is too big for me (dang!).
