Size 7 1/4, 5.5" x 2 5/8" Borsalino 1950s Gorasgu - Amitata c. Nero: $205

Some discoloration to the felt along the crease that's mostly visible when open crown not creased. Otherwise excellent condition, sweat stitches and leather are perfect. Unreeded sweat. The felt is of the sought-after thin & pliable quality.

Corrugated front section typical of Borsalino hats of the era:

Size 7 1/8, 5.5" x 2 3/8+" Knox Twenty charcoal w/ 22 ligne black late 1940s/ early 1950s: $270

Incredible felt, worthy of the denomination Twenty. Thick yet highly pliable; a nice fall/winter hat.

Size 7 1/4, 5.5" x 2 3/8" Templeform Aristo Supreme by Stylepark Homburg 1950s light brown: $145

A fine Homburg in a rarely seen color. The felt is very pliable and hold dry creases. You can switch between center dent with and without front pinches. Please excuse the dreadful picture quality under low light conditions. For color reference, the shot in the very first post of this thread is most accurate.

Size 7 1/8, 5 5/8" x 2 5/8" Victor Custom Hatter Dallas Milan late1950s: $125

A wonderful genuine Milan in a natural lighter brown, blocked in a straight crown shape with a "spine" elevation along the length of the crown roof.

The Borsalino Gorasgu is SOLD. All others still available.

I won't be here every day, so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to PM me rather than to post questions in this thread.

I just measured the Victor custom Milan and it turns out it's actually closer to 7 than 7 1/8. The sweatband circumference slightly below the reed where the head makes contact is just short of 22".

Just a plug for an awesome seller and hat lover. Offerings from his own hat collection are well worth a serious look if you are interested in any of the hats listed here.

Thanks for the bump, singlechange.

The Milan is not available any more. I'll follow my initial plan to have it reblocked to my size later this season.

Still available are:

Mallory Nokabout
VS Sahara

Where else are you going to find a perfectly nice and nifty Nokabout like this for that kind of price? Wish it fit ME!!
(FULL alliteration would be "NIK's Nice and Nifty Nokabout...)

Someone's going to get a beautiful new-to-them hat, or hats.
