It’s definitely not pristine and overwelts are not my favorite brim edge. Still, I’m hopeful that it comes out alright and that the seller’s measurements were accurate.
Betcha a quarter it is a 59, or there abouts.Jumped the gun a bit. This hat was listed as a size 62, decent price. Click. Might be a black homburg, but I know the brand and they make fine hats. Scroll a bit ahead and find the pic they based the size on

Still worth it at the price, but unfortunately not a size 62. Wonder what the size turns out to be.

Max is probably right. I think I remember reading a discussion by a lounger that said running a tape around the outside of the hat ribbon and all he found most of his hats measured right about two sizes bigger.

Will it stop a falling anvil?
If I'm not counting the "there abouts", you owe me a quarter : it's a size 58!Betcha a quarter it is a 59, or there abouts.
Whoa! That has some great proportions going for it as well, Joe. Nice catch.Should arrive after the holiday weekend
pretty sure it’s a chocolate brown... but I wouldn’t be upset if it was anything like the lavender tones showing up in the sellers photos.

Thanks Stefan.. I’ve been fancying one of those with the pretty little Knox logo wind trolley button. Ah the little thingsWhoa! That has some great proportions going for it as well, Joe. Nice catch.
I've seen some different hats from Barbisio, but this has got to be one of the strangest so far. Very interesting though. Looks like it was made under license. The liner is gorgeous and the "piel nutria" logo on the sweatband is kind of cute.I normally pass by any sewn together hats but this Barbisio grabbed my attention. One or two sizes too small for me, but I was intrigued. The seller charged me little more than shipping so....

I don’t have any expectations so I can’t be disappointed.
I wonder if it is stitched together from nutria pelts rather than from felt... I must agree with Stefan as to its strangeness.I normally pass by any sewn together hats but this Barbisio grabbed my attention. One or two sizes too small for me, but I was intrigued.
