Fingers crossed, Brent. Worth taking a shot at.
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.

I run into sellers doing this from time to time. I get that it’s easier to measure accurately than the inside circumference, but it’s of little value. The thickness of the sweatband, the thickness of the felt and the ribbon, and the type of bow all contribute to a lot of variables. As small differences in those measurements make a big difference on fit I find them to be of little use.

Yes, what lovely computerized handwriting and bar codes they had in the 30s as well!

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.

Whoa! That has some great proportions going for it as well, Joe. Nice catch.

Thanks Stefan.. I’ve been fancying one of those with the pretty little Knox logo wind trolley button. Ah the little things

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'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 wonder if it is stitched together from nutria pelts rather than from felt... I must agree with Stefan as to its strangeness.

I bet this will become a favorite. They just did everything right when they made these hats.
