Post New Hats Here!

Great Panama, Ingineer! There's just something about a straw hat that says cool and confident.

Alan you have done it again... This Parabuntal is BEYOND magnificent!!

Well, although new by many standards here, I am happy to present (thanks Dave) my FIRST Borsalino. Up to now I have not found one to fit me, as they seem to run scant. A perfect fit at their tagged size 64, or 7-7/8-us.

flawless, Charlie! Great profile to that one. Your smile tells it all! Great color too.

Thanks Justin!

Nothing wrong with a modern Borsalino, Charlie... it makes you look young. Congratulations on your first time. It looks great on.

Charlie, I take it from your ear to ear smile that you like the modern Borso? I'm trying to resist but that hat looks awesome! I love the color! Congrats on a beautiful new Borso!

The Borso looks great Charlie.

Nice find Justin.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Very nice. Tell us more. Head size, brim size.

 

[splintercellsz]

I'm guessing the head size to be in between a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4, as all sizing labels are long gone.

The brim looks to be around 3"

Great old Fray no.1... Pre-1920 I'd guess. Hoping to see that LOTXXXX no.

 

[Rogera]

You nailed it on that one Charlie!! That hat was made for you!!

Great old Fray no.1... Pre-1920 I'd guess. Hoping to see that LOTXXXX no.

I am trying to figure what it reads, but it's very faded... All I can make out is "lot"

 

[Joao Encarnado]

This was kind of surprise because I was not expecting for it to be a furry one like the Resistol Panda. A bit tight 7 1/4 with a 4" brim 5x beaver Stetson.
Don't know who Bruce E Chenoweth was... google points to a trucking company owner.

Thank you ALL for the kind and great comments!

RickC Being that it's my first Borsa, the jury is still out on a comparative analysis. Definitely a most soft and pliable felt. Seems to hold the shapes well. So far, so good.

Alan, yes we should never forget our first (if I recall correctly.)

Thank you Steve!

Thank you GDurand!

Justin you're really "wilding" in The Fray! Super find AGAIN! Great jacket as well... what's the vintage?

Richard thank you!

RogerA Thank you... I am shocked that it fits this well.

WOW, Joao!!! What a find that one is. One of your best!

Wow...that is one furry hat! Nice shape to the crown, doesn't look tapered. I bet that brim could be cut be down to about 2 3/4 to 2 7/8 and converted to an awesome looking fedora! nice one Joao.

Thank you! The coat is a 1930s Mackinaw

No, no and NO.

Nice find Joao - I like the long hair finish
