here are two new Borsalinos. First, a sisal straw fedora with a 2.5" brim, which i like but will be returned due to being too snug. Second, a check cap in wool, flax, and silk:

Stetson Real Nutria feather weight c.1930

An interesting lightweight western hat from the early years of the depression - from the dimensions it could pass as an ancestor of the Stratoliner which was to follow a decade later. The nutria felt is somewhat denser and more complex than the first generation Strat, but very light - the hat weighs 2.8 ounces. 2 3/4" brim, 5 1/2" open crown, 1 1/8" ribbon. The two inch wide sweatband is paper thin yet still flexible and showing very little evidence of wear. The hat has hosted moths, but the damage is mostly shallow and on the underside of the brim. I believe this one will clean up and shape nicely. It's a very pleasant wear.

Just got my Stetson Chatham, and I'm already loving it. It looks great!

And it looks great on me, if I do say so myself:
