Good Saturday morning all! I've sworn off of buying hats until my Gannon gets here but since I didn't have a beaver quality Stetson I had to pick this up from Miamibruno when I saw it on the bay.

50s, 60s open road-ish. It's close to a 3 inch brim than my normal width but I like it[emoji16]

My latest hat.

Specs:
Quality: 100% Beaver
Color: Navy Blue
Crown Height: 5 1/2 inches
Crown Ribbon: 5/8 inch, Navy Blue, 1920's Vintage
Brim Width: 3 1/8 inch (without under welt); 2 3/4 inch (after under welt)

This hat is completely hand made by me. The vent holes I punched each one by hand using a leather punch. I invented my own process for doing under welts because I don't have appropriate flanges to assist in folding over the felt. The flange on the hat is shallow because the only flange I have is a shallow cup. The fit is awesome, I worked the hat over early on to ensure it would be a perfect fit and it fits like a glove.
Nice work.

Nicely done you're very talented.

Good day to all..first post as a member, and I have to say I'm blown away by some of the beautiful hats I've seen posted here. Please feel free to direct me to the appropriate area if I'm in the wrong one..figuring out navigation of the forum ( its kinda huge ! ) I just picked up a Borsalino at a thrift shop, and am having trouble identifying it. Its too small for my large noggin, but to trade it or sell, I need to know what I have ! Any help would be great. I realize the band is new ( !! )

WELCOME to the Lounge simon . Some would know a lot by looking , but its better to show some inside shots of the sweat band , tag underneath , liner , that stuff it gives more info .

Hmmm...tried to upload some pics of the inside label , and liner , etc ..but I'm being told the file is too large !!! The label says U6126 ( left side ) ..98350 ( right side ) and..camel c/Brucina. The liner is the same color as the hat .

I don't believe you have anything of much value there unfortunately .. looks like a more recent production as well
and what do you mean by "I realize the band is new" ?
everything looks original to me

without pics of the inside there is no way to really tell what you have there
