One down, two to go. This is the $8.99 cotton linen Stetson stingy brim I scored off eBay. As the seller stated, it's in perfect condition. My first summer hat (ironic that I'm wearing a winter flannel shirt in the photos!).

Echter Borsalino, Point 5, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, probably late 1930s and made for the German market. The felt is medium weight and very pliable. There is a wind cord which is uniquely wrapped (see photo) with contrasting band and binding. There is a separate paper size stamp and the main paper label has "Amiata, C. Nera, Gorasgu". The hat is in mint condition and was sold by Ferdinand, Klan Hof i / B. (Bavaria).

That's a beautiful hat, Steve. Do you know how the wind cord works?

Wonderful. I love that liner logo. Great colors.

Here's an earlier Optimo I recently received. It has some weight to it. I like the VVVV stitching on the sweatband. I don't believe they use this technique anymore. At least not on the one I bought new a couple years ago.
