Size 60...

Size 60?

It has been inserted into my personal reserve

Oh well. Too nice for me anyway, and surely out of my price range.

New to me Optimo Chicago. I bought it on eBay, so I don't know what model it is. I will send these pics to Tiffani. Maybe she can tell me.

Tiffani said that the person who made those ribbons and bows worked there before she started at Optimo, which makes my hat at least 10 years old, and that the white liners were the standard five years ago.

I don't have much time - I am so busy these days it's hard to remember where I left my hat.

I did have a delivery in St. Joseph, MO a few weeks back and low and behold right next door to my customer was a Stetson Outlet Store. So I parked the truck and took an hour to peruse the goods.

Nothing. Nothing that fit, nothing that was attractive, nothing that was worth any money to me.

Then, just as I had given up hope, there appeared out of the dark corner of the back warehouse the biggest, most audacious hat I've ever seen. It was truly too ugly to not buy - and at 50% off how could I resist?

The open crown was about 6.5 inches. The brim is about 3.5 inches. The ribbon is so ugly I cut it off and burned it. The felt is 3 parts rabbit, 2 parts wool, 1 part cardboard and at least a half part fermaldahyde.

But you know what? I LOVE IT!!!!

THis is my new work hat. Good job, Stetson, thanks for a modern product I really, really like a LOT!!

Thanks Stetson, I LOVE IT!!

Wow. A block and re-order tag on a modern Stetson. Will wonders never cease?

The Dakota was designed by Matt Deckard and was a limited run hat sold thru Levis Vintage Clothing.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

A perfect member of the Borsalino patrol bought in Milan
The other component are the "Borsalino Mysterious" and a third in a beautiful "Mirtillo"

Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 1/2 French measurements, so a 60 in EU and a 7 17" in US

Very thin and malleable felt, in a medium brown color. NO paper label on this one.

The changhes in color sre due to different days in which the pictures are shooted. It change very often

Proportions are: raw brim at 5.5 cm. ribbon is 5 cm. and the crown 11 cm. with matching ribbon

It is a very malleable hats, thin a light, with an "old" shape, very interesting for the first autumn

It came new from the historica factory of Borsalino in Alessandria

I don't think it is out of your price range, It cost less then an Akubra
But it is not for sale, I have some others in this size ready to be part

Love that ribbon you put on it, Stefan. Great colour, superb style. Kudos.

Thanks, Steve.

That amazes me. When I sell something on eBay, I want the most I can get out of it. There's gold in cleaning things up and taking decent pics.

It is kind of amazing, Jim. But I do see an awful lot of auctions by sellers that seem to be cleaning out the attic and stumbled upon the hat owned by their father or grandfather and just put it out there as is. And that's fine by me: blurry pictures and dust keep prices low

Very nice, Daniele. The proportions of this hat make it look like a much older hat.

Puerto Fino Tuscany. The brim is just over three inches and the crown has a moderate amount of taper. The felt is dense and firm with a decent hand. My only issue is with the bow/ribbon work which is a bit wonky in its attachment.

Cavanagh derby (bowler). I suspect early to mid 1960s, but that’s just a guess.

Burton Taylor brown homburg made by Mallory dated 1958.

Light mothing and missing a liner. The felt is thin and easily shaped. The best part was I bought this with no idea of the size and it turned out to be a 7 1/2. Too small for me, but I’m betting I can find it a home. [emoji4]

Thanks, Justin. Having a large head and not being what anyone would call svelte, such a hat invites comparisons to Oliver Hardy and that’s not the look I’m after. I’m still not sure if I’ll keep it or pass it on.

When I posted the stingy pic I thought I had the Stan Laurel thing going.
