Post New Hats Here!

[Roadopen]

Hi All,
Haven't really investigated the circa year of this Royal Stetson but it was kept in the box for quite sometime. There is no sign of sweat marks nor coloration runs along with tattered bows and what not.

The felt is smooth and the weight is very light, finely finished, the round up brim is curved perfectly all around. The color itself grey/gray is more of a slate/steel with a sheen.

I now present a newly member of my soon to be a collections of hats.
New for me this 2018 but made ???? :

The initial shape I did was the Cattleman's mode, I also did the classic Fedora tear drop/diamond shape style...can post later I guess so I kept this shape for now for pictures.

I think this as clean as it can get sans wind cord and the pin, I did brush it counter wise etc., hardly any dust.

Anybody in the know of age and price these would be going for back then and now?
Please feel free to educate my newly found hobby. Quite happy and lucky I'd say to score on this baby.

Thank You All!
Roadopen

These are purchases of a summer that is ending with temperatures above the norm after two intense and catastrophic storms of about ten days ago

Barbisio size 5 or 57 cm. done in the historic factory of Sagliano Micca, before 1980

The felt has a finish with short hair, very soft and malleable

The hat is garnished with a dark brown ribbon and the brims are edged of the same ribbon

The hat is very classic for Italian canons of about forty years ago.
The proportions are: brim to 5 cm., Crown to 12 cm. and 3 cm tape

The color is "Daino" and the finish of the felt is "Talpa"

The hat has arrived, along with others, in good consitions, but a measure too narrow for my head

Once the dust was removed, cleaned and put in contact with the steam, he highlighted his fantastic felt.

And this Strato-somethingorother. I think it was a factory second as the price tag say OOPS. Or is that O.P.S.?

That is an awesome take! I remember the old bucket hats they were selling back in the mid 70's orange tab.

Cool rockin' jean lid!

How in the heck are you guys getting these cool looking lids for such better low prices?

Man.............I need to do my homework from here on end. My pricing statures needs work.

Recent addition to the fold.
Borsalino Augusta Marocco, size 56, with a double stitched raw edge brim at 5,5cm and crown at 10cm. Specially made for JS Meuwsen, Amsterdam. The hat has a very nice hand, but is fairly stiff for a Borsalino.

For my sake, I hope you're lying about that price!

Another Borsalino came in today. I traded this one with Brent (@deadlyhandsome) for a Barbisio and a panama. The auction shots made it look black, which would have been fine with me, but it is in fact grey. So many thanks go out to Brent for getting this one for me.
There are two members on this lounge who thought they had cornered the market on Marque Grand Luxe Borsalinos (Bowen? Max?), but this one escaped their attention. And it's a velour!
Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe in Lupo (wolf) colour. Raw edge brim at a hair under 5,5cm and crown at 10cm at the pinch. Bob Roberts had/has a hat in Lupo colour, which I always liked, so I'm over the moon with this one.
