Okay, I think this beauty via Stefan is not just going to lie dormant in its box. I believe I can pull this one off.

Looks like it was made for you, Steve. Nice to see it in action. Take it for a sunny stroll in the park and let the eccentric Englishman turn some Danish heads.
 
Let's do another one.
Hückel Welheim Chevreau. Size 57 with the bound brim at 6,3cm and crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. This one has lost its feather (it was no more than a stalk when I found it). This must have been a good seller for Hückel because these turn up on a regular basis (Steve has several of them) in a few variations and finishes. This one is too wide for me (and I already have one of them) but it's too good a hat to not bring it along. View attachment 164682 View attachment 164683 View attachment 164684 View attachment 164685

An excellent group of Borsalino arrived last week. It was my spring sin :rolleyes:
All more or less used are hats produced quite recently. No one has indications of color, named with a number, neither the type of hat, but, fortunately, they do not have the golden mark on the bow
All are sized 59 cm. or 7 3/8 in US and they are, as always a bit tight, some are good for my head, others no. Let's say 50%:)
Grey Borsalino with lining

Qualità Superiore with contrasting ribbon and trimmed brim (5,5 cm) of the same color of the felt

Blue Borsalino without lining

Linea Seta with a black fantastic ribbon. Brim (6 cm) finished with a stitch. Very soft and light felt

Qualità Superiore, contrasting ribbon and brim (6 cm) under sewn. Very soft and light felt

I worked a morning of steam, sponge, brush and skin cleansers. Work satisfies me a lot

Not a sin at all, Daniele. But rather a work of mercy: this falls under both the corporal works of mercy numbers 4 (shelter the homeless) and number 6 (ransom the captive) and number 1 of the spiritual works of mercy (to instruct the ignorant - us, or me at least).

Stefan, I am aware of having been a good Samaritan for the four Borsalinos, but anyway I broke my vow to stay away from the hats and, knowing myself, I have already made other mistakes :rolleyes: I bought these Borsalino that belong to the non-lined and made with a soft felt, light and very suitable for mid-season. I have to confess they are better than I hoped and today I tried one and I felt it in agood way. I liked the colors first and then the way they are made when they were in my hands, before less:)

View attachment 165064 View attachment 165065 View attachment 165066 View attachment 165067 Hey!!! I got a NEW hat!!

From Mr. Fawcett, (sniffed approval by Miles) in a semi-furry steel gray, black ribbon...
Truth be told, I thought I wanted a bound brim, but the underwelt really rocks, and I couldn’t be happier!

Yes, the underwelt is awesome. Most of my custom hats are underwelt. Looks regal on the top and the feel of the welt between your fingers is addictive. I always find myself caressing it. It should keep your brim nice and straight.

I liked the hat when I saw it. When I read it was from Art, I knew why. I can't imagine any situation when you couldn't wear this hat. Dogs know a good hat at first sniff. I like the lower crown. Many of Art's hats are taller (the Vintage look). Congratulations, this one will become a collector's hat within your lifetime. :) ;)
