An almost very new Barbisio from 2006. Extremely thin felt, very floppy. No brim binding. Stiched lining like in the good old days [emoji4].

Good to see them both getting some head-time, Steve. They look better on you than they ever did on me.

I meant to comment earlier Steve.
I think this is one of the nicest shades of darker grey i have seen. The wide ribbon compliments the hat so very well. The textural contrast between the velvety looking felt and sheen of the wide, matching ribbon really works.
This is a grand looking hat. Super Barbisio makes a fine hat. They remind me of Borsalino’s Marque Grand Luxe 5X, which is quite a hat.
Thanks for sharing.

Bandera 3x, a gift from Brent @deadlyhandsome. Before and after photos. I blocked it on a #52 block, and flanged the brim. Thank you Brent! This was a fun project.

I’m glad it turned out; it looks great. You really have a way with these westerns. I hope it wasn’t too big.

I love what you did with this one DD. I've become completely enthralled with this style of western. Ever since I saw your 70's Gun Club, I've been plotting on how I can acquire something that is just like it.

Thank you, it fits perfect. Since this hat is from Ft Worth, I can't help but wonder if they sourced their bodies from Byer Rolnick.

This one came in this week. A nice addition to the collection.
Borsalino cocisan in palladio colour. Bound brim at 6,5cm and crown 10cm at the center dent. Lightweight hat at 80 grams in the quality extra extra superiore. Might have been a coffin box hat at one point. It was listed as a woman's hat, but it's not.
Only the oilskin covering of the liner is torn, but other than that it's in excellent condition.

Stefan: Beautiful Borsalino! Good find. Being Borsalino, I know the felt is nice. The trim on this hat rocks.
