Hat and Rehat

This was yesterday's new hat. The sweat is strong and supple, but very faded. If I squint and hold my tongue just right I can make out Milan, but otherwise know nothing about this one, except that the paisley hatband sucked me in.
Smaller brim than I am looking for, but I like the hat.

That was a test. No tools when in blue screen.
Anyway, here are pics;

(I believe the little guy in the background is roughly the same vintage as the hat ---- feels like it, anyway)

For some reason I'm always attracted to the brown tone-on-tones. That is a nice one!

Picked this one up this week. A tad small on me and already have one like this, so it's going again.
Borsalino Ardilla in Mogano colour. Size 56 with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown 11 cm at the center dent. The felt is fantastic: a real petting hat. Someone decided to perforate the sweatband for some reason, but that's a minor flaw. Dates from 1979.

Guess it’s a good thing I only paid $9.67. I have a hard time resisting the cool things I grew up with from the good ole days. I’ll see what some steam & magic can do. However I don’t think I posses as much magic as the wizard Desert Dog does in restoring hats.

Thanks, Randy. Mogano is one of the better brown colours by Borsalino, with a nice rich reddish undertone (what do I know: I'm colourblind:)).
Well crap....no wonder you don’t like green!!
They just mess up all your grays!!
Ps: in spite...you still do one heck of a job with colors Stefan!!
