Hahaha. Been there.

Longhair Borsalino Alessandria from Sweden. Got a craving for Ikea's Swedish Meatballs.

From the seller's pictures, I thought it was blue. I like it in gray, but would have preferred blue.

I wonder what the inscription in blue ink says. Is it Swedish, or Italian? Italian, I think, would be Graffito, wouldn't it? IDK

Very nice, Max. Another winner. I like it in grey and blue coloured hats are very rare. I think it says M. Grafite, so Misto Grafite (which is fitting for a grey hat). We haven't seen a hat with that colour before. Early sixties for that one too.

Borsalino Extra Superiore in Bronzo. The ribbon has a slight color gradient in Aligi.
Nice hand, very maluable, with stitched brim.
More details in the "Borsalino Brotherhood".

Nice one, Georg. Your daughter knows how to pose a hat (you never had a chance after that of course).:)

My $15 Stetson 7XCB showed up. Turns out to be an Open Road. Needs a bath & block, but probably destined to be a beater.

If I’m finding the correct Mr. Netherton he was the Director of Meat Operations for a large grocery store chain in Michigan. Lived to be 95.
That looks better than beater! It may clean up nice. Nice hat regardless!

Pretty classy beater, Bob!
Nice catch!

Thanks Bowen and Ed! I'm mostly concerned with that ring around the hat (from another being stacked on it for years?). I am happy that the 7-1/2" size quote was truly 7-1/2 (and a long oval to boot).
