Exclusive Hats of Chicago, IL. "Custom Made Hats for the Elite." A very fortuitous eBay find. This one has some mothing problems, mostly brim grazing; however, one real good chomp, but it's on the back of the crown, so...IDGAF.

Mainly because it's just such a nice hat. Dense felt with a deep, rich dark brown color and velvety feel. Shapes easily and has great lines. The deep plum/eggplant color of the ribbon just subtly sets it off, too. I have a feeling this one is in for some head time.

You belonged to the hat elite already, Jim. So it's only fitting that you got that one. Nice.

View attachment 201917 View attachment 201918 View attachment 201919 About to take the plunge in a resistol “fedora” however I don’t have a block tag to prove its a black gold line (20x) I’ve neve heard of a black gold fedora

I have these images but not the block tag in the sweatband

mist kinda cheap but I don’t want to buy it if it’s been redone up to look like a black gold


I would like to see the rest of the sweatband as well as any labels behind the sweatband.

Great felt and ribbon combo on that one, Jim. Looks like a super find.

Well, this Pietro Fratelli hat turned out to easily have the worst felt of my entire collection, and that's counting the "The Untouchables Collection" 100% wool hat that I bought as a gag.
Terrible!

Daniele warned me about buying it, but I didn't listen. Fortunately, it was a cheap eBay find. Ivano found it in a box with other old hats that will arrive today with my brother-in-law Juan Carlos, and I hope the others, that are from ofher brands, are better than this one.
I don't blame Ivano, though. He said he didn't know about hats from the beginning.
I just know the other hats will be good[emoji1696].
