This one can be added to the collection thanks to Mark @M Hatman (thanks, Mark!).
Portis New Slant tissue weight in a very nice brown/taupe colour. Size 56 (American 7) with the bound brim at a good 6,5cm and the crown 10cm at the front pinch. I tried to discover what the "new slant" on this hat would be. It came creased with a strong rake front to back, which was not my cup of tea. It took it to open crown and steamed to to see where it would go and this is where I ended up. Not much of a slant to be seen, but a lovely hat anyway. It has lost its liner (there are some glue marks inside under the sweat). The ribbon is what makes the hat stand out.
Apparently a tissue weighs 100 grams (who knew?).
