Borsalino

Today's surprise.

Color is Sphinx and Olive Branch. Amazing soft finish--shortest possible near smooth velour. More tomorrrow in the BB Thread.

Wow rlk.

+1. Great color names, and great style. I really like that one "up".

I'm finding a growing affection for the flat upturned brim with an even binding line. Beautiful homburg, Buler... prewar, do you think? RLK - can't wait to see more of that Borsalino. The presentation in photo 2 really speaks to me... for whatever that's worth :eusa_clap

Snapped with the dents is my vote.

Robert, you're killing me... :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Some condition issues, but great character and felt. High crown wide brim--deep diamond crease. End of 30's likely. From Neiman-Marcus, Dallas.

That one is a very nice combination of dimensions and color. Actually a nice combination of those things and history too, because it would be fun to wear a 30s hat outside, if it were the right hat, which that one exemplifies.

Its been said before but I have to say it myself: Wow!

This is possibly the perfect hat.

Oh, there are more of them - and they all seem to end up in Robert's ever-growing collection....!

Sears Sable Finish

Estate sale this morning.

Must have been pretty DeLuxe for Sears, Felted edge and smooth finish. Brim is dense substantial felt while the crown is very thin and light. 2-1/4" brim. Formease is 1941 Byer-Rolnick trademark, so made by Resistol. A full-size 7-3/8 as is typical for Resistol.

[DRB]

[cybergentleman]

[bolthead]

I can't wait to play with it some more in the morning.

That's a heck of a trick, bolt. You had me searching for where I said it, only to find that it was Rodkins.

and now, another bizarre smiley
this one and the rabbi really puzzle me

Went antiquing Saturday (see some of my other posts too) and got this Champ, among other things...

 

[rlk]

Nice! Were the hat and shoes a set?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Got 'em from the same vendor, along with some snazzy '40s ties!

 

[Young fogey]

Looks great on you.

Thanks!
