Love the Castoro!

 

[alanfgag]

very nice... what is the brim width on that one?

The VS Custom is very smart. I especially like the stripe in the bow on the ribbon, makes it look very unique

Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe XXXXX Palladio

One of the prettiest felts I've touched but substantial number of light moth grazings, although they stayed away from the front half. More when better light.

Extra Long Oval. Hand-stitched brim binding. Nearly 2-3/8" sweatband is very tightly conformed so I can't lift it to see underneath.

Oohh.. I like that one, just the right proportions!

Thank you. The Castoro has a 2-11/16" brim. Medium weight smooth finish.

Bellissimo Castoro, Roberto! che meraviglia!

My first fedora

So here are a couple pics of my very first fedora. My wife bought this for me as a birthday present. As the Biltmore plant is closing down and moving to Texas, it has all its hats at some pretty big discounts (50-75% off). We ended up having to go back to resize, but I think she did a great job of picking out a hat that suits me well!

My wife also managed to pick up the very last "Guelph, Ontario, Canada" Biltmore hat box. As Guelph is my hometown and Biltmore has such a history in Guelph, this is a collector's item (at least to me) in and of itself!

Now she's got me hooked onto fedoras! We ended up going back (again!) and picking up a straw fedora while the outlet store is still open. I'll post up pics later (once I have some.)

Wow, that is a nice lid for sure, and you are lucky indeed to be able to pick up bargains before they close the doors there.

The color of that is really an eye catcher. Real nice.

Robert, felkor and Ale, my congrats to the new Hats. All of them beautiful.

That really is a great looking hat, the color contrast is well done for sure, and when you look at the top of the hat and see the "grain" so to speak of the felt, you can see how beautiful the felt really is. Makes me want one!
