Two hats finally arrived from California via Brent.

The Danish Customs and Excise decided to kidnap them, but I've now payed the ransom fee, and the hats are now safely in my possession [emoji4]

Brent posted them when they were originally up for sale, but now you can see how they look on my head. Don't blame the hats if you don't like the look [emoji23]

The first one is what I call a funky Borsalino. Very modern. The colour, style, and stitching on the crown appealed to me as soon as I saw it. It's not a high quality Borsa, but it is unusual and perfect for Jazz concerts. I just had to have it in my collection.

The brim works both up or down.

Thanks Brent.

The second hat from Brent is in a totally different league from the modern Borsalino.

A Knox Superfine Homburg. The quality of this hat speaks for itself. Its dimensions and proportions are, what I would call, so American. High crown, wide oval brim, eye catching semi wide ribbon, and large bow all add to the eye catching qualities of this Knox.

Flip it over and the inside of this Homburg just attest to the super nature of its workmanship. Even the logo of the Hat Shop I presume it was sold in stand out.

You got a lot of hat for your $12.50 back then. I'm presuming 1950s. Knox experts, please feel free to put me right.

All in all, I couldn't be happier.

Again, thanks Brent.

That Wild Man is really nice and I know you will wear it with pride!

Borsalino Gran-Lusso Superiore, fairly light weight with soft and maluable felt and bonded edge.
Turned this one into a telescope crown / Pork Pie.
In color "Argento" with "Urania" ribbon; no model name, just a form/model number "K2862" (following the tag description as discussed before).
I estimate late 50's to early 60's.
I have another Borsalino with the identical form/model number, with is actually very similiar to this one, except for different colors and the crown style I applied.

Nice additions, Steve. Usually Borsalino is the winner for me, but this time I have to hand it to the Knox.
