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.

2715 W. 63rd Street appears to now be a place that can help you with your Hat Acquisition Syndrome.

Also a Dalton, which I'll post more of in the Dalton thread.

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

Both very nice hats: this one and the Lion Hats one. The hat police would like a word about you wearing a size 7 hat though.

I swear that seatband is as whole as when it left the factory, officer! [emoji27]

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.

Next time you're in Chicago, pop over and see if they'll let you look around the back room.

Dunlap Supreme. I didn't know they had such excellent felt. Wow!

I ended up gifting it to Alisa. It looks too small on me.

Wow, that is an excellent looking homburg, Max. Wonderful proportions and the liner is grand.

I'll say! Looks to be in great condition as well, Michael. Nice catch.

And this Borsalino. I think it says Toscano and Idornca on the label.

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

Thanks Stefan. It's in very nice shape except for two small bug excavations. I'm happy with it.

Thanks,

I’d say so! Maybe I should get back on the bike.

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].
