I already wanted a boater, so now i had the change to buy one. Not in 100% mint condition (picture no 5), but i took the change.
I think it suits me very well haha. Let the summer begin..... :)

Looks like you’ve been doing well of late! That’s a good haul. I’ve also had my eye out for a boater, so particularly envious of this one.

Castorino in brown from Belgium. I already have a homburg from this brand from great quality, so this one is a great one too.
Unfortunally no label inside.

Could be one those brands that was traded around between manufacturers. I have a Castorino branded hat that was made by Borsalino. Similar with Zenith and Brasiliano as brands: these pop up made by different manufacturers.

Congrats on the recent haul, Marcel. Some very nice finds. My favourite is the Boater with its lovely wide ribbon and Bon Ton Ivy sown sweatband. Late 20s early 30s I'd say.

Remember to post it in the Boater Faction thread.

Aha, so that's where it went! Good find, Marcel. Lupo is a nice, but not very consistent, colour on Borsalinos. Sometimes more grey, sometimes more brown.

Congratulations Marcel. A good bunch of hats. Lupo, Borsalino colour Is really erratic. I posted, one ten days ago, completely different. It seems Borsalino used that colour for some "wrong" batch called It "Lupo". Castorino brand disguise an Italian manufacturer as many others in Europe in those year.

Thanks Daniele! Do you know anything about the brand Courtois from Belgium perhaps?
