BORSALINO: black - looks almost unworn but in a Canadian travelling case. Size 58, stitched-in liner but no labels under sweatband. Wondering whether Cappelleria Chiesa (near Milan Cathedral) was an outlet for only religious wear and what era they were in business? (Over to you Daniele!)

Borsalino Punti 6 1/2. Albino (very light brown & dark brown hatband). Fine, soft, easily mouldable felt. Stitched-in liner, so presuming the 80 on the label refers to manufacture date.

Echter Borsalino, 5 1/2 inch crown open, brim 2 1/2 inches, size 6 Point, very good condition, date stamped May 18, 1929. The felt is very soft / light weight with a unique very wide ribbon and bow design. It has an fantastic over welt that doesn't allow snapping. The sweatband and silk liner (unique color) are of the highest quality. I was able to take a photo of the paper label which has a hand written Point size and the words "Fico" and "Lama". The Berlin store / hat company (Max Eckard) that sold it did not survive WWII. The box is from a different Berlin hat store (Wilhelm Gaedke) that also didn't survive WWII. This hat is from the same seller as the Point 5 1/2 and Point 6 1/2 Max Eckard "Sanboca" Echter Borsalinos. All three hats are very special / rare finds.

Thanks again! Here is a photo of the over welt stitching. I had to snap the brim down to photograph. As I mentioned it will not stay snapped. The angled stitching is visible with brim up which causes an unusual effect where the welt edge looks like it has a saw tooth cut.
