I thought this great thread could use a bump. So here is a very nice longhair Borsalino in a blue colour (cobalto). This is a modern borsalino, lightweight, soft like butter and it takes any form you desire. What more can you ask for? Size 57, 6 cm brim with underwelt edge. This is not an understated hat.

Just so the bump isn't for just one hat, here's another borsalino longhair. This one is a longhair Borsalino in a brown colour (melasso). This one had such nice felt you'd take it on your lap to pet it (or am I the only one doing that?). I had to let it go because it was way too large for me. Size 61, 5,5 cm brim with overwelt edge. I'll post these in the borsalino thread as well. borsalino ardilla melasso_1.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_2.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_3.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_4.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_5.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_6.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_7.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_8.jpg borsalino ardilla melasso_9.jpg

My Bacon Hatters of Chicago, by way of West Virginia. I replaced the braided band with a thin western ribbon and gave it a cattleman crease. I think the black ribbon accentuates the charcoal color of the hat.

Great hat! I agree that the black ribbon lightens the felt and offers great contrast. As always, your hat shaping skills are second to none.

I was finger swiping down the page and stoped just on the first hat pic, no text visible, and i said damn that’s a nice lookin hat!! I thought look at the lay of the long felt and it “shimmers”! No s**t!!

See, it just needed the right owner!
That’s pretty damn cool!!

Thanks Bowen, this is a really fun hat. It will get a lot of wear this winter. I was looking at a Resistol that I liked, but not my size. I got to do my own version, just needed the right hat.

Super cool! That ribbon and crease really give this one a personality.

I'll be bringing this one out of hibernation later as the snow flies, but it deserves to be here. Borsalino Gorascu "Angora" in Misto Grigio. This hat had a hidden O.P.S. price tag that I only recently found, dating it to the early 1950s. This hat needs some stiffener put back into it. The floppyness is endearing, but a little unruly. My first longhair, and my favorite.

I love it, Mike. Sometimes a floppy hat is just perfect.

That is nice, such a beautiful sheen on the felt.
