Borsalino Homburg...I own 2. This one is different in that the size tag is gold (I've seen red and even green) and the crown appears to show a more stately appearance. Looking to clean this beaut up nicely. Yet, anticipation is making me wait....

A mystery Resistol -- I know it's 7-3/8 and that a fellow Lounger will assist in the logistics. All I had was this one picture (fuzzy as it was combined with several other things in an auction lot).
For a $4.00 winning bid it's worth a shot that the 7-3/8 is a LO and I might be able to wear it.

I suspect that this NOS thin ribbon was made by Biltmore for Henry the Hatter.

Your size?

No idea Jim. Questions to the auction house to show a size tag or check for a re-order sticker only resulted in a couple of interior pics (of just the model name and the store) being updated on the auction site with a statement that the hat was a size 8. So if that is 1/8 (therefore 7-1/8), a true size 8 or an 8" measurement, who knows? Guess I will when it (they actually) arrive -- hoping for the 8" size. Figured it was worth the risk for $22.50 for all five.

Also waiting for my wife to go pick up this hat can tomorrow (purchased at an on-line-only auction that was nearby). I know this "Parker 5x" hat won't fit (7-1/8), but I was really just after that hat can as I need more storage options for my big-brim westerns.
