What hat are you waiting for today?

[Zombie_61]

Don't worry: it's a fairly harmless affliction (provided you have enough storage space).

And enough money.

And enough money.

Hats cost money? I hadn't noticed.
My wife now, yeah, she's noticed.

And enough money.

Ditto a Borsalino for me is a waaaaaaaaay out of budget, and the few vintage borsalino´s that ive found in Argentina are smaller than my size.

Probably 60s or slightly newer based on the liner seam alone

Borsalino has of this vintage are still very high quality hats ... nothing like the 60s and 70s American made hats

Oh, thats a terrible hat. I'm so sorry you bought that. In fact, I feel so bad for you I'd be willing to take it off your hands. Maybe you can package it up with that St. Regis I still regret missing out on?

Really though, that is a great hat. It looks all business so I get what you mean by pairing it with suits. Very very nice.

You need have NO regrets on the minty homburg......ended up being a 7 1/2 .....NOT the 7 5/8 advertised.....clearly id'd on the blocking tags.....sweat was so dry I injured it looking behind......everything was there including the $12.50 price tag. It was a little shrunken as well (mainly due to the dry sweat) and is currently unwearable unless I was a 7 3/8....... I am working to rejuvenate the sweat ( a lengthy process) but may end up replacing it. Otherwise the hat is as clean and nice as they come....and does date from the 40's.......so....a awesome project hat.

You know I was just messing with you. Still, I do feel better now. I'm between 7 5/8 and 7 3/4 so it never would have worked.

Congrats on that sharp Borsalino. I think that one will turn out to be sized right. Looking forward to seeing photos.

I know......I was actually contemplating a pm to let you in on the results of that St Regis........I know how we all think and how we do have those "little twinges" of regret... I still think about YOUR grey......I was the other buyer asking questions and ready to pull the trigger on that one. BUT, I am glad you got it as it seems to have instilled a pasion for those hats and you are really enjoying it.
Best,

You have really surprised me with the 60's dating....I was thinking much, much newer (of course I really do know nothing of these hats) ......nice surprise....looks in absolutely great shape......and your comments on Borso quality of the period........you now have me really, really looking forward to getting this in my hands......be nice to "feel the felt" as Champ Hats used to say......
