Here's a Borsalino XXXXX Leo. It was a mildewy, nasty mess when received, but well worth the hours of work I've put into it, including a re-block and some very careful work to bring the sweatband back. It's now bordering on being a mint-looking hat. It fits perfectly and is some of the nicest felt I've had - very similar to '40s Stetson 3X dress hat felt - soft and floppy. It is a nice taupe color and might be my favorite post-1940 hat ever. I didn't actually wear it today, but took it off the block after drying and bashed it temporarily for this shot:

Thanks Jimmy. I used everything I've learned on this forum to fix this one up: sweatband, ribbon, felt, liner - all a mess. The inspiration for bidding on it was all those fantastic XXXXX Borsos that you and others have posted in the last few months.

Nice Borso

Really nice looking hat Scott. I only wish I could find a nice Borso in my big size of 7 3/4.:D

From what you say of it it sounds much like my XXXXX:

It has a raw rather than bound edge but the felt feels almost otherworldy. It's a sensual thing to touch and wear :whistling lol lol lol

That should be the name of your band, Douglas! You deserve a nod of appreciation for posting those 'boys. I think we're all just used to seeing you in fantastic lids - we've come to expect it! :eusa_clap

They do sound similar - the liner designs, tags, etc., as well as the felt.
