I must make amends and thank, only now, all those who kindly commented on the latest hats I wore.
I have not had time before!

To celebrate the arrival of the "medals container to display" of the Borsalino history I wore a simple Borsalino

It has been produced fairly recently and its color and form are very common in the production of Alessandria factory
The felt is medium to easily malleable density
It is part of my find in Milan.
As soon as possible I will make a report on what I received three weeks ago

Nice Monday to everyone!

Please don't make us wait too long, Daniele!

Good to see you, Wes. Glad you're on the mend.

Ken, I'd call that Champ a "desirable vintage hat" anytime, especially after your revitalization of it.

Knox OR clone today:

Recently picked up and restored Champ. I know this is not a desirable vintage hat or as nice a lid as most of other members really nice vintage hats. I don't know the age but is my first non-modern hat. The brim is 2.5" and 5" crown (open) so the dimensions were favorable and appears to be light weight. I picked this up at a local antique store and cleaned the felt (sweat?), made a custom ribbon (first attempt- will replace at a later time) and did some light shaping (all thanks to the enormous wealth of info on this forum- thanks everyone). Some before and after pics:

You did a great job resurrecting that Champ! Bravo

Hey everyone! Been a while! Over a week of being sick. Lord have mercy.
Tilden Dillinger today. Wearing brim up, not something I'm used to, but I'm kinda digging it with this hat...

Good to see you vertical and under a sweet hat. I dig it with the brim up.
Here's to good health!

Looks great Jim! I broke down and creased my CBCD this weekend and am very happy I did. I really like it. Glad it did not sell.

YES! Glad you did. Pics?

Hey all!
Lots of nice hats today, as always! Many thanks to everyone for the likes and nice words on my recent posts.
Today, The Tiger Special from the Keith Bros. has the job of trying to draw the focus away from my mug. I believe this one dates to tbe mid teens to the very early twenties.

It is a very special tiger indeed, with thin, dense felt and a wonderful hand. The few moth nibbles don't distract a bit.
Have a great day!

Dynamite distraction, Moe! May we see the innards, and a detailed shot across the bow, S.V.P.?

You look like a proper Irish gentleman there Michael.

Thanks Hatto. I should have picked up a proper Irish pint to sip out in the sun today. Been a long time since I could have done that.

I see you are ably defending your title as king of the hat/sweater combos. Bravo.

Michael

Echter Mayser "Superbe" , date stamped Sept. 17, 1952. This hat is beautifully made.

You can see the triple brim stitching in the photo above.

In Portugal - Rua da Rosa, 118, Bairro Alto ; A Fábrica dos Chapéus
In Brussels - Rue des Eperonniers, 15, 1000 Brussels ; L´Usine des Chapeaux

I see... I never go to Bairro Alto. "Wrong" side of Lisbon

All I see is tiny hats. A lot of tiny hats.
Time for big hats.
Yesterday to do some shores this dirty Resistol Diamond Horseshoe.

Today a stingy navy blue 3x Stetson.

I said big hats, not giant hats
