Yep. See below. Fantastic soft, velvety felt - and an amazing anisotropic effect. The colors change hue with the direction of the lighting.

It looks slightly different now, as I gave it a new crease just today.

The hat is from 1969, but there is - especially with the new crease - a slight hint of the 1930's in it, particulary with the tall crown (5" creased). I really love it.

I like the new crease! There's just something about these long-hair Borsos ...

The crown is not as tall as I had hoped and it has a slight taper however it is nice felt and it will wear well. Iv'e checked everywhere for a tag but none says the maker.

Stopped and saw Indycop and family last Sunday on my way back from St Augustine. He gave me three hats that weren't getting any use from him...
One is the Camptown Metropolitan that was rebuilt by Mike at Buckaroo Hatters...another is the tawney Fed (both these last have shorter brims) and a Panacool Rodeo King straw in the classic OR style...love 'em all!
Today I wore the Met to work and to the chemo shop...
