An old Borsalino I purchased and gave to my dad many years ago. It's a little small for me but with a gentle stretch I can wear it. From the Zlateff Bulgarian collection that is purported to have been made in the 1930s and kept in storage during WWII. Not sure this is true, but it is an earlier hat. A very fine velour that could be a cousin to another velour Columbo I purchased more recently.

1900s velour
prized example for me, due to it being sold in nevada
Quite a prize Justin. Super fluffy!

Echt Velour "Quality Velour Seal" probably mid to late 1930s and a recent arrival.
Love that color!

Gannon in Powder Blue. Again

If you only had one hat...this would be just right. Keep showing it to us.

Such a legacy hat Alan. Wear it with honor.
