i like the colors of that hat..sharp and winteresque..but dont you think a center dent would sharpen that hat even more?

Thanks, and no. You can't see it in the photo due to the lighting, but it is blocked with an optimo crown like a Panama.

You look great in that TVA! And with a belt and suspenders, your Grandpa seemed like a man who left nothing to chance. ;) Thanks for sharing that heirloom photo!

:eusa_clap That is uncanny! A trim on the sides of the brim and a switch on the ribbon...

What kind of felt is that Buckaroo made from again?

I just bought a hat with a liner logo that says 'Paris Tardan', a sweatband stamp that says the same, and another sweatband stamp that has a sweatband stamp that looks like a Borsalino stamp (in style), that also says Tardan, but also 'Casa Fundada en 1847' , along with a Mexico address. The two logos that have 'PARIS' in large letters, with 'Tardan' below in smaller font, also say 'Elegancia Distincion'.

So is this a Parisian company, or Mexican?

Thanks. I have a buddy in town who is a really excellent photographer. We've been travelling around the last few days taking pictures, and this was a bar-stop.

Wow Tone... did not know I took the shots in almost the same sitting.

The 'TVA' is 100% beaver.
The brim on the 'TVA' is 2 3\4 and the Adventurebilt CS is 2 5\8s.
The 'TVA' is a diamond crease and the 'CS' is a center dent.
