Merry Saturday.

Today's hat is a LEGITIMATELY accidental purchase (this moron screwed up a "buy now" on Goodwill. Don't ask...). I tried to weasel out of it, but they weren't buying. So... $25 after shipping. But, I do not wear a size 7.

In any event... I found this (what I reckon to be late '50s or early' 60s [haven't done the research on tag, liner tip, etc. yet]) Royal DeLuxe in the box I received Wednesday. Still has the original price tag.

After a gentle sponging of a stain that I originally feared was a felt tear and a night undergoing my patented MATTASTIC[emoji767] stretching process, it is a very comfortable fit. Kind of nifty...

Marvelous hats out there today. Have a great day.
I kind of like this hat. Cool superwide ribbon and a nice color. You lucked out Matt. Hope you are successful in the sizing efforts. Have a relaxing Saturday!

@Chamuco that Gannon color is insane!!

@moehawk your collection grows in quantity and in quality! That Borsa almost needs some manscaping!

@SpeedRcrX you are ever ready with your Eddie on your heady. A reach, but it's early here. Fantastic look, as usual!

@EstherWeis the background, the hat. the pose... all PERFECT!!
Thanks my friend !!!

Thanks Mike.

Just joined my wife for lunch at her work. First comment after "Hi dear", "I don't like that hat. It's too short." The boy chimed in that the ribbon is too wide.

I think that I will wear it at them lots, just for spite. [emoji6]

Nature whalloped us today. Time to put on my Fed IV and help my granddaughter make snowballs.

Venerdì con il sole a Verona
Borsalino from the fifties restored with craftmanship in BSHW - USA

Bob provided new ribbon with Borsalino bow and vintage Borsalino lining and new sweatband

"Dattero" is the color and the rest is vanished

The Borsalino arrived in bad conditions with some issues and the pinches very used

Bob shaped it as a Italian Borsalino in the forties I was not convinced firstly, then one day I had it on the head, an old man look at me and said "this is a true hat, surely a Borsalino, it is fantastic". All said in our vernacular idioms of Verona
This was one of the best compliment I had in the last months

So here it is to catch the midday sun

Thanks for your kind words on Borsalino ice-blue long hair

Very great Borsalino, Daniele



My pick for inauguration day, the black cherry Gannon.

Thats a beautiful hat Daniele !!!

That made me sit up and pay attention Daniele! Very nice!

That is an absolute gem Daniele. The refurb was perfection and it looks fantastic now. One of my favorites of all time.
A huge thanks to you!

Michael the Borsalino arrived with this shape, more or less.
My risk was to put it in restauration because of its poor conditions and the number of Borsalino I have that, IMO, need work, but I like the color "Dattero" so much
The result, thanks to Bob, is really nice;) very old fashioned

Grazie Daniele !!!
Prego e buona giornata!

Michael I elect homburg hat as a prince in your wardrobe!
I believe that some others of them give you even more elegant and eccentric as befits men who dare:)
Thanks Daniele. I do need to add more homburgs to my collection.

Great hat and shoes today Michael! Love those Biltmore homburgs!

Thanks D. The only homburgs I have are Biltmore, this one and two milan straw ones. All purchased on the same day at Goodwill and all came originally from the same store in Virginia. The shoes are some later model made in India Florsheims.

Thanks,
Michael
