A '40s Pilgrim today. A cheap hat in its day, but it has held up well.

Thank you Cristina, you are too kind. Blurry, badly lit indoors pictures do a great job at hiding how tired I actually look You look great in your big hat as ever! Did you sew the three hats onto your top or are they brooches?

Thank you Celia! They are 3d printed plastic, a brooch backing glued after printing.

Same hat again, and beautiful blouse by Spanish designer (and friend as it happens) Paco Peralta. For those handy with a sewing machine, Vogue patterns sells the pattern: https://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1526

Interesting collar design. I love that hat, it is so "in your face" styling. It makes a statement with every ensemble.

Great looking Pilgrim. It is nice to see some sunshine in your usually snowy pictures of late.

Robert -- can you detail your "scrubbing" technique? Naptha, water, sponges, wire brushes, etc? Perhaps another thread would be better.

Bob, There's a dedicated thread for cleaning with Naptha. Lots of info there. My technique was derived from what I read others did.
What I do: Plastic bucket filled with a gallon of white gas ( Naptha, Coleman camp fuel) Submerge hat. Agitate every half hour for about two hours. If the hat has stains, scrub with a toothbrush. Most will come out. Remove from bath and let sun dry for a few hours. Always wear gloves and work in a well ventilated area. Keep away from flame...etc.

Looks great in the sun, Roger. No brim binding on yours? Did you trim the brim down a little?

Penman Everyman Casablanca again today. The granite felt just seems to go with everything!

Thanks for the compliments on my Pilgrim. I found this old newspaper ad from 1947 that might be my hat. It has the too-perfect bash that would indicate it was pre-blocked, as the ad says. I steamed the pinches closer to match my personal preference. Not a bad hat for $2.89.

Here's a link I topped up yesterday after Charlie linked it for me:

Sunny and mellow day

Borsalino Trionfo sold in Sorrento - Italy some years ago

Slightly used. I bought convincted it was tootight, it is a tad wide. Borsalino sizes are always a puzzle!

Felt medium weight.

Color is "Noce" Fazarsca 39. It seems made during the fifties.

This is the interior with the embossed leather

Buon Giovedì a tutti!
Thanks for the likes on yesterday "Tanaro" youngest brother of today Borsalino

Good looking,Daniele.
