A stunning photo and a STUNNING boater! I like the edge of the brim. It's different and extremely classy.Wearing a nice old Dobbs boater that I wore a year ago today.
Great hat! I love the suit!!! The lapels are phenomenal! Is that a vintage piece?
Looking tops again today Bob! I love the color of that hat.
Great work at resurrecting this beauty!! I'm very very glad to hear it works for you now!I picked up this Parabuntal several weeks ago and was bummed that it was too small. I immediately saw a counterfeit Stetson size tag that was attached with duct tape. Did Stetson ever market these? Maybe... And then I noticed there was duct tape around the entire circumference of the hat, under the satin sweatband. Well, today I was looking at it again. I thought the sweat was attached to the hat with the duct tape, but upon closer examination I saw the reeded sweat was sewn to the hat body. The duct tape is so old that the adhesive is brittle and just cracks off, so I started removing the tape... and then it finally dawned on me: this was some guy's barnyard version of foam spacer tabs because the hat was too big for him! Hope upon hope, as I removed all the tape and doubled over pieces in some spots.... woohoo! It does fit me now! Very stoked on this one, now.
As it so happens, my Borslino parabuntal is too big. It was marketed as a size 7-1/2, but it's also marked 61 cm, which I believe is the correct size.
Keep cool all of youse out their in the heat waves!

Thank you, sir! It's an early 70s suit, I believe.
Haha, Hint received!
I don't own a Borsalino and interestingly enough my birthday is coming up... seems like a perfect time to strike lol. Are you looking to sell the Borsalino Doug?
Thank you very much Michael!
Thank you sir. It took me a little while to get it down but it's fun to do. Though I am a bit of a perfectionist and am constantly fidgeting with the darn thing lol.
I just happened to see it posted online the other day and by some freak chance happened to remember this morning. Thank you very much for the kind words
You're very welcome. It truly looks fantastic. Those lapels are massive and make an awesome statement. I love it
