Thanks Mike and everyone tooLove the finish on this one. Such a rich color of brown.
I have a preference for short or medium-haired finishes hats, less for long-haired ones, as I like very much the velor finishes.
Borsalino has a predilection for the short-haired finishes, with bright reflections, perhaps because Mr. Giuseppe Borsalino has made his apprenticeship in France, a country where felts finished with short or medium-haired with shiny reflections have had a great diffusion and marked tradition working. As you can see on FL, the velour was more produced in central Europe.
My friend Steve (mayserwagener) has an immense and splendid collection of velours that are showed here with ease
I follow my preferences having an Italian market that often offers me this type of finish and I was lucky enough to detect a good number of French hats (Tirad, Flechet and Mossant) finished with short hair.
I also have a passion for mixed felt hats and antique wool hats, of which I have beautiful examples.
