Thank you Mondo for the kind words. It is a nice hat. Borsalinos can be difficult to date and i am but a neophyte in that regard. Perhaps others more expert can weigh in on the age. Good luck in your hunt for a Borsa. With patience you will land some good ones.
3 days 3 Daltons. Not many people can do that. sharpVery slow day here in the thread, as was yesterday.
Oh well, happy Hump Day.
Olive green Dalton, one of my favorite "go to" lids.

I always think of the Turf Clubs as stingy brims. Guess I haven't seen an older one before. Very sharp

Another great parade. Love the brim edge on the Palladio. That panama is sweet as well. Interesting brand. Looking good.

Thanks Stefan. I figured these cool mornings were an opportunity to cycle through a few ORs again. Sadly, the cool mornings appear to be at an end.
No damage done.
I think this is a later model, maybe early '60s.

TAR Thursday!
This Dalton is one of my oldest hats. These things are nigh impossible to date, but I have a completely speculative theory about the liner tip logos. The ones with "World's Finest," like this one and the blue Waverly, are pre WWII. They changed to "America's Finest" during the war, to capture the patriotic sentiment. It doesn't seem they were sold much, if at all, outside the States, though Steve (@mayserwegener) found a liner tip dye block in a European purchase of those things a couple years ago. We know the rights to the name were sold in 1953, and few later examples of this brand have been seen beyond that era (a few stingy late 50s-early 60s hats that don't appear to be from the original factory).

Looking TERRIFIC Dan!!! I love that lid, my friend, but respectfully disagree about summer not being great for hat-wearing. That one is perfect protection from problems, according to the dermatologists!Hello to everyone, as you know or you know now summer is not the best season to wear hats
Panama Hats Direct patron with the middle line on the crown.
A very interesting panama for my taste and for my will not to spend a lot of money for a straw hat
Summer is still fresh here, so I can stand it, but some heat is coming from North Africa and the weekend will be "boiled"
Have a nice day and I really can't mention every good hat I saw in the last week, so compliments to everyone!
