Love the subdued color combo on that hat, Daniele. Very sharp!

Ready for the rain, but it did not come

Charles Hatter color "Bismuto"
View attachment 192777
All details in Charles Hatter are "Borsalinesque", name of the felt color, ribbon and so on
View attachment 192781
The only difference is the stiffness of the felt and since in Italy the English hats have always been judged stiff... the game is done

Borsalino has created parallel brands in various periods of its life, this is one of these, very evident in all details

I just have to greet you and thank you for your likes.
I also express my appreciation for the hats showed these days, some are fabulous:)

Man, Your scenery is killing me !!

Just visited Maui this Summer, must be a great place to live.

Don’t take it for granted......

Thanks! I don’t take much for granted these days. I may visit Maui in November however, my local beach is pretty nice and only 5 minutes away, just down the hill. [emoji1783]

Without “pinches on the crown?” I’m not sure what you meant there.

I have been thinking about deepening the crease. I think a deeper crease would give it some needed definition, but I don’t want to lose crown height. I’m still thinking.
While you are thinking about the shape of your new Agnoulita, I send you two explanatory photos of what pinching is on the crown, at least as they are called in Italy.

I believe that the splendid Agnoulita would have an excellent shape by making a "clean cut" in the center of the crown, as in this homburg.
Try and then judge ;)

Okay. We also call them pinches, but I just didn’t think that you could have meant that. I definitely prefer the crown with with pinches. It’s sort of western dress hat and the austere look of the crown without pinches isn’t to my personal liking at all. I do like a simple gutter crease and no pinches for a dress homburg, but to me this Agnoulita needs the pinches. Just a matter of personal taste.

Today, gray uniform in the sky, and some cold breeze begins to be felt day and night.

I carry around one of the last arrivals, it was spring when this "lobbia" made before the Second World War was made in Alessandria and then sent to Bulgaria to be sold in the Simon Zlateff shop

Borsalino "Trionfo" size 6 1/2 or 7 1/2 US

The color of the felt is "Mirtillo"and the type is "Mula"

The jacket was from my father, he proudly wore it as a motor enthusiast he could show off the "Cavallino Rampante"
Have a nice day and thanks for your likes!

How is that one Brent? I've read conflicting reports about BB hats but the few I have seen personally, the hats and felt have been very good quality. My BB OR Clone tends toward western weight but it a nice smooth felt and I can reshape the crown to some extent, too.
