Super hat, Randall.

Beautiful parade of hats, carissimo Stefan.
Valetini seems to me a Monza product even though I have never met one in my life with this brand

Thanks you, Daniele. Not from Monza, but a German made one.

Stefan, Thanks! I really under dressed this hat.

Great series of hats from you. They are all really fantastic and worn with style!

Thank you, Steve. Much appreciated.

Molto bello Alan, even if I do not like so much white hat, even if today I wore one
The Italians contradictions

<smile> - Thank you Daniele...I like the idea of a while hat more than I find a good occasion to wear one.

Alan, Thank you! I wasn't sure the three hats would ever arrive. The seller was not in good health and very erratic but some how the hats made it. I remember your Borsalino - Black Sheep custom project. As usual Bob did fantastic work. It looks like a pre WWII Borsalino! Super!

Thanks Steve. The project was a prototype for Garrett - I don't think he would mind me sharing the final version. The prototype I purchased from him does have a pre-war look, though the hat that was used is a later Borsalino - 1960s-1970s, I would guess.

Echter Borsalino "Bismuto" "Sanboca" date stamped May 17, 1929. The Berlin store Max Eckard that sold the hat did not survive WWII. This hat is in mint condition and one of three Echter Borsalinos from my April 2015 find.

The carton the hat was in is from a Berlin hat store Philipp Neubauer Berlin that survived WWII but not the locations listed.

Cork spacers that were in the hats. I failed to note which hats they were associated with.

Wow, 1929, and that kind of condition. And super history.

A prototype for a custom project - later era Borsalino adapted by Black Sheep Hat Works.

Wow Alan, I need my sunglasses on for that one.....

Beautiful !

 

[mayserwegener]

Wow, 1929, and that kind of condition. And super history.

Tim, Thank you! There is actually a second one that is in about the same condition.

Alan, Thank you for the clarification. It's really great work!

One from today and, ironically the same hat, one from two years ago today.

Speechless! That just exudes what I look for in a vintage hat.

My wife turns seventy next Tuesday. Actually, she's eighteen but 52 years have got in the way. When I asked if there was anything she wanted she said: "Yes, you can get me a Baileys."
Now we have rocked our socks off at The Crazy Horse Saloon in Nashville, but somehow I just don't see her wearing a Bailey hat, there again I thought that an XBox was an old carton folded up, as in an ex-box. Do you think that she might mean this?

Yessir, you got it Ross. Different jacket.

 

[BobHufford]

...one from two years ago today.

I understand why your daughter is mad at you still. I'm a bit sad when I loose one whisker.

 

[Michael A]

Nice colours and the gills are special. Very cool hat, Marcel.



Pretty Portis, Michael. Killing it again.


Fabulous, Eric.


That is a commanding hat, Héctor. Quite the crown on that one.


I'll share the prize with you, Steve

Thanks Stefan. I got a few more photos of the Portis yesterday after the sun came out.

Yeah man, she really still is. I am too. Not sure wth came over me that day.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Yeah man, she really still is. I am too. Not sure wth came over me that day.

I’d guess a pair of scissors, razor.

Nice hat today...and two years earlier.
Glad you didn’t take a pair of scissors to it, ya know, when whatever came over you...that day.

 

[Hagwood]

Been at home sick with the Flu, so no hat pics for me, but I’m enjoying seeing everyone else's wonderful hats the last few days.
