Looking good... young man.A young man's hat made by Knox and sold in Gimbels department store in NYC. I am feeling like a young man today on what would have been my parent's 74th wedding anniversary.

This week I will feature Echter Borsalino Hats which were made for the German Market. The hats will be from the late 1920s up to the 1950s.
Echter Borsalino "Caffè", Point 5 1/2, 3 inch brim, very good condition, probably early 1950s. The Caffè Brown Felt has a great finish. Very nice Form and I really like the Bow design.

The shape, leather, liner, and ribbon are really good. The felt, not so much I don't know what is in mine, but I doubt it's beaver. Maybe his full beaver hats are good. I just don't know.Nice, Max! I’m curious, how do you think the Penman compares to other similar hats? I’ve thought about ordering one but something has always stopped me.
OK, Brent! I looked it up. I bought it in the classifieds, and the seller said it is 100 percent beaver...Nice, Max! I’m curious, how do you think the Penman compares to other similar hats? I’ve thought about ordering one but something has always stopped me.

Thanks Max - I've been searching for one since I got here, although that hasn't been very long.
This sweat is barely hanging on in this one unfortunately - I really would love to have the actual sweatband restored but I don't know if it's possible, the leather still has some life but the reed is toast. I guess you cant complain on 100+ years old.
