Two hat day. The 2020 debut of the Peters Bros. Milan "Tankersley #2.". This one was originally owned by Moonie, but I talked him out of it.

Day 23 of 31 Hat Parade: Sunny morning in Oregon, unusual for Memorial Day, usually gray and rainy. Patty and I took a nature walk at the Talking Waters park in Albany. One of the finest weaves I have come across, Mike Miller turned this one into something special. Classified as a Semi-Colado (open weave on crown) Cuenca Straw in Grade 8. Grading of straws from Ecuador is varied, this one is just superb though. Tight weave on the brim and a unique pattern on the crown. Air conditioning...

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 Export Qualität "Cescosca" "Palladio", date stamped 3/19/59. The "Palladio" Felt color is fantastic. As usual very pliable Felt with great hand. The Form is very nice as you can see from the photos. As mentioned previously Export Qualität designation was added in the mid 1950s.
