Going to the bank to sign loan papers, gotta look like you don't need the money to get some! Perfect day for the Mallory XV. I figured shark's gills are appropriate for the bank.

That’s a sharp looking lid!

Thanks, Bill. The felt is Winchester’s beaver and the color is “Willow.” The ribbon is “Silverbelly.” Rick does such nice work.

Nice Borsa, Moe. I've got a "fuzzy" (I believe the correct term is Loden) Cervo Bantam Imperial in brown from the same source. Where would we be without Daniele?

Thanks Steve!
We would be less well-hatted without Daniele, that's for sure!

Oh my, £186 for a hat, even if it was a Borsalino, in 1980s England was indeed a lot of money. I can't imagine it being sold anywhere other than in or around London. This one being NOS obviously wasn't sold, but others surely were. Only the yuppie, nouveau riche of that time could afford to pay that price. Be interesting to hear where Daniele acquired it.

I did a price check a while back to see what the equivalent price in today's money would be (I used 1985 as the basis, did pounds then to now and converted to USD ) and it came out to over $500.

Love this color! Another super look D!


These are great images Justin. That hat ain't no slouch either!


Great to see you having to wear shades! Fantastic Strat.


Super cool finish John. Nice light color that shows it off nicely.


I do like those colors Brent. Really a great looking hat.


You look very patient Roger. Great light on that VS.

Thanks Mike!

Looks like you've got all the money, Red! Love the gills.

Nah. I took the hat's price tag off.

Is anyone else finding that some of the lost Photobucket images are available again?

Much cooler day in Melbourne. I decided to wear a flat cap purchased in Paris.

I thought I'd brighten up a dreary Friday with a nice old western.

Not only the dreary Friday...

Jackets? We don't need no steenkin' jackets! [emoji2]

Tonight was our community theater's awards night, we call it "Big Night". Wore the NW Hats Navy Longhair. Everyone wanted to pet it! The only picture I ended up with is a shot with one of my favorite actors. More probably will be coming up on Facebook. This is not my wife, but she approved.

I love the longhair. That’s quite the smile you’re wearing too.

I guess only someone with a lot of time on their hands to scour old threads would notice that.

$500 is the equivalent of 3,275 Danish Kroner, which funnily enough is what I paid for a brand new Borsalino in Copenhagen a couple of years ago. So £186 for a new Borsa back in the 80s must be about right. Thank goodness for the vintage market today. We wouldn't have a quarter of our hats without it.

Great picture Red! Great looking lid too, I don't know if I've seen the long hair up close before. I'll go dig in the NW thread.

Edit: found it, WOW!

Hey folks!
Today it's this fuzzy 1980's Borsalino that I got in NOS condition from our favorite hat enabler in Italy, Daniele.

With price tag. Wherever it was being sold, it wasn'"t a cheapie.

Have a great day!

Nice, Moe! Those fuzzy Borsalinos are great. I have the 2016 incarnation of that same hat. The only difference is the newer ones do not have the welted edge and stitching on the brim. They are excellent winter dress hats, and the more you wear them, the better they become. The going rate for these Borsalino Peluches run between $400 to $550 depending on where you shop and who you know, so the 30-year price calculation is right on the mark. I'll post a couple and show them to you. I need to take a little time and dig through the attic and pull out some the winter stuff.
