Very stately Steve
Excellent combination, Steve. Hat, coat and scarf. I leave the basting stitch in as well if it's there.

Royal Stetson Playboy
Lightweight black felt
5 inch crown as shaped
3/4 inch grosgrain mid ribbon
2 1/8 raw edge brim
Of the nine mystery hats I had coming all I knew was that one of them was a Playboy. So why not start here. A super dusty black Royal Stetson Playboy. I think it cleaned up rather nicely though. Did not find a manufacturing tag under the sweat only the reorder tag... but I would guess this one about 1950s vintage. Correct me if I’m wrong there. There is no edge stitching on the 2 1/8 raw brim but the profile definitely has that Playboy look. What is next from the mystery box?

Today a splendid sunny day and then, after three years sleeping a peaceful sleep, here it is the first of the lobbia Borsalino

This is one of the best hats I own For the first time I wear it because its time has come

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 1/2 even if inside it is labeled 7, in fact it is slightly wide.
View attachment 304341 The felt is a feather and super malleable, its color is "Airone" the ribbon is "Aligi" and the type of hat is "Ledasti". It comes from the large "Matthias Hutter" deposit in Merano and is probably one of the oldest among the remains that I have cataloged and evaluated
View attachment 304342 Maybe someone will think I should have worn it immediately, instead I kept it for its day which is today, however I will photograph it alone, for lovers of Borsalino hats.
The shape and ribbon are unique and was probably made in the 1920s.

That’s a great lid!
Thank you Steve.Super looking Playboy, Joe. Can't wait to see the next 8 out of the box.
G60sish stingy... and it was probably going to be one size too big. The moment I plunked it on my head... I realized a couple things. First
