Max, that’s one of those hats that always gets my attention. Stunning! It’s simple, but everything is perfect.
Thank you, Doc!A beauty Max.
There is a bunch of 7 1/8 and 7 Willoughbies on eBay right now.
Thanks, for the link and info, Steve.
Very helpful.
I carefully looked behind the sweat and saw a reorder tag that gave up nothing useful and another tag that stated its color as Cubatan and under style said, C&F and then size.
Nothing else.
It’s a well made hat with superlative felt, so had to be made by a top flight company.

This hat was sewn back together last night using a liner, sweatband and
felt /hatband from 3 hats that were, individually, incomplete.
Nevertheless, they came together in this one hat to make one awesome fedora. The other 2 Dobbs had suffered too much moth damage to fix. View attachment 311409
The grosgrain bow was one of those rear bow creations except it was on the side. I wasn’t a fan of that look, so I flipped the ribbon to the “new” side and made a shark gill bow with 7 pleats.
The sweatband was a size 7 that made the stretch to 7 1/4, however, I wouldn’t recommend this procedure when not knowing exactly how and what to do. I’ve shared a successful way to do this using “as new” sweats in another thread.
Hope everyone stays warm and safe in the hard hit areas.
Weird and dangerous weather out there.
We merely got more very unneeded rain last night. It’s been so wet for so long that the ground has soured. Even with the heat on (when I can stand to run it) and a dehumidifier I am fighting moisture and mold.
Not good for hat collections. View attachment 311405 View attachment 311407
Nice trim. Looks great Steve. Stay warm. Oddly here in Florida it’s been downright hot. Amazing considering almost every other state is below freezing.Borsalino Lobbia, Qualitá Superiore.
It was actually above freezing point today.
Have a warm weekend folks. View attachment 311348

I often wonder if a gas bath would bring out more blue in this Mirtillo. Haven't been inclined to experiment so far. Maybe I'll just rename it blackberry.
