Stefan founded it on the North European market and Fleur of Penumbra Hats clean and restored this beauty.
A huge thanks for you all, I really appreciate your likes and kind words

It's as if that Borsalino was made, found, restored and cleaned for you Daniele. I believe it has found it's rightful home.

Hey all!
This Keith Brothers "The Tiger Special" sees the sun today. It is my oldest hat, from about 1915, give or take a couple years. There are more detailed pics of it in the Keith Brothers Hats and Caps thread that I took when it arrived. The original oh-so-carefully rumpled almost-backbow is shown (it was crumbling into dust), as well as the sticker (also crumbled in the repair process) and the stamp of the sweatband manufacturer is visible too.
Trying a center dent look on it.

Nice John. Is that a back/side bow?

Great old museum piece John. I've always enjoyed that unusual bow position.

Nice but I especially like that ribbon treatment.

I recently ordered a custom hat from Hufvud in Sweden. Mikael was a pleasure to deal with and the hat was exactly what I was expecting. The felt has a great feel and the colour and quality of finish are exactly what Mikael had explained to me. It's always a risk ordering a custom hat from somewhere as far away from Australia as Sweden - but this was a risk worth taking.

I like that style. Cool hat, John. I leaves me wondering though if that almost backbow was always intended that way

Today, Friday is the time for a Borsalino from the 70s
etfwiw.jpg

There are no indications on the quality because the logo on the lining is quite rare to see

The color is "Folco" and the year of manufacture 1976

Felt is a marvellous, soft and velvety with a short fur finish
dd18cx.jpg

The color is a dense choccolate and the lustre finish is called melusine

On the sweatband there are six X which are the "touches" of the manufacturer's marketing

Have a nice Friday. Thanks for the likes on the Borsalino "Debrosan"
Next week more hats, but not Borsalino ;)
