Long story short, I found a gentleman on FB Marketplace who indicated he had numerous hats he’d found in storage while cleaning out his late father’s home. He had seven, and I bought three, of which this is the absolute triumph of my lot. It's a Borsalino Featherweight; the color is Opale, and the model is Celesca. It is immaculate, and as light as a feather. Edited to correct the vintage: far more knowledgeable people are indicating 60s to 70s. I’ve always wanted a vintage Borsalino, and 50 to 60 years old is "vintage" enough to make me delighted!
Naturally, I'll be wearing this today, even if I never leave the house!

You've uncovered some nice hat caches recently, but this one really takes the cake. Very sharp, Mark!
