Gray day with wind in the afternoon. Snow is expected up to the hills.
Today I opened a closet and this Charles Hatter came out of the pile.
Quite tight, not my size, but I can wear it, especially on cold days
The color of the felt is "Caffè" and the finish of the felt is "Talpa".
As already mentioned it is a Borsalino under a false name and you can see it from the excellent finishes.
I made a quick selection of hats that I haven't worn for a while and you'll see the rest these days.
Unfortunately I missed black hat day, I promise to make up for it with a week dedicated to black hats - One of my favourites.
I want to compliment you on all the hats you show off every day.

Stetson Imperial as it heats up to a balmy 31 Fahrenheits today.
VERY nice, HJ. Your matching of bands to hats is always first-rate.
MOST excellent choice, Daniele!

Thank you Mark! The toilet seems to like it too!
My latest AMAZING (to me, at least) score: a late 1950s Stetson, 7X, Clear Beaver, Boss of the Plains, with the original box.
3.5” brim, and the open crown is 5.5”, with a “skinny” grosgrain ribbon. The Miller Stockman files from 1957 through 1962 confirm that era’s BOP as being of these dimensions.
Some not-altogether-unattractive hand-smudging, showed that mine had once been shaped in a rather gentle cattleman’s crease, with a slight roll to the brim, and I’ve returned it to that shape for now. If this configuration was good enough for some pretty-well-to-do westerner when I was about 5 years old, it should be good enough for me, at least for now!
I have now stopped believing there are certain hats I will never acquire. There are surely many I may never acquire, but I’ve stopped believing their acquisition by me is an impossibility.
First photo is from the OFAS listing, the rest are by me.

Enjoying a chilly but sunny afternoon under one of the Champ Featherweights. Good weather to fire up a pipe.

Checking on a hat USPS has either lost or temporarily misplaced, or it’s simply December slow. Two weeks slow.
Buyer isn’t happy.
Then gotta buy some groceries and a burger.

An AdaMajestic in a brighter green than I thought it was going to be. The bottom picture looks discolored, but it's just the little bit of sun we have gotten lately.
Thank you, David!
Looks good, Rick. Peterson?
Thanks, Terry.
