Is the ribbon and binding purplish, Doug? What a beautiful hat.

My new to me DARK green (a LOT lighter in the photo.....almost black in person....) Borsalino "Continental", mostly Homburg (mostly, because it has the uneven ribbon treatment, narrow under the brim, wide on top) or what ever you want to call it.....Has an awesome dark green liner too!!!!

And where's the pic of the liner, Mark? Tease.

Back to the deep freeze, but that's not going to keep me from some Mardi Gras celebration tonight.

Not the weather for an unlined lightweight, but the Frunoliner get the pick anyway.

What a color combo, Jim!

...What would Sensei Bowen say?

My attempt at humor didn't even draw a "bookmark" like. My apology to Bowen, & I'll delete the post.

No, the ribbon is a medium brown and the felt is pecan.

Another gem from a legendary discovery!

Alan, Thanks!

Hope you're OK, Bowen. Or is it Willow duty that is affecting you?

You're supposed to already have immunity to what she catches, Bowen.

That Biltmore is a superb hat, I love it. There's a Biltmore straw amongst my summer hats that I particularly like because of it's versatility to match mostly any warm weather wear. Sadly, the front end of the brim keeps curling under. If I leave a weight on the curl it comes back into shape, but doesn't stay there, any tips or suggestions that might help?

That's a nice looking straw. My experience with working on straws is next to zero. But if I had to guess, and if it were mine, I would try reflanging the brim and then put some stiffener on it. But that's just a guess on my part. You could probably contact Art Fawcett or Tom Gomez for much better advice than I could give on straws. It's a nice looking straw you have, though.

Today....an O.P.S. tagged Knox Twenty.
The Custom Edge is impeccable.
The difference between the Knox Twenty and Dobbs Forty is mostly academic. Both wonderful. Imho
Be well. Bowen

Nice chapeau. I'm about to receive my first K-20!

'Like' as much for the MG as the hat!

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Let me say thank you for your kindness and likes on the lobbia Borsalino

Today, Herring Festival in the northern districts of Verona, no way to go, it is impossible to park

A. Meer manufactured by Thibet in France, possibly in the thirties or forties of the last century

Felt is a mixture of fur and wool, thick and dense

The features are those of the European hats of those years. No lining only in the brand of the headwear on the bottom of the crown. Thibet is stamped on the sweatband, very dry now.

It comes from my lucky find of Strasbourg.
Have a nice day!

Thanks Scotty, I will pass your kind compliment onto my talented friend who made the MG display stand. I don't want to threadjack this thread but I have a plethora of MG artefacts that friends and others have done. Keep an eye on the vintage car thread.
