Out for some supplies now that the wife is home. I've been living on handfuls of Pringles and McDonalds while she was at her conference. Here is a hat I got from Ant while I was AWOL. Borsalino Featherweight with the most amazing felt EVER!!! A little snug, like most of my Borsalinos but this one is really special. Early to mid 1950s.

Classic looking Borsalino; can't beat that, Mike. Excellent.

Today, a Borsalino Visone (mink)... transition label, either shortly before or shortly after WWII.

Always gray on Verona and a few drops of rain here and there

To be in the same color as the sky, I pulled this elegant French out of the boxes

The proportions are those of the sixties. Very accurate finishes for a classy product
Here the paper label with color and type. Nuance (color) is "Etna"

Very nice, Daniele. Made by Fléchet? The labels look the same.

Fantastic attire Michael!
Thanks Daniele. That is a lovely French hat you are wearing today. Great color to it.

Excellent as always, Michael. There's a windcord on that hat; just saying...:)
Thanks Stefan. That one was tight enough and has a small enough brim that it was safe.

I think a warm round of applause would be in order, Michael.
Thank you, Stefan. It's a comfortable outfit to wear.

Yesterday and today the hat I've been waiting for a little while now.
Dobbs Hanover Square in blue. Love it to bits.

Okay, since you are intent on ruining that hat by loving it to "bits", you need to send it over here ASAP so I can cherish it. Ha ha. That is one fine hat.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. No direct risk for the Dobbs; there's plenty of competition to keep three of my heads occupied.
