Greetings:
If there were a modern hat i would buy, it would be this one, in this color and configuration. I can’t think of any others.
Very nice.

The lines of this one just screams pre-WWII. Looks like it has held up quite well. Like I said on FB, the tall straight crown more than makes up for a "lesser" brim width. All around cool old hat Bill.
Yes it very very nice. I have not fully committed myself to get rid of it. But I know I will very seldom wear it and for practical reasons I should let it go. An interesting thing about it is the color. The color name on the tag is the "N" word. In my mind I think that also dates the hat. I put it along the lines of Tom Sawyer, Uncle Tom's Cabin, etc...

Here are a few pictures of the labels. I have the middle letters of the "N" word blocked out in the picture but they are legible on the tag. And check out the union label. I love the "Be Just and Fear Not". It's a 7 1/8 UK which is a 7 1/4 US.

It's awesome all around Bill.

I love the deep brown color. It reminds me of one of my (much younger) Knoxes

This morning I returned to Italy in the choice of the hat

Albertini - Argo - Marca Registrata 1817

The hat seems to be a find encapsulated over time. It is new and never used and seems to arrive for the workmanship and the finishing touches from the 40s.

The felt (Feltro rasato) is very light and of a "light nut" color. There are no indications of the manufacturer about the color and type of hat. The size plate is in centimeters 59, French size 6 and UK size 7 1/4.

The Albertini hat factory, founded in 1817, was the first hat manufacturer to use the machinery of the then emerging modern industry. He has "exported" his activities to England by setting up a factory after WWII
