Borsalino Idorsca goes out to inspect the fresh snow this morning.

Have a good Saturday,
Michael

There you go, see? Found a new peak already!

Long haired today.

I am not wearing a long hair because I am bald, rather I find the finish very different.

This 30's Stetson Royal DeLuxe is has a very soft, luxurious, deep finish. It is very much like a super deep velour. Not velvet, but deep velour. Amazingly shape-able even though it's a thick felt. It has a finish that reminds me of hats that have very little stiffener added to he felt.

The pic of the top of the hat is just cool. It truly is a hat that looks better after brushing.

Best, Eric -

Of the highest standard, Eric. You spoil us.

Y'know, this Gannon guy seems to have a future as a hatter.

Questo cappello mi piace molto ed è perfetto con il tuo volto scazzato (the last word has many meanings in English, you choose what you think could be the best)

Hey all!
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi on a warm sunny Saturday. Wearing this green Motsch Fils.

Hope everyone had happy holidays.
Have a great day!

Nice shape and proportions. Saw an auction recently for a Motsch that was imported from England. Made me wonder if all their hats were made elsewhere. This one was on auction:

You made me laugh out loud, Daniele. I was supposed to be smirking, like Charlie. Guess I need to work on that!

Nice Guerra. I like the finish.

Good to see it in action. I like the coat too!

You may be correct. Here they are pictured together. MacLachlan on the left and Richman Bros on the right.

I agree with Daniele: the Richman certainly has a lot going for it.

 

[steur]

Indeed he is. Aside from a few Italian hats and an English bowler I didn't have any other European hats in my small collection. Stefan was kind enough to find three for me and a fourth for my son, all different makers. Great source and an even better guy.

Thanks for the kind words, Jonathan. Always a pleasure to find a good home for a homeless hat!

Very nice, Jim. Love this combination: classic.

One of my stereo amplifiers appears to be wearing it a few minutes ago, my Stetson Homburg.

Tube amplifiers and homburgs: doesn't get any cooler than that!

 

[Blare]

Both of them cool looking hats, Joe. Nice!

Thanks Stefan!

Fairly cold Sunday in the morning, then temperate and sunny. Walk in the Verona center packed with tourists

Today a little-known brand accompanied me: Guerra 1855, size is 61 cm so a 7 5/8 in US. A little bit roomy
View attachment 204008
I don't have many examples of this brand in my collection, only a series of medium-haired hats
View attachment 204009
No paper label with name and color, a glued lining and average in the finishes, but the felt is portentous, finished with heather medium fur
Soft, malleable and with excellent quality color and ribbon, no steam to shape it, only fingers
View attachment 204012
It is a forty years old Italian hat with proportions modeled on the standard of those days

Have a nice Sunday
Thanks a lot for your likes and appreciation

Beautiful felt on that one Daniele

Best,
Joe

Knox twenty yesterday. Seemed to have missed the sun altogether today. Is that wha daylight savings means?

 

[Steve1857]

A thin ribboned lords hat is a rarity by any standard, Steve. Good to see it out and about (well, sort of).

Thanks, Stefan. It is quite special imo [emoji4]

That is some gorgeous felt on that one, Daniele. Really standout.

I'm short of oxygen up here.

Tube amplifiers and homburgs: doesn't get any cooler than that!

I know you've been around homburgs lately, Stefan. So I'm guessing it's been awhile since you've been around tube amps. I think the proper phrase would be Doesn't get any hotter than that. Ha ha.

Nice. I think my Knox Twenty rebuild will be a success. I'm wearing the fit into it right now. Nice hats.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael. It's true: haven't seen a tube amplifier in ages.

Well Steve, nice hat, but the amplifier got my 100% attention[emoji1]

Sorry, I'm a guitar player and 90% of my amplifiers are vintage tubes, so I have hundreds of those tubes in my basement. I mostly use Russian made.

We're too young to have seen one, Stefan [emoji6]
