Ca. 1940s Sools sold Borsalino on a very cold and grey April day. We're still waiting for spring to arrive here in Denmark. It's way behind schedule.

It ought to be, Marcel, but you never really know here.

Where exactly are you visiting?

Between Kollund and Sonderhav.....Do you know that?

Just slightly north from the border with Germany.

I don't know that area in particular, but I lived in that region for some years back in the mid 90s.

Borchert Berlin W., date stamped August 6, 1952. I found this hat back in 2011 and I have always enjoyed wearing it. I am not sure who made this hat for Borchert. C.W. Borchert goes way back and they change locations after WWII.

Borchert Berlin W. carton that came with another hat from the same time period. I really like the Borchert Berlin W. logo.

Wonderful colour, shape, look to the felt, brim binding, plus ribbon and bow treatment, Steve.

I'm the lucky owner of a pre World War II C.W. Borchert hat box from their original address at Friedrich Strasse. Sadly, it didn't come with a hat inside.

Cool, they even have the “W” after Berlin (for “West”, I assume). I’m sure that was normal but I never thought about it as part of a formal address.

Great looking hat, your collection is fascinating!

New-to-me 1950s (I believe) Stetson 7X CB. Just in time for TAR Tuesday.

More on the 7X thread (which is worth reading if you haven’t done so!).

Berlin addresses are something akin to addresses in London, Nathan. They have the compass directions of north, south, east, and west, plus all directions inbetween.

I read this is a reference to “West Berlin” during the Cold War, but that’s an assumption. I had an address in Berlin at one time, but it was so long ago that I can’t even remember if it had a direction included.

Nathan, if you had put that on for the first time and NOT been smitten, we'd be worried about your mental health!

Sublime, Joe. I love the royal blue headband bow, the pin, of course, and you wearing the perfect t-shirt to go with that shade. Kudos!!

Shudde Bros. OR 25–once again employing a thin ribbon as travel hat, this time to CA for spring break.

Thank you Mark. That rear seam bow catches my eye every time look inside this hat.
