Gillette Clothing Company hat arrived today.
I am impressed with the quality. Hat looks like it was rarely worn.
Granted it is a copy of a Stetson Open road but the price has me thrown off a little considering it is pure beaver.
The box is thinner cardboard and the strap is vinyl.
I was going to order a nice leather hatband for it, but I think 'll leave it alone.

That’s a winner! I like it just as it is but a ribbon swap could be nice too. Congratulations!

Sharp hat, but not an OR clone. Any info on the company?

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Nice hat! One of the many brands put out by Beaver/Langenberg.

A. Peschel Dinkelsbühl "Flexible" probably very late 1960s made specially made for Fur House Rudolf Becker Hats, Siegen i/W - Schirme. This is a brim up hat but less formal than a Homburg. Machine formed but the felt has a very soft hand and the overall workmanship is of high quality. This is a later hat but I was attracted to its great / classic form.

Very nice. The thin ribbon brim binding upbrim seemed to have had a very brief run in U.S. hats between 1955-1960. I like the look it gives to the more traditional and dressy homburg.

Alan, Thank you! I agree! This one has a softer brim but the thin brim binding forces the brim up. I like it.

Nice find, Steve. I quite like that style of hat. Offers a bit of a change between either homburg or fedora.

Lovely. A priest hat: don't see many of those around here on the lounge. Cool find.

Bombetta G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro built around the 20s of the last century

Qualità Finissima. In black felt. Size is 59 cm. or 7 3/8 US

The bowler is intact, no sign of moths or dents in the form

The construction is sublime and the finishes as well

Here you have the interior with white lining, the sweatband is without cracks, but a little fragile, so no picture of the paper label

There are traces of dirt on the lining, but no others faults

On the sweatband the golden G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro with the indications of the 1911 Torino prize

It was sold in Milano Grande Cappelleria - Fermo Cabella still existing

It needs some little works, but for the around 100 years it is still in perfect shape
PM if you are interested. The size is good for me and I'm between 59 and 60

That is a very nice piece of Borsalino history, Daniele. Pity it's not my size.

O wow. That is quite the find, Daniele. Great piece of history indeed.

Two recent additions for this thread. Let's start with this one: Echter Borsalino Export Qualität Debrosan in nero. Size 59. Bound brim at 6,5 cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. Lovely pliable felt with a nice soft hand. Borsalino hatmaking at its best with a nice mid size ribbon treatment.
Had this for about a week now and today it was time to take some pictures of it between the first signs of what may turn into fimbulvetr. Some droplets can be seen on the hat; had to hurry!

I have posted this one a few times in the WHAYWT thread, but not yet a full pictorial of the hat. Here goes.
The Duke hat lords hat in grey. Brim at 5cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. This may have some wool content in the mix even though the sweatband says "pure fur". English made hat and judging by its liner, size label and sweatband an early one. No label behind the sweatband, so hard to say who the maker was. First lords hat in grey I've seen so far.

I just received a new hat from Rick Walker at Phoenix Custom Hats. This is my second order from Rick, and I have been extremely pleased with both hats! This one is a natural beaver felt with navy ribbon. I think it will be a great casual hat to wear with a jean jacket or blue jeans and button-up shirt.







I'll post more over on the Phoenix thread for those who are interested. Y'all have a great weekend!
