I bet. It has found a well deserved home, Stefan. I know Garrett is a very modest guy, but I hope he's smiling while smoking a well earned cigar for sending this one your way.

It is the "perfect" Borsalino of the thirties for color, felt finish and shape.Not exactly new, because it was posted here before (just not by me). @Garrett has been kind and generous enough to let this one make the journey home to Europe, for which I can't thank him enough.
Echter Borsalino. Nobelsca model in the colour misto Lodola. Not strictly a homburg but a soft felt hat with an overwelt curled brim. Anyone calling it a homburg anyway is immediately forgiven. A substantial hat with the brim at 6,5cm and the crown 11,5cm at the center dent. Quite lightweight for a hat of these proportions with just 117 grams on the scale. Fits me like a dream. Mid-twenties to mid-thirties is an educated guess.
E' perfetto!

Thanks, Daniele. I think so too!
Thanks, Bowen. Garrett does have some very enviable hats indeed. Glad this one was let go from the herd.
Very nice, Marcel. I had one of those white Wegener hats once. Oddest felt I've ever handled; didn't feel like furfelt at all. Brummel's made excellent hats. Don't see them all that often. Nice catch.

Any chance you could also provide a shot of the factory tag behind the sweat?

This hat started out as a bit of an oddity. It was a size 64 / 8 US. For some reason it fit my size 62 head perfectly it had a lot of taper, a relatively low crown, and a 3 1/2” brim. I sent it to VS to have it reblocked to a six inch open crown with minimal taper. I let Art et al chose the ribbon. It lost some brim width and it now measures 3 1/8 inches. It’s still a big soft green velour hat, but it’s much less of a novelty than It was before. The quality of the work done by VS was perfect, as per normal.
My favorite is with the bumpers raised just a bit to give it a little western flare.

New to me Royal Stetson. I think this one's from the 40s or 50s, judging from the liner. 2 3/8" brim, crown is a little better than 5". Pics in natural and indoor light....none of them really capture the color all that well.
