We all need al little luck sometimes. Wonderful colour and great shape to it. Good that you went for it!VS lightly used navy blue. I was afraid it would be too big based on the seller’s description, but it fits like it was made for me.
I did a minor re-block and the open crown was a full six inches. The bound brim is 2 5/8 inches wide.

The liners are beautiful. The liner in the 5X is a champagne color while the one in the 3X is ivory. I'll get better pics in the coming days after working with them a bit.

The second of a trio of imperfects
Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 1/2 or 7 1/2 US. True size
The felt had some traces of moths, so Fleur of Penumbra Hat minimize them
Felt color is "Ghiaccio" with a short hair finish and the ribbon is contrasting. The small invasion of red on the felt is given by the color of the red bricks of the house.
The proportions are as follow: overwelted brim with a single seam are at 6 cm. the crown is 11 cm. high
Made in the historical Borsalino factory in 1977 it is in excellent conditions
The restoration work has succeeded very well and this makes me happy because I really like the hat and among the many Borsalino in the collection this is a rare color.
Oh my!! In my noggin size too...Sweet indeed!

Bowen, with my old calloused hands & a bit of neuropathy I have to get up in the range of 40's, 50's, 7X's & 100's before I can feel much difference in the hand of the felt. I'm more like the 1890's guy than the 2019 hipster.

The third component of the imperfect trio, together with the Borsalino "Rutenio" and the "Ghiaccio".
Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 1/2 or 7 1/2 US
This arrived in excellent condition, but the ribbon and, especially the bow, were useless. I had no indication of why.
Borsalino "Misto Volga" with "Asfalto" ribbon put back on its original shape by Fleur to Penumbra Hat with the replacement of the ribbon with a perfect copy of the original in "Asfalto" the hat has become perfect.
The interior is perfect and the felt too. It is a mixing of light and deep greys, very malleable
The measurements of "M. Volga" are: overwelted brim at 5 cm. Crown at 11 cm. for another Borsalino of the great "Misto" family

I hear you Jack!
I always said i was born a hundred years too late.
That quote made me laugh!
Reminds me of about 10 treads around here i look at every so often just to make me feel better about myself.
I practice tolerance and understanding (patience) by not replying. But every now and then i just gotta throw out a “who does your breathing for you” type post.
My sympathies for the old hands deal. I’m right there with you in more ways than one.
Thanks for your contributions to the western styles etc. threads Jack. The place would be a lot flatter without you.

Don't be such a curmudgeon B [emoji6]. We Europeans do our own breathing and have our own style. Some of us do so like your western style, too.
Some of us would also like an OR etc. or two. [emoji4]

Thanks Bowen...I think. But I reserve the right to change my mind in the light of a new day!

Yes! It is my first. I am glad I waited until I found a full beaver one.
