Thanks Brent. $36.00 and that includes shipping so I am happy with it. Cowboy hats from Texas have been good "gambles" for me as you suggested.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
Perfect.I like these Guatemalan beads with this hat.

Thank you Jim.
Sort of a light Western weight? That brim looks supple.
$36?
I know how you must feel, Daniele. The hat looks marvelous and this sentiment has made me buy more than one black velour hat even though I rarely wear them. There's something very attractive to them. I must now force myself to not look at these pictures before I succumb again.I still feel guilty to buy two hats absolutely not of my size, but they were too beautiful to leave them

J&B was the French producer of this hat in black velour. The hatter, was, based on my experience, the best in France in those years

From my experience with J&B hats, I have some others made before the WWII was made in the twenty

I haven’t the experince of Steve about velour, neither I can’t decipher who made it, but this is fantastic. Soft and pliable, very dense and rich

The inside is without patch or lining, there was somenthing I’m sure, but not today.
Under the sweatband there are two paper labels: the above and the size tag 4 1/2 or 56 cm.
The golden and embossed stamps on the sweatband are there:

It was used, but for the its age in a perfect shape, no moths, no flaws.

I can tell you that Daniele is depressed for the size of this hat and considers those who can wear it very lucky
Thanks, gentlemen. It is quite rare to find two in one haul. One is going in the for sale pile for sure and the other one I'm going to have compare with the other two Borsalino mirtillo hats I have.
Nice catch, Scott. Tall and wide. Looks good on you.
$36! That's a steal, Scott. That's a lot of nice hat for very little money. Congrats.
Hi guys...went to visit my brother-in-law who lives in another state so we don't see him that much. He saw I was wearing a hat and said he had some hats he doesn't use that much and would I be interested. I said sure. In a few minutes about fifteen hat boxes appeared. Borsos, Stetsons, Supernaturals. All size 7. I wear 7 1/8 to 7 1/4.
I ended up with a small handful anyway..
Thank you Steve.
Nice!
