Looks great, Marcel. I'd say that time frame was about right.
Stefan is great at finding and selling hats on to his fellow Loungers. He's also very generous in his tips.

I don’t know about this…I’ve been waiting for a size 62cm pre-war Borsalino western with a 4” brim for years now from @steur and still nothing. He trips over them all the time but he just won’t send one my way. What’s up with that?

Oh, well, if we're putting in requests now...

Recent find.
Crosby and Company bowler. Size 7 1/2 (60) with the brim at 5,5cm and the crown at about 12,5cm, which is slightly lower than usual. Pre-war, made for Kaufman. Great hand to the felt. A few loose stitches, but in great shape.

Cool sweat stamp

This Borsalino has a troubled history. It arrived with others a few years ago, I was ensnared by a beautiful lobbia, also of the same brand and I bought a small lot.

The lobbia was almost in order, the others, all Borsalino of various sizes, seemed to have been stored under a steamroller. Together, with the others, it left to be put together and I almost forgot about it.

Now it's back and it was a great surprise.

Borsalino Qualità Superiore size 58 which, unlike the usual, fits well to my size of 59.5.
The color is a number as well as the model, it is therefore a relatively modern Borsalino sold in Munich - Germany.

What immediately stands out about this Borsalino is the beautiful "Panna" felt with the slightly contrasting trimmings, the low ribbon and its shape.

The internal measurements are 20x16 centimeters. It looks great now!
The measurements of this beauty are: brims, hemmed with the same color of the ribbon, at 7 cm., the ribbon is 1 cm and the crown at the lowest point is 11 cm.

It is a silent find surfaced in these days

Great mid-ribbon addition, Marcel!

Thanks my friend.

Pristine Royal Stetson Stratoliner. Was advertised as a much larger size than what arrived. The shipping cost was more than the price of the hat, so it isn't a big loss and my 9 year old daughter now has a new Strat

 

[steur]

Thanks to a tip from Stefan @steur i bought this black Barbisio. It's in a very great condition. According to the seller it's from the 60's. Who knows?
I'm very pleased with it..... View attachment 370932 View attachment 370933 View attachment 370934 View attachment 370935 View attachment 370936 View attachment 370937 View attachment 370938 View attachment 370939 View attachment 370940 View attachment 370941

Good to see a nice hat saved. I think the cellophane coverings in the liners disappeared by the mid-sixties. So could be early sixties or even late fifties.

I use them for storing 4 or 5 of my other hats in!

Beautiful. Even though it's modern it still has the classic look. Nice colour as well.

Can't beat that for the money for sure. Quite early as well, likely late forties or early fifties. Great find.

Not many 9 year olds can say that and it will put her on the right track for sure. So, still a great find, Dave.

For the series "Beautiful and impossible" this is the chapter one"

In the second wave of hats from Mantua and surroundings, not as high as the first, but very interesting, there are candidates for the category mentioned above.

Giuseppe Cambiaghi - Monza size 54 or 3 1/2 France scale and 6 3/4in the USA.

Probably built in the early years of the last century as per details and interior.

The felt is almost exclusively woven in wool for a final effect of heather with blue and gray tones.

The shape is imposing and the bow is on the back, the brims are over-stitched.

It arrived in good condition and, luckily for us collectors, it remained on the shelves of some shops near Mantua.

In the lining there is the mark of Giuseppe Cambiaghi that mentions the "Grand Prix" won and the newest is from 1902, so that is an indication of a possible construction.


The measurements are as follows: the brims are 7cm, the ribbon, still with the basting, is 5cm and the crown, at the lowest point, is 12cm.

On the one hand I am happy to have found it, on the other I regret it is so small, but alas there are others that go to reinforce the series of "Beautiful and impossible"

Nice to see a pristine oilskin liner on this one. There is just something about the quality of this era.

Thanks Michael.
The Borsalino will worth the work to be a wearable hat.
The Cambiaghi is one of the most ancient and interesting hat made in Italy by a not well know producer I have in my collection

It pains me to see such a gorgeous felt in a size that's even too small for me, but what can you do?
