Thank youGreat haul
Buying in bulk; very satisfying, Marcel. Great haul of hats. I think I like the heather one best.And last but not least the fifth one:

That’s a great colour.I try not to buy as many hats these days (I tried before and failed). but sometimes you just need to.
GL homburg hat in Aubergine. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. The crown patch suggests it's branded LG instead of GL, but it stands for Galleries Lafayette, the department store that is still in business today. Somehow I think this hat could have been made by Mossant. I bought it for the colour, which is one I've never seen before on a homburg (or a fedora for that matter).

Thank you, Gary. Being much closer to France we use the French words for these; don't even have a Dutch translation for them.That’s a great colour.
The Americans on here will correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall that although they call the vegetable an eggplant, the colour is still called aubergine.
I’ve been living in Japan, where American English rules supreme for so long now that the words “eggplant“ and “zucchini” come into my head first, but I take a perverse pleasure in calling them aubergines and courgettes, knowing that no one will understand me.
The color is generally eggplant in the US. Aubergine would be putting on airs…Thank you, Gary. Being much closer to France we use the French words for these; don't even have a Dutch translation for them.

The look of the felt in this third one reminds me a little of the Stetson Ultralight Stratoliner, that I am eyeing for Fall. I like the look. They usually don't have it in my size though.Third one:
Late 50's, early 60's Borsalino
That’s a great find!So I received my Mr Disney fifteen hat today, only gave it a brushing so far but it looks in great condition with a little light staining on the liner, brim binding and a couple of dark dots on the underside of the brim.
It’s a very dense felt, 2 7/8” brim with a 3/4”binding, 1 3/4” ribbon with wind string. OC is about 6” and 143g in weight. The thing that actually intrigues me most is the name “Ahwahnee” which is the native of Yosemite (also a luxury hotel at Yosemite and a tiny place in California).
Cheers
