Thanks! Don't know wild man. I think i have a tin left from Mississippi River and Potlatch i recently also opened. Did you taste those 2 before?
Ive tied several of theirs... when I lived in Seattle, I attended a few of their get togethers. There were usually free samples available ( I took them up on it lol). Wildman is sort of a medium english with a fair bit of latakia

I also took a Resistol Quicksilver for him to look over. This one has a full curl done on it. This was a BIG hat and the bigger curl really does a good job of making the hat look less oversized. Its still a big hat but I like it lol ( couple of pre curl pics included here too) Tried a few different "loud" silver bands before I decided to go with the slightly more descrete leather band

Resistol fans dont worry, Im in process of replacing the Stetson button on the hatband with an old Mercury dine

A new vintage Borsalino arrived yesterday in a bag, completely squashed.
No steam at all, only a small brushing and here it is
Folco Borsalino 1.jpg

I bought it for the color and the finish of the felt.

"Folco" is a color that I love very much in the Borsalino range and the finish as well.
It is not antique, in fact it is quite recent and in excellent condition.
To be precise Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore, size 6 1/2 so 60 cm. in EU and 7 1/2 in US, sold in Bari in a shop that over time has supplied me with excellent hats that others had bought.
