What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Carl Ceschka Wien, Back Bow, possibly 1920s. I think this might be what was called an Artist Hat / Künstlerhut based on the wide 3.5 inch brim which is unusual. The black Velour is of high quality with very high gloss. I found this Velour back in 2024.

Another fur hat, and like the previous French one, it's a "Misto" (mixed).

Borsalino size 6, or 7 3/8 in the US. No quality markings. Rare to see, probably made in 1982.

The felt is marked "Misto Magma" and the hatband is "Talpa" (Mole).
That was the first period of Borsalino's new management after the Borsalino heirs sold the company to two families from Asti, if I remember correctly.

The felt is fantastic, as is the hat's finish. The color is a mix of gray with subtle shades of light brown. The hatband matches the felt.

Thank you for your likes and appreciation, which I heartily reciprocate.
Wow! Another show-stopper, Daniele!!
