What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Daniele Tanto]

The cold has eased slightly, but it feels like a winter from days gone by, when cold days were constant for three months.

Amid clear skies and a low sun, I'll show you another recent Borsalino.

Borsalino Qualità Superiore size 6, or 7 3/8 in the US. No indication of the color or type of hat.

The felt is certainly a "misto" called Borsalino color no. 202 at the time they produced it.
The felt is slightly bristly and malleable to a certain extent. It's clearly a remake of pre-war models.

The finishing touches are magnificent, especially the stitching on the brim edges.
A truly beautiful hat, sitting unsold on the shelves of Matthias Hutter in Merano.

Have a good start to the week, everyone, and thank you for your kind words.

What do their "beaters" go for? $550? $600?

If they are listed as “Oprimo” they go for $260 for the pair with a box.

Played with a new cast iron bread loaf pan last night ( hot bread and cool weather is a good combination. Today I got the fire pit fired up, a big ol Peterson pip lit up, and a Beaver Hats Open Roadish thing on the head

Winning on all counts!

Thanks Mark! Someone got a lot of use out of them. Hope I can continue to give them a good amount of head time.
