Dobb's Hankachif - the entire hat weighs just a hair under 90g. Very cool, very wearable hat. I've fixed this wind trolley problem once before, but I can't remember how I did it.

I tied a loop in this one near the button and looped it around that way. This one didn't have the loop. When I do that the button is secured, but it ends up pretty much exactly opposite the bow, instead of sitting on top of it.

Here is the latest installment featuring hats acquired during the Spring/Summer 2026 season—one of the hottest of my life.

It is hard to think about fur-felt hats in this heat, but this black Borsalino—spacious, wide-brimmed, and finished with a medium-nap fur felt—really spoke to me, despite the tacky lettering on the bow.

It is a European size 61 cm. I believe that corresponds to a US size 7 5/8, though Borsalino sizing is notoriously inconsistent regarding the label.

Curiously, it was sold by Herbert Johnson in London.

I also have a bowler hat from the UK: a Moores hat that arrived in perfect condition until today.

It had an extra black ribbon covering the original hatband and bow—likely worn for a funeral.
I had hoped the French lady who sold it to me as a size 60 was right, but it turns out to be a perfect 56.

The bowler is incredibly lightweight and lacks the rigidity found in other models. Sold in Paris

The crown is not very moldable, though I look forward to hearing what enthusiasts of this style think.
As always, neither hat is my size; if you are interested, please get in touch.

Tirard Ragondia (beaver) in color Crépscule. Very nice felt on this one. Good proportions. Size 5 1/2 fits me perfect. 1 little mothbite on the left side of the hat, but overall in a great condition. My guess a 50's hat. You never go wrong with french hats.

Cool finds, Daniele. Interesting bowler there; Moores was not particularly known for lightweight hats.

I think it could be a addiction to your collection of Moores ;-)
