are all I brought back
The Brown is great color--I am 6'3 so nice brim for me
(BTW always check for pollen before you sit you felt hat down to photo)
I just found this out with my brand new hat a few minutes ago--pollen is coating the South yellow
I brushed off nicely

The straw...
my new Borsalino is so nice--In Rome I sported a Brown Country Gentlemen which I crushed to pack
but the Borsalino I got there looks so nice--lady at store said sure crush the right way and she sorta lost me in translation

I got carried away
Borsalino Store at Piazza Del Papolo Rome
I love the brown classic fedora --but (being in Alabama) I got carried away and got a Panama
I had a cheaper one (Dobbs) that seesm shellacked in comparison (paper)
