Another beautiful sunny day, full of commitments
Borsalino felt cone in night blue worked by Fleur to obtain a "lobbia" with a slightly unusual seal.
The size is a 59.5cm. and the felt is very light as the entire hat
This are the right days, here in North East Italy, to wear light felt...
The hat for a sunny Sunday
Borsalino Qualità Superiore completely unlined, size 60 cm. or 7 1/2 in US.
I wore it today because the felt is light, malleable and in tune with the changing color of the leaves
We took a long walk and the air warmed up in the middle of the day.
It goes...
When this arrived I was astonished. The felt was magnificient, the hat was a sort of bad experiment.
Fleur did the best to have it as a very "distinguished" Borsalino. It is succesfully and I like it
Thanks Alan for the encouragement too, but I doubt and some are still in the box.
The festival of beautiful and impossible too small hats will continue next week:)
Good morning to all loungers.
I have a problem with some sweatbands that have dried, although they are new old stock, over time and probably due to an inaccurate leather tanning. I used a German product consisting of jojoba and beeswax to soften them. On some it worked, on others the situation...
Another sunny day and a cobalt-enameled sky.
The mornings are cold then the temperature rises and until the afternoon the temperature is pleasant
The right day to wear this Tuscan hat, made in Montevarchi - Arezzo by "La Famigliare" some years ago.
I never thought I'd find a nice brown...
Thanks Marcel. My investment, after collecting dozens of ready-to-use hats, is to work on antique felts for new hats. Up to now the projects put in place have given good results with the indispensable contribution of Fluer. Also add a bit of luck in finding excellent quality felt cones or...
Last hat taken from a Borsalino felt and worked by Fleur
The hat was originally for women and very large in proportions, bought in the USA.
It size was 57 cm a 7 in US, but the brims were wide that it could be reblock into a 59 1/2 which is my measurement
What deeply attracted me was the...
A French hat, Flechet, making its debut today for the first time
Built many years ago by the French manufacturer and never finished, it came to me together with a lot that I bought from a Provençal street vendor a few years ago.
The hats arrived in Verona were from various French...
Thank you for your appreciation on yesterday's Borsalino / Fleur.
Today another hat arrived on sale from Tonak and refitted by Fleur.
The felt, very beautiful, had not been finished and had an uneven surface.
Appropriately treated, this "Antilope" surface has taken, which in the Czech...
Small note of apology for those who send me positive messages about hats worn or shown. I realize that I am often late with the answers or completely absent, I apologize and I undertake to be more present in contacts
What better day than October to give light and air to the new creation of...
This Borsalino "Vivax" was, together with another, branded and ready for use among the "experimental" purchased a few years ago
The ribbon was unwatchable and truly awful. The stylist had tried to make the hat a strange object and also the felt had suffered damage in the processing
Like the...

OK the photographs are "flipped" from perspective, but the phone was unknown, so the result is this before the pouring rain
Fortunately for me, this is the only hat from the lot found in Mantua that fits in my head
It is also the one that has the less information on its origin considering that...
This was a 30% formed felt cone from Borsalino
The shape of the crown was oval and indefinite, a white spot was on the edge of the felt. Nothing exceptional also because it had been very hardened with the stiff.
The midnight blue color along with a deep gray was what interested me most
