Turkish Blue Drivers Cap, I picked up at a hat shop in Nişantaşi, Istanbul. I'm shocked how well made and inexpensive at the same time. If they did online, I'd hip you to their website. But they are strictly a brick & mortar store.
This is an Atatürk lapel pin I inherited from my dear Turkish Father-in-law. I first wore it in a navy blue polo shirt collar. But in this blue modern Borsalino hat, I can wear it more often, it looks alot better than the gold Borsalino logo, and I think it really works, what do you guys think?
Oh that's no problem then. Indentations might even disappear with steam and a well placed thumb, };^))

That's an Atatürk lapel pin I attached to the knot. First I removed the Gold logo using @deadlyhandsome directions. Then that Atatürk pin was just...

Lock & Co Sandown Trilby....
Not much love around here for Lock...and yes they do out source many of their hats. BUT, to their Specifications. This one was made by Isesa in Spain with Fepsa Fur.
What can I say?...Eight years of this and she still looks like this:
I hope my new Borsalino will...
Lol!!! Thanks Daniele for making me laugh! According to the movies, James has saved the World a few times...But I think it will take more than him to save British Hatmaking. ...Just kidding...I don't want to insite the wrath of any British hatmakers or fans there of....lol

Hello All...
I need to post an addendum to my last post here. I may have misquoted someone at Lock & co. I have a sincere affection for their hats and I don't want to leave this topic this way.
I said their Men's fur felt fedoras were being made by Isesa in Spain now. Well I'm not...
