    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Looks really small in that pic, right? No it's 2 5/8. I think it's my giant noggin that makes it look so small

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Nice Fruno! Aren't those thin ribbon Borso's sweet. So thin and light. I think that logo, inside tag and the corrugated thingy place it post WW2 up into the sixty's. Similar to the three I have, I usually say 50's. Others may be able to narrow it down further

    Borsalino calls it palladio. It is grey but does have a hint of warm grey in certain light

    Monster Bash Videos ... show us how you bash!!

    You are so right, Ole. Once I figured this out I bought multiple hat blocks and modified them to mimic the shape as close as I could to specific hat block shapes. In particular I didn't want to change the shape and character of a hat like a Stratoliner or Playboy. Part of what makes these hats...

    WISH LIST

    That says it, right there. One of my first vintage hats was a Penney's from the 60's, it didn't seem much better than modern so I didn't buy any other vintage hats for a long time. Then I landed a Dobbs Twenty and that was it. I still dabble in modern hats from time to time, hoping they...

    WISH LIST

    First, I'm happy to say that I do own a few hats I once pined for. That being said, there are a few bucket list hats if it doesn't seem too greedy (and even if it does); Vita Felt anything. A Strat, Playboy or Three Way would be especially nice Hoyt Demon Hanover or Louis Cobb Stetson 100 Open...

    Some great hats today, everyone! Akubra R.M. Williams RM Subtle differences with the mid brown Campdraft, different block, flatter flange and cowboy hat stiff. Not sure if it's worth doing a comparison, they are very similar. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it like I would any thin ribbon...

    Great New Stetson. Whoa $360 for a Stetson BENCHMARK. Must be somthing special! Wait...WHAT?

    Ouch, I forgot I bought one of those too. The shantung version is not good. The panama might be worth it, didn't get that version, wish I had

    Great New Stetson. Whoa $360 for a Stetson BENCHMARK. Must be somthing special! Wait...WHAT?

    For the people who might spend this much on a hat and appreciate beaver felt (us) this seems like a big miss. I've got one more color in the Akubra Camp Drafts, I think I'll get that instead Having bought three of the new open crown Stetson's I feel I've given them a chance. Found them wanting...

    6 7/8 100% Beaver Hat

    The classifieds here need a set price. Better to go with Ebay or a similar auction site and see what people will bid it up to. You can probably do better than $5 however, it is not of a style, manufacture, vintage or size that is likely to fetch big money
