    Very good question, Aureliano. I can sympathize with you on this. I prefer, if at all possible, to avoid replacing trimmings on vintage hats - but some hats just need to get refurbished and yours is one of 'em I think. Optimo has some great ribbon and I'll bet that after Graham fixes that hat...

    I agree. That artful bit of puckering in the felt where creases and dents are placed just makes it! Cool hat and photo, Michael.

    "Just an exhibition, not a competition - please no wagering." - David Letterman ---------------- That sure is an interesting one. What's up with that kink in the brim at the back!? Let me know if I can help -- I promise I wouldn't trim off a Mode Edge. :D

    Nope, sorry. I do keep eyes open for finds which may interest the gang here but it is really, really rare for decent vintage hats to surface in this area. All the more reason I'm so happy to have found these.

    your vintage Achilles heel

    I'm too skinny. Sure could use some meat in the shoulders and chest department to cut a better figure in clothes - and to be an easier fit.

    :offtopic: AGAIN: I asked Mario to put a link here where you can hear me play an impromptu Christmas Blues number with a live band. Only decent recording I've got. I searched around on TFL and didn't really see an appropriate thread so don't get mad at Mario, he's doin' me a favor so I...

    Those greys suit you well, pal. The Woodhouse is slick and that charcoal grey job from the other day is one very special Peschel. I can't get over that one. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

    Well done, marvelgoose! I too have a Chatham, in Caribou grey. You look outstanding in yours!

    Thanks again, folks. Yes, that Vagabond just took right to me. The brim doesn't even distort around in the back like most fedoras do on my lumpy head. Nicki noticed that and said, man, that's YOUR hat. I am really jazzed.

    You did great on that deal! I've had this one for years:

    Yes, it does. Probably a good winter hat. Real beefy, velvety felt but typically Borsalino as far as taking any shape you want.

    :offtopic: :) Wow, thanks for all the interest in hearing me play a number. I just tried three different Free Upload sites to upload an MP3 file and none of 'em worked. The file is fine - the sites don't function. GRRRR!... PM me with any advice and/or your actual email address and I can send...
