That is a great looking Borsalino. Sorry I don't have an age estimate but it's uniquely beautiful no matter the vintage.
===========
I couldn't resist this 7X so now it's on the way to me...
I tip-toe in here every now and then to admire the footwear.
Lately I've really enjoyed the posts by the gentlemen but I have to say I was really floored by Crazy Daisy's little collection of everything from sweet to downright sinful. ;)
Jimmy, that hat must hail from the day when $10 would buy a nice three-piece suit!! No kiddin'. That is a whole lotta' fine lid for that kind of scratch. We can't begin to relate to that economy of scale from that far in the past.
About the cleaning; Optimo is THE place for vintage TLC but...
Man, that hat sure does suit you!
Mine is soooo 'broken in', shall we say, that I don't think of it in terms of being stylish at all. It's just my hiking hat and purely utilitarian like a pair of work gloves. But your 'Roo looks stylish as hell on you, pal. I had never considered how well...
Tryin' to embarrass me huh?! Impossible! :D
I did my count by scrutinizing my Photobucket records (link below). Looks like I'm right around 100. There's more than that in evidence in the Photobucket list but at least one deteriorated straw had to be tossed, a couple nice hats have gone to...
Thanks, CRH!
BTW it's not the T&J I was referring to but rather a vintage Stetson Sovereign with Mode Edge. Really big brim for me but I think I'll warm up to it. Anyway, I feel Marc's pain on this one... :)
This kind of thread promotes several thoughts within my little head:
1) I too have a hat like that which appears to me to be just too big in the brim department. It makes me uncomfortable to wear it - but all the Lounge members who saw it, as well as my very candid girlfriend, say it looks...
Well put Marc. I couldn't resist teasing you a little but I agree with your point of view. Once someone buys a thing fair and square they are the owner and have the right to do with it as they please - whether it pleases me and others or not.
Well hell, Goose, that looks great!! Better than mine looks on me for sure. I like the band. Oh, and I believe I paid $75 for mine years ago so you did well on the price too.
