The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Thanks, Dennis. I normally flyfish, catch-and-release only, but caught this trophy trolling the 'Bay...and decided it was a keeper! -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Many thanks for the compliment, carouselvic, as well as the correction! I thought it odd to name a hat after a color, or a rare metal. The tag reads: 'Rutenio c. asfalto', which I interpreted as 'Ruthenium colore asfalto'. Should have realized, with my violin/music background, that... -

Thanks, B.J.. 'Flamboyant' is probably one of the more measured descriptors to come to mind when folks refer to the G.P.! The Nostalgia looks wonderful on you, B.J.. -
The Dobbs Diner...
Thank you, Josh, I appreciate it. The felt indeed has a smooth, suede-like texture, with a very supple hand. Feels great on the noggin, too. I remember well your wonderful Mallory from your post back in December. That is why I made the suggestion to you NOT to alter the hat! It is a... -

Nice looking lids, bowlerman!!! You wear them well. You can embed the images directly to your post, rather than the links, if you so desire. There is a menu option for that on your individual image page. Let me know if you have any problems. -

Thanks, Dennis. I have not cleaned the hat at all. It came to me in good shape overall, minor critter damage notwithstanding. -

Nice, representative hat from the era, Josh, and it looks great on you! Lake & Nicollet lies at the southern terminus of what is commonly referred to as Eat Street these days. There is no longer a physical intersection of the two streets, as the location is now covered by a supermarket... -

Thank you for your kind words, bowlerman, and welcome to the board! Dobbs certainly made some fine hats 'back in the day'. Regarding photo uploading to the forum, I think it is actually quite straightforward. You will need to sign up for one of the myriad photo-hosting sites available on... -

The Cavanagh Club
Thanks, Viper Man,I appreciate it. I was planning to apply a little steam to the ribbon but did not have the opportunity to do so prior to taking the photos. The wrinkles should come right out as they are not deep in the fabric. -
The Cavanagh Club
Thanks, flute! Thank you, Dennis. The sides and back are actually 2-3/8"(I mistakenly listed 2-3/16" above), but the front is definitely 2-1/2".
