    Here's a 1937 dark brown DB by "Scotch Woolen Mills" Chicago. The fabric is really heavy with a faint hint of a red window pane check, this must have been made to order dew to the name tag on inside pocket? Mike

It"s stamped 1939 on the inside of the sweatband, not sure if it had a liner originally, any thoughts? Also has an interesting detail to the edge...

    Hi chaps been a while since last post, but here's a interesting Tonak Velour made for Dunn & Co i found last week.

    BARBISIO Brothers

    This Barbisio came all the way from Palermo, not really my cup of tea, a bit to modern for me!, dated 1966. It was only £15 and came with another hat. Cheers Mikw

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Hi chaps, here's another Borso for the record books, bought a couple of weeks ago and what a lovely example it is!. Had a chat with Stefan about possible age, i thought it could be late thirties early 40s, Stefan aired with caution and suggested early 40s. I suppose it all depends on the...
