Here’s a recent mid century Borsalino sourced from Rome Italy . Big beautiful size 7 1/2. I was going to sell this one but decided after giving it a gas bath that this was one to keep.
Felt is super lightweight and I would compare it with a high quality Montecristi if that’s possible?

Thanks . I began my hat journey with a vintage 1940s Borsalino long ago, about 10 years in hatters time, so finally finding a nice one in a large size and color , believe me, Ive waited long enough!
Now the challenge is trying to keep it realizing I may never find another in this lifetime at...
Here’s a fine example of a mid century vintage Borsalino that I just restored .All the interior markings appear in liner and embossed at front of sweatband of hat. Liner and sweat are excellent as this hat appeared to have been worn a lot ,which helped to preserve the sweat from drying out ...
I make Silk liners to size. Can do either an open seam or closed seam which ever you prefer. Have a few colors left of some nice quality silk that works well with vintage hat colors.

I wear moc toe and look for them always . If their good shoes / boots they hold up better than non moc.
Wolverine 1000 mile boot is my favorite so far.

Well what can I say except I changed the direction slightly with this one and it ended up as a modified Open Road . Re blocked it from a 7 1/4 to 71/2 w a healthy 6" op crown ht. Brim is at 3". Absolutely love this Felt and this makes the second one I made for myself of this era vintage Stetson...
Thanks for the comments and all of the likes!
I am really happy for my next conversion. I picked this Stetson 3X up recently in hopes of transforming it for a daily wearer. This is what I came up with for ribbons, I ll also be resizing it up from 7 1/4LO up to a 7 1/2. Should end up with a...
Here is a recent restoration for a fellow lounger of sorts as opposed to a conversion. This is a pre war from Scott & Co London. Resized to 7 1/4, added crown ribbon and brim binding w wind cord. Kept crown ribbon bow as nearly identical to original. Also on inside added silk pinch protector and...

Melton 10 with requested pleated ribbon. Swapped out plain black ribbon that lounger didn't want for this vintage grey silver ribbon. Color of felt is a lovely light grey and the new ribbon picks up the stitching on top side of brim binding.

Good work guys.
Here's a Adam executive that was pretty trashed all around save the felt was still pretty nice. Dug up some vintage ribbon in similar colors and added a shark gill bow.
