Some gambling is needed in this game. BB Bristol in transitional/lords style, marked size 54, but fits! Humble wool, instead of exotic animals fur can make for a grail hat for some ;)
I can't really thank enough @mayserwegener for pointing out this one to me!
Another Borsalino Misto Ionio. This one is a camper style, marked 58 but doesn't feel so. Marine blue ribbon.
All 3 "Ionio" I can recall (that's my second) are finished with long hairs. Daniele or Stefan might know if Ionio with the other misto finish exist.
A Lincoln Bennett& Co bowler. Size is 56
Unfortunately no label pics since I don't dare flipping the sweatband. It's not dry or anything, but it's very thick and not flexible. Never seen one like that before, still very high quality leather.
Matt, wow and thank you! This one will tick two boxes for me, I think ;) None of the Wegeners and/or chamois/suede finished hats that passed from my hands, stayed in the collection for one or another reason. Thanks again and looking forwards to it!
Good question. Hard to say since I don't have it hand for some time now. As far as I remember that one was more fur than wool. What I can say for sure is that I was quite sad it was that large, very well made hat and one of my first 3-4 vintage finds back then ;)
