Light gray modern Borsalino from Steven at Bencraft. I just love the color. Trionfo line, super soft Alessandria. From the computer tag under the band that begins "09" I'm guessing 2009 manufacture, before the moste recent Borsalino mess started, I believe.
I adore it!
Absolutely gorgeous hat you got there.
This next one I ordered with a slight mod over the OR clone Michael did fiorst time around: 5 1/4 crown, 2 5/8 brim, and that ribbon rather than the OR ribbon style. That will give me a bit of variety!
Hat Friends:
I'm trying to decide on the color of my next Gannon. Trying to decide between Natural, Black Cherry, Camel, Pecan and Whiskey. If you have pictures of a hat of yours in any of those colors I would LOVE to see it!
Michael made me a 50s style OR clone (see my profile pic) and I liked it so much, this time around I'm opting for a Black Cherry Borsalino Alessandria clone. I like the narrow hat band and I think the color and the edging around the brim will dress this one up a bit. Can't wait!
Sporting a just arrived Milan Straw Strat from the latest Delmonico sale. Always wanted one and I usually like to have a straw I can beat the heck out of each summer.
My very first custom hat, a 50s style OR in homage to Harry Truman. Of course I love it: the felt is light, it's soft, it's easy to bash, I don't intend to steam it because I like the soft, pinch, hey it's the 50s and I'm doing it myself look. I think I've found my styl;e of hat, I'm getting in...
Gannon Open Road custom clone (although I did choose the natural leather sweat color). Being mailed tomorrow. My very first custom hat, and I'll wear it pinched and probably mostly brim up. My Truman hat!
This looks close to if not exactly the same as the Trilby line in Rain Proof that I'm talking about. Easy to shape the crown, yes? Holds a nice shape? Lightweight? Did you buy it recently or are you not original owner? (I love it BTW.) Here's the inside f my trilby.
Haha, exactly.
I actually care less about it being packable. What I'm looking for is the same soft felt in the "Rain Proof" line that they use on the Trilbies Delmonico sells. Of course, every vendor can order and configure Borsalino hats in so many quality and custom specs it's hard to really...
