Just looking at this one again. This is a great hat!
Thanks, Daniel. I’m excited to see it for myself, but UPS is dragging their feet.

That is quite something, Joe. But what can you do? You may have some protecting against the modern variants, but if the old ones resurface you haven't got a chance.Although “double vaxed and boosted” and through a few close calls… I thought I might make it through the holiday season without a new HAS infection… alas it appears I have a breakthrough case. This one feels different

BINGO… I may have no immunity to 100 year old strainsThat is quite something, Joe. But what can you do? You may have some protecting against the modern variants, but if the old ones resurface you haven't got a chance.
VERY cool
You’re in trouble. At your size if you start buying derbies where do you stop?
The proportions are definitely a bit different from what I am used to seeing. I am quite excited for it.. especially when the seller accepted my offerI love those extra tall derbies. They aren't easy to find in good shape. Not that I'd ever wear one, mind you! Ha, ha.
Now, I don't usually go for modern-made hats, but the color and trimmings on this recently made Borso just screamed out to me.... (I want a yellow and red one just like it now) View attachment 391834
I did. That color piqued my interest. I'd been considering getting a few lids in very gaudy colors, so when I saw this I just felt it was time. I'd like to find a yellow and red fedora, too. I've considered converting some cowboy hats in those colors because sometimes you can find a good bright yellow and red in cowboy hats -- though rarely in a fedora.I saw that…did you buy it? It’s a bold choice.

After some time I asked him if he would be willing to sell it, to which he replied, if memory serves, "when hell freezes over".
I was prepared to make a generous offer, but after such a conclusive reply, I abstained.
I just bought what I believe to be the same model and color on eBay, for 40 dollars.
It is a more recent hat, but I am still thrilled.
The first picture is Anthony's, the rest of are eBay's.

Now to decide if I should sell it or use it as a donor felt for a custom…?
