My wife agrees with you, Brent. It was she who suggested I order a different shape. I love that woman. She stopped sighing in dissaproval every time a new hat arrives! Maybe she figures it is better I collect hats than other "activities", like the husbands of some of her friends who have had to divorce.
My new Optimo Frank Lloyd Wright model in Bison felt arrived today. Nice felt, but I can't really say I like the way it looks on me. Maybe it will grow on me.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
I agree with the "give it time" crowd. The style is different from the fedoras you're used to wearing (and I don't think it looks bad on you at all), it looks like a damn fine hat, and I assume it's paid for, so live with it for a while and enjoy it.
Hahaha. I keep looking in the mirror, and it's starting to look normal.
Such a wonderful finish on this one Daniele. The sunlight is a friend to this hat.
It took me sometimes to finally have this Flechet ready.
This came, old-new stock from the Strasbourg "A. Meer" hats shop field. The felt is heather astounding color, between various greys and black
I almost forget it, because it was sized as 60 cm. but it was really wide and remained some years sit back in the closet
thinking I have to find the right hatter to dimension it for my head.
Fleur of Penumbra hats in Netherland made an excellent job and now the hat fits well with a slightly new shape
Flechet in dark heather grey. Unlined and with a overseams brim at 5.5cm and crown at 11.5cm at the pinch, ribbon is 3.5 cm. with a lovely bow.
Lovely medium weight felt hat ready for the autumn
It is quite different from your current parade. But I like that, this one makes a new statement in your hat journey. Cool Beans.My new Optimo Frank Lloyd Wright model in Bison felt arrived today. Nice felt, but I can't really say I like the way it looks on me. Maybe it will grow on me.

Daniele, Happy to see such a beauty. It really shines!This hat was a bet, even better a difficult project carried out despite the hat was not my size.
Thank especially to Fleur owner of the Penumbra hat who patiently saved this gem with avery professional work
The hat arrived in Italy in quite disastrous conditions, especially the lining was stained black for too much exposure of the hat to the water. The sweatband was dry, while the beautiful velour felt needed to be put back on its feet
Here is the result: a perfect lining, with a nourished sweatband and the velour is majesty
The hat only show an indication BHV on the lining and no paper label is under the sweatband
The shiny black velvet felt is solid and full-bodied with exceptional quality. The hat could have been built in the 1920s for its dimensions which are: raw brim at 6 cm. crown at 12 cm. and 5 cm is the ribbon.
Its size is 56 cm. for my total misfortune and for the luck of someone who, having this size, will want to buy it.

Thanks Steven! This is one against your marvellous squad of velour
Thanks Alan. You are lucky because it is your size....more or less!
Thanks Max. I live in the source hoping that the Borsalino affair is over in the best way, we'll see in the coming months. Ermenegildo Zegna, one of the great interpreters of the woolen yarn, makes the Cappellifico Cervo - Barbisio rise again and the others, the Tuscans and the Marches, continue to work producing hats
Thanks Carlo I try to do my best even if this hat is destined to leave

Yes, I've gotten used to it a little. It is a nice hat, after all.
"Best in Class" I used to show Newfoundlands... Do you show dogs?
Wonderful hat, Daniele. Great heather felt. Great job by Penumbra again.
