Don't forget to try a tiny brim adjustment in front, just to see it. You'll be amazed at how much difference that can make.
Like this? I like it much better.

Me, too. There are times when you might rock it up in front, but this, or even a half a touch more "snapped," (downward) is easier to adjust to. A very powerful look, IMO.
I already did it a bit more. I will show it tomorrow at dawn to my golfing buddies. They already call me El Mad Hatter, in English with a Mexican accent.

Not yet, I think. I wanna be like Bowen, Moon, and Steven rolled together.
PS. And a touch of Alan.

If I may, Eric needs to be in that group. It was his hats and pairings that made me join the Lounge. His Gannon Christmas tree has cost me a pretty penny too...money well spent.

Yep! I forgot. But adding Eric would make the goal absurdly impossible. This way it's just impossible :)

Borsalino Traveller in green. Size 60 cm. It is a modern Borsalino, around nineties
The felt is mix of fur and woll and is very soft, the surface has a gentle touch with some short hair
It was the Borsalino to travel, so you can crush as you want. Not my opinion, neither my aim:rolleyes:
The best is to give it a shape and then let it "rest"

Proportions are: Stitched brim at 6.5 cm. crown at 11 cm. and the contrasting ribbon is 3 cm.
Unlined with sweatband made of grosgrain as in the tradition of this type of Borsalino
It arrived used in good-excellent conditions

Great color combo.

Hi Chaps, here's some pics of my first Mossant, i don't no much about this particular brand so had a chat with Stefan as to age etc, he suggested late 40s to early 50s, interestingly, the front of the brim is slightly wider than sides & back. The bow is brown which really compliment the hat colour.
Molto bello. I agree with Stefan about the age, more ffiteis than forties!

Great hat, Mike. Love the colours and how thin that felt is. Good get.

Am I the only one who always sees the photos that @Wyldkarma posts upside down? Maybe it’s a Tapatalk thing?

My guess is you’re using an iPhone for pics and uploading posts from the iPhone albums, which look fine when you post them on your phone yet when seen on the lounge they are wonky to others but still look ok to you.
Is that close Wyldkarma?
May be able to help if you told us your posting methods. Just a thought.

My first antique store find. I had to drive 300 miles away from home for it to happen though. Patty and I were going to a get together dinner at a German restaurant in Renton WA and had a few minutes to walk around town. Poked our heads into an antique store and I asked for any hats. Found a Dobbs Rainbow!! The wife talked the owner down to $25! The sweat needs a lot of help (torn next to the rear seam) and its dirty as hell. But it is not a damn baseball hat for once. Probably will have Mike Miller look at the sweat. The liner is intact, printed not embroidered, but cool anyway. It's a little on the stingy side with a 2" brim, but has a Guild Edge! Project hat for sure.

More on my pilgrimage to Byrnie Utz hats. I had to buy something. We were running out of time, spent too much time visiting with the Owner, and had to make a quick decision. The store was picked over pretty good, nothing but little and extra huge! Brent would have been in heaven! I could have spent $300 on a modern Borsalino, but that was not in the cards. Woolies galore and modern Stetsons...most in 7 3/4. At the last minute (they wanted to close) I grabbed a funky little Capas open weave stingy for $35.00. Lipstick (Puggaree) on a pig and I said goodbye to the oldest hat store in Seattle. It was a whirlwind stop, but I did get something. I needed a hat for the unusually hot temps in Seattle that weekend anyway. Really need it here in Oregon with 90+ days all week.

Don't judge me.
