Post New Hats Here!

[Hat and Rehat]

This was yesterday's new hat. The sweat is strong and supple, but very faded. If I squint and hold my tongue just right I can make out Milan, but otherwise know nothing about this one, except that the paisley hatband sucked me in.
Smaller brim than I am looking for, but I like the hat.

That was a test. No tools when in blue screen.
Anyway, here are pics;

(I believe the little guy in the background is roughly the same vintage as the hat ---- feels like it, anyway)

For some reason I'm always attracted to the brown tone-on-tones. That is a nice one!

Picked this one up this week. A tad small on me and already have one like this, so it's going again.
Borsalino Ardilla in Mogano colour. Size 56 with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown 11 cm at the center dent. The felt is fantastic: a real petting hat. Someone decided to perforate the sweatband for some reason, but that's a minor flaw. Dates from 1979.

What hat will you be wearing?

Being a serious nudist.....probably none!

Looks good on you, Steve. There always are hats that just don't seem to work for a person. This was one of those for me. Glad it found a good home.

Thank you, Stefan. It did indeed find a good home and a very appreciative one, too.

Noticed these are up for auction at my local auction room...Dunn and Co Bowler and Homburg hat in original boxes.
I'm off to have a look tomorrow.
I no very little about these hats but they're in mint condition...is it worth bidding ?

They are very worth bidding for. Go for it and good luck.

Oh man, I would have never thought it was a 6 1/2.

I was a wee bit disappointed . I really liked it. This is the pitfall of buying onine. The only saving grace is that I didn't pay much for it and my daughter is interested in hats.

It's great that your daughter can wear it. Hope she enjoys it.

Thanks, Randy. Mogano is one of the better brown colours by Borsalino, with a nice rich reddish undertone (what do I know: I'm colourblind).

Like the other have said: yes! Very good looking hats. Don't go overboard, but those are worth bidding on for sure.

That's another beauty, Steve. It might not be the season for velour hats, but you keep finding the good ones.

Stefan, Thanks! I am always looking for old Velour hats.

A pretty nicely woven straw hat

 

[Yamahana]

Yup.... there’s a vintage Bailey U-Rollit straw in there...
....

Guess it’s a good thing I only paid $9.67. I have a hard time resisting the cool things I grew up with from the good ole days. I’ll see what some steam & magic can do. However I don’t think I posses as much magic as the wizard Desert Dog does in restoring hats.

Well ****....no wonder you don’t like green!!
They just mess up all your grays!!
Ps: in spite...you still do one heck of a job with colors Stefan!!

I'd still be hitting the seller up for a shipping refund at least. That is unacceptable.

A couple new arrivals. Both are 7 1/4 and are subsequently already listed on eBay.

First is a Stetson St. Regis. This is the Royal Stetson De Luxe (as opposed to the newer Stetson Royal De Luxe). This gray homburg is in excellent shape; I just wish it was a 7 5/8.
