Max, Thanks! Your latest Optimo Chicago is fantastic!

Optimo Nashville Western in Thoroughbred Melusine.
I am really proud of this one. Tiffani at Optimo said it's the first.

That's a great one Max! I prefer the brim up western crease, but that's just me.

The first of many hopefully, Max. Fantastic hat. Versatile, too. Works both with the brim up with Western style pinches, and with brim down Fedora style. Congrats, Max!

Thanks, Steve! It is the first Nashville in Thoroughbred Melusine felt anyone has ordered from Optimo. Crazy Mexicans.
I have another Optimo Melusine, but this one's black. Shinier, too.

Brim down, changed the pinch.

Sure does change the looks. Love it both ways.

Best,
Joe

A very difficult one to beat, and it is the hat you ought to wear if It was 50 years ago snd all of them were variations of the same identity.
I really think that one is you.

I’ve acquired a number of new hats lately, but have been deficient in posting pics. I’ll try to get to them.

Here’s the latest arrival, another Stetson “Handmade for Belfry” fur felt, this one named “Windsor.” Silverbelly, with matched ribbon edge. Color looks so different in different lights. Very nice felt and fit.

Very cool bash on that one.

For mixed felts they usually sing the praises of Borsalino, but we forget that the mountain hatters, Barbisio and Cappellificio Cervo, have interpreted the theme in a splendid manner
View attachment 197466
Super Bantam Cervo size 60 or 7 1/2 US
View attachment 197467
Felt is a melange of green and some red, called "Loden" in the production workshop in Sagliano Micca - Biella a few years ago
View attachment 197468
The heather felt finish is typical of the mixed with a slight hair, sometimes bristly. The consistency is quite firm
View attachment 197469
The measurements are as follows: 6 cm of brim with a superb overwelted finish, the crown is 11 cm. and the tape at 4 cm.
View attachment 197470
The Bantam brand is also used by Cervo for the construction of Italian Alpine troops hat
View attachment 197471

View attachment 197472
The hat was sold in the depths of southern Italy, in Taranto former cappelleria Pisapia of which I have a large series of special "Bantam" felts produced by Cappelificio Cervo
View attachment 197473

Fantastic looking hat, Daniele. The proportions are just right and a heather felt wins bonus points (yes, even if it is in part green).

Second hat with a "special" felt
View attachment 197684
Borsalino Qualità Superiore size 6 or 59 cm. or 7 3/8
View attachment 197685
One of the strangest Borsalino in my collection, usually these are felts that the Cappellificio Cervo produced
View attachment 197686
Felt is a dark green with straw-colored inserts, but it is not marked "misto" as some might suppose
View attachment 197687
The color is "Brughiera" and the ribbon "Ombù". I have to be honest the first time I see a similar denomination of the ribbon and I think another time I saw a hat with this kind of green (Brughiera)
View attachment 197688
It was sold in Torino, around forty years ago
View attachment 197689
The felt is very consistent and despite appearances it firmly maintains the shape
View attachment 197690
The dimensions are as follows: brim at 5.5 over welted cm. the open crown is at 13 cm. and the ribbon is 3 cm.
Borsalino of the "bizarre" series

Great find, Daniele. And indeed quite unusual. Never seen a Borsalino like that before.

What does a man with every hat under the sun order as a custom? Well, it's this one. Ballsy and quite cool, Max!

If only some of these sellers could be charged a reshaping fee!

Well another great packing job ! I’m 4 for 4 on my last 4 hats. I’ve been looking for something that would look good with a copper colored ribbon and I want to try my hand at making a shark gill bow. Thought this Mallory would look good in it, and only $10....
