To be fair: you're getting more wear than this hat has had.Thanks Stefan. It's in excellent shape for its age. Hope I look as good when over 80
Thanks Stefan for the information.You should be, Marcel. Those Brummel's are great hats. I find people sell hats from inheritances or clean outs because they have no use for them and don't want to bother looking them up. Fine by me; I'll buy hats like this for 9 euro all day long.
I don't think Brummel's survived the mid-sixties onslaught among hatters very long. Both the style and the cloth crown patch indeed point towards the fifties for this one. Very nice! I love the curl of the brim. You should post it in the Beneluxury thread as well.
What a beautiful and uncommon hat. Congratulations Steve.The third of the three hats I recently bought from Daniele. Barbisio Qualitá Extra. I fell for this one as soon as I saw Daniele's photos of it. As he takes much better photos than me, I've attached a link below. You can also read Daniele's description of it.
Needless to say, I'm so pleased with this bold and elegant hat.

What a beautiful and uncommon hat. Congratulations Steve.
Stefan, Thanks!Great find, Steve. Always happy days if one other than black turns up.
Two great new additions. Enjoy!Yesterday was a first for me, a two hat day. I bought them at seperate times but they both showed up today. First is my new vintage Stetson 3x Beaver, beautiful felt, it does have a couple little tiny rough spots. The liner is beautiful too though.

The next is an Akubra Mexican, the brim on this is a quite large 3 5/8. It arrived kinda mashed and needs some steam and the crown rebashed. But it's not like any other hat I have.

Thank you! It is always fun to get new hats, my parents were in town this weekend and my dad liked the Akubra and has never had a fur felt hat before so I gifted the Akubra to him. He looked better in it anyways.Two nice catches. Two very different styles. Eclectic is the way to go with a hat collection.
Congrats PNW.
Gorgeous looking hat, Greg. I wonder if the stain wouldn't go out with just water.3X cowboy hat. 4 x 5 3/4. Thin dense felt. I opened up the crown to precipitate cleaning but needs a gas bath.

I'm not normally a big fan of western hats, they're just not my thing. But every once in a while one comes along that catches my attention, and that hat right there is the one for today. Great shape, and it suits you right down to the ground Bama!3X cowboy hat. 4 x 5 3/4. Thin dense felt. I opened up the crown to precipitate cleaning but needs a gas bath.
