It’s a policy that I plan to implement first thing in the next….year or 5. ;-)

If you price creatively, you can say you are “selling” but still hang on to them.

I like the color, Steve
Excellent finds, Bob. They look brand new!
Superb, Matt. Exciting every time to see new models or colours showing up.Already shown in the "What hat are you wearing today" - here it is:
Borsalino "Gigiasgu" (never seen) in middle grey "Nizza"
for the German market: sold at Josef Hermann, München
felt matching brim binding + contrasting, frayed crown ribbon
size 6 Punti on the separate size stamp next to the label
brim 5,5 cm; ribbon 4,8 cm; crown 11,5 cm dent/14,5 cm open
Very nice, Jack. Tough to get a good pic of those black hole hats, sheen or no.
Beautiful hat, Randall. Resistol sure knew how to make them.
Cool find, Steve. Can't help but notice the brim break isn't that pronounced, or is that just the angle of the pic?
Still need to post these, which I could only photograph yesterday.
Sools Fifth Avenue in black. No label under the sweatband, so uncleat who the maker was. Size tag suggests Fléchet, but it was used by other makers as well. The kind of sturdy and dense felt which has me thinking it might be nutria or beaver. Size 57 with the raw edge brim at 6,7cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Lovely hand to the felt.

Thanks Stefan!
Absolutely right, Stefan. The brim break is not that well pronounced at all.

I have become a devotee of the smaller brimmed hats, so 5cm (just under 2") looks just right to me these days. If I were to design a hat for myself and this was suggested, the only change I would make (other than size) would be to remove the taper from the crown so that I'd have fewer difficulties fitting it onto my apparently enormous head. Nice hat!
Thanks, Al. Yeah, could've used a bit less taper for sure.I have become a devotee of the smaller brimmed hats, so 5cm (just under 2") looks just right to me these days.

Lovely ribbon treatment
Just seen your post, Marcel. Nice catch!
You can't go wrong with a Peschel. The proof must be in the fact that they're hard to come by.
Great shape and, as others have mentioned, that ribbon and bow treatment is very nice indeed. Icing on the cake!
Congrats.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität, Reine Handarbeit", 58 cm, possibly 1930s late 1920s and reworked later. There is no paper label but the Liner is stitched in so if reworked it was possibly in the 1950s. The Felt has a Natural finish but a soft hand. The Sweatband, Liner and Band are of very high quality.

I have a NOS condition P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität, Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a" that has very similar components and from about the same time period. This is definitely one of my finest hats.
