Who's Mr. Lucky now?
Mr E Train said:That'd be yours truly.
I replaced the rather "meh" hatband with a black pleated puggaree. Looks much better to my eyes.

frenchgentleman said:Here is a photo: the liner is stitched from place to place, and the white knot on the leather sweatband seems to be stitched with the hat, preventing to completely pull up the sweatband.
Borsalino Fan said:Perhaps somone could help with a questiom. I found in a second-hand store in Italy a Borsalino in pristine condition. I 'd like to buy it but I don't know if it's authentic. The medallion in the center says G.B. Borsalino FU Lazzaro, which I've never seen on any of my other Borsalinos. It appears to be from the 50's or 60's. Could anyone please tell me if this was a label that Borsalino used at one time?
Thank you.

This very nice, and much overlooked in ebay I would have to think, offering from the Gun Club:
Very high memory in this green-grey felt. If you bend it hard it looks like cardboard would and holds that shape well until it returns to what it seems to have been stored in for a very long time. Maybe it had been put into a box just a little too small and the sides want to curl up a bit, rather like an outback style brim. I'll have to dig out the brim moulds and steam/store a while to get what I want from it.
The texture is that soft suede feel to the finger and very pleasing although not thick and soft but rather thinner and firmer with a sensual tendency.
2-5/8" brim, crown 4 X 3-5/8 creased as shown
Style - Spring Creek
Colour - Moss
and except for being poorly stored somehow for some time it is a clean/sweet little find
Nice Hat, congratulations ¡¡¡¡:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clapmayserwegener said:This 7 3/8 Anton Peschel Tyrol (Dinkelsbühl, Germany ) velour went under the radar on US eBay ($16.00 including shipping!). I am thinking mid - late 50s and made for the US market. I don't believe that it was ever worn and the brown velour finish (very difficult to photograph) is some of the finest I have encountered post WWII. Also a Borsalino like corrugated vent and hanging cord (similar to Hückel). Over quality is super! More details in the German - Austrian thread.
