weave count is about 700 per square inch.
Magnificent! So fine. Also, that last shot of you could go in a frame.
Josh, The Borsalino looks great on you. Not too big.
SteveAS, That is one fine looking velour. Happy for you.
Jedwbpm, Wonderful look. That silverbelly is a real eye catcher (in a good way).
All great hats on this page.
