Josh, The brim flange is really something. I am really happy that it fits even though the marked size is 57cm. I usually cannot go under 58cm.
Would you post and outside shot, buler? I'm very intrigued by this color...
Ale, here is the hat outside. No sun today. This is afternoon and overcast.

Ale, nice job on the Selco. Mission Accomplished on the grey Cav Edge!
Selco of Brooklyn. Please visit this thread for more pictures and if you have info on the brand, please post it here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?62564-Selco-Hats-of-Brooklyn...&p=1411936#post1411936
Pith Helmet from India
Thanks. No date, originally sold in Aleppo, SyriaI love it! Pit helmets are awesome. Any date on this?
Marc; The dimensions on the cap are great. My eye, trained by oldy movies and pics, see the fabric on the sides of the cap to be certainly styling of the 30's and extending to early 40's. I like the cap. Good fortunes in your biography pursuits.

Sold or renovated by Milwaukee's London Hat Shop. The Satin Finish clearly was created by brushing a smoothly felted and finished body(see inside of crown). Ventilation holes too.
Really neat and unique hats recently, everyone.
Ale-- that Selco looks stellar. Exactly what you were after, minus the trolley of course?
This hat had me intrigued for a long time and I finally gave in after having a positive reaction to my first Champ-- recent lord's hat.
It's a Champ Kasmir finish-- light brown ribbon over dark brown felt (not the subtle tones like buler's recent post). I'd appreciate any advice anyone might have regarding the vintage. Some elements are throwing me for a loop. The felt is suede-ish, and rather heavy. It took a good bit of soaking to get it creased the way I wanted it.
The crown is about 4 5/8" creased, and brim is 2 1/8" overwelt (from the auction photos I thought it might be a Cav edge).
The ribbon is a 2 inch backbow.
