Manfred: Beautiful hat and wonderful photos. Certain to be a favorite of yours. I shall always enjoy seeing you wearing it!

Nice hat, Manfred. I have looked for a Homburg to convert for a while now, but have come up empty. I don't look as good in them as you do.

Vintage Borsalino

vintage Borsalino found at the Portland Expo. Nothing super fancy but it sports that great thin and tight vintage borsalino felt. The inside was in great shape, but it was super wrinkled and dirty but Mike Miller of Northwest hats cleaned it up, took out the wrinkles and I had him put a new ribbon on it for a little variety from my other borsys.

One of the FL members Cane Rod Maker, just starting hatting and I commissioned a hat with him, I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! It's modeled after a vintage Stetsonian he has, and the ribbon is vintage also. Even more of a plus, Cane has a large noggin like me so he "gets" big heads.

Pete,

That is a great looking hat. Do you have any shots of the inside?

Fedoralover ! there is nothing like that thin soft Borso felt.
Pete ! im digging that Cane Hat it's very slick sir. Great job Cane rod maker !

OK very lite & very soft almost like butter....
C&K,Knapp felt 15
the color is awesome that's what lured me to it...i actually passed this up a while back & returned to the local antique mall & they lowered it to $20.00 out the door..
the Moth's did a job on this so into the freezer for 3 days it went & ill brush & steam later......

it sold new in Sacramento CA, Hesseman shop. killer stitching on the brim edge top brim is mild & bottom brim is thick & bold...nice touch.

Rebecca Like's it !

I really dig this Stitching, More so than a Stetson Playboy.

Too small for me but MOCO will grow into it

Wow, Pete, sweet hat, Cane really did a nice job on that bad boy.

Hey Che, that's a sweet hat you stumbled onto, too bad for you it won't fit, but MOCO is making out like a bandit in that deal.

 

[seabass]

Scooter !
yea the RugRats win !& the best part hats will be a everyday thing as they grow up. Sorta like my upbringing as a kid....

Fascinating weave on the Malrov Robert. Never heard of one but very kool hat, is it Russian? Can't quite read the labels.

Che, Love the C&K, fantastic color and the brim stitches are killer. MOCO is a lucky boy. Who ended up with the pacifier?

Here's a real oddball. Manfred found this at a flea-market and posted some pix of it. I asked him if he wanted to sell it and he obliged making me an offer I couldn't refuse. Thank you Manfred! It's a German Mayser "Favorit", also says "Pierre" on the sweat. Not really sure what to call this hat but I like it.

Pretty bronze liner

7/8 ribbon with cute back bow and contrasting brim binding

Brim is 1 3/4

Poor self done noggins

 

[randooch]

That one's different, for sure!

 

[alanfgag]

Mike, I respect your sense of adventure. Very neat!

 

[Mystic]

Brim is 1 3/4

Mike, Actually looks kind of neat.

This hat has some nice features....but, why does an AMC Grimlin come to mind. :whistling

 

[mikespens]

Thanks for the carefully chosen words Randall and Alan

Mystic, maybe more like a Pacer?

Seperated at birth?

Seriously, does anybody know what style this hat is called? Steve posted this very similar Barbisio in the "SUYVS" thread

Mike, Here is a similar style 1960s Barbisio Rimini of mine.
