Beautiful. Always wanted to see what the other Rosselini looked like especially in "Birch." NOS from Hats Plus? They refer to their model as the "Hudson" Rosselini. My Rosselini (with the teardrop crown) they refer to as the "Selkirk" Rosellini.NOS Biltmore. Classic Canadian era hat. The Rosellini model, color Fawn.

That must have been amazing ... two mastersMoon, in 1979 I saw him at the Grand Ole Opry House when he was doing a two man tour with Ray Cooper. Cooper looked like a tweed wearing English professor, with round wire rim glasses that would be more comfortable in a front of a classroom chalkboard than the guy beating the literal hell out of the kettle drums he was standing behind. Cooper could also play any instrument on the stage, percussion or otherwise. They did a duet with John on the piano and Cooper playing the organ. I've never seen anything like it since. What a show.
Love that album.
The first time I saw Elton John live was when he performed his "historic" concerts at Dodger Stadium in October of 1975--the first time a musical act performed there since The Beatles nine years earlier. I've seen him perform a few times since, and every show was worth the price and then some.Moon, in 1979 I saw him at the Grand Ole Opry House when he was doing a two man tour with Ray Cooper...

I saw him at Bonnaroo in 2013. He put on an excellent show. I believe he was the last performer on the last night of the festival. Great way to end it.The first time I saw Elton John live was when he performed his "historic" concerts at Dodger Stadium in October of 1975--the first time a musical act performed there since The Beatles nine years earlier.

Champ Featherweight I scored at a local antique shop for $20. Another 10 got me the original box. Box says Featherweight in Charcoal Gray. This must have been a higher model featherweight as it's dressier than my tan one which has the same box, sweat, name etc. Pics are after soaked it in naphtha and brushed. This is the best it would cleanup.
It's possible neither has the exact box the hat was intended for. Although the tan one is clearly labeled size 7 Champ Featherweight, the box I got it in from an estate sale is labeled a 7 1/8 Polara in Black. The grey one is simply labeled 7 1/8 Champ but the box states 7 1/4 Featherweight in "Char Grey". Both brim widths are 2 1/4"
Thanks for letting me share my 2 Champ hats.

That's a great example of the twisted weave I've seen in Cuenca, Ecuador. Wonderful addition with the pug!Also not a new hat, but a new green pugaree band on my 40's open weave panevent. I love this hat for casual or more semi formal hot weather wear.

Borsalino bought in 1963. Flecks of blue, green and grey in the felt which has an interesting edge. Black ribbon with wind trolley. In a hotel with no ribbon so no measurements. I am very happy with this, soft felt.
I'm a bit late with my comments, but these are two fantastic looking borsalino's. You did well there, Christophe.Borsalino Alessandria in grey - green. Camera is not getting the colour quite right, will try with better sunlight tomorrow. Beautiful felt, also very happy with this, thank you @Miamibruno!
