Resistol Ten (for Twenty). The "Lounger" name made it a must-buy.

Superb, Bob. That ribbon treatment is just awesome!

Well my dear loungers, I would like it to be my size. This together with the other Sools arrived today is one of my oldest finds since the passion for hats devours me. A pair of Borsalino are in Netherlands and another pair of antique hats are in America.
Unfortunately, nobody remained in my hands. because of the big size of my head. Honestly, I tell you that when I'm going to make a hat this will be his form

Sools was a famous hat sellers in Paris. Many important brands produced for this high end house

This Sools is made of a lightly hairy beige felt. In these picture the beige has the best rendition

As for the other, the width of the sweatband, the lack of lining and the only tip glued to the top of the crown, make me think it may be the same age, perhaps the years 20. I have others French old hats and they have the same features

The finish is masterful. The seam of the brim is unique in its kind and fantastic shape.
These the dimensions: the brim is 6 cm. over sewn with three seams, the crown at the lowest point is 12 cm. and the contrasting ribbon in black is 5 cm.

There are no signs of moths, but I think it is appropriate to wash it well and recondition the sweatband

Its size is a large 56. The paper label is only hand-written with a fountain pen

It's like being in a restaurant ready to eat one of the favorite dishes, but suddenly the cook runs away from the kitchen.
It is destined to leave me , we will see where it will go

It's a thing of beauty and it's my size too. Now I only have to find a way to add it to the collection without being shot by my wife, because I swore not to collect more hats

I think there’s a thread titled “what to say when your wife asks if you bought another hat...”

Stefan, when I saw Daniele's hat post, I wanted it. When I saw the size, I thought of you. It couldn't come to a better home. I'm sure your wife will understand [emoji4]

I should look for that thread for pointers; I've been using the "old thing" one dozens of times already

If there isn't, there should be.

That's because even your old hats look new.

Darned inflation.

Very nice! Love that ribbon treatment! Lots and lots of cool details on this one Bob. And that model name...priceless!

What a nice find! Very good looking felt, and the ribbon is really cool.

Bob, that's a fantastic hat. Serious felt! Drool factor of 10.99999!

Great hat. I’m liking pugs and other ribbon treatments on felt hats more and more.

Superb, Bob. That ribbon treatment is just awesome!

Thanks fellas! (and everyone for the likes)

I always have a bit of emotion when I open the packages and I surely know I will find really ancient hats.
Yesterday, it was the same emotion, when the two Sools arrived from France

The second, Sools in grey, is a hat that, as it was built, the lack of the lining and the width of the sweatband and the thin felt, given as a finding of the 30s.

The hat is in good condition, except for the traces of moths that I have highlighted

The felt is very malleable and I am sure it was brought with the flat brims

After a good cleaning and a few minutes of steam this is the hat.
The following picture show the color better

The measures are as follows: raw brim to 6.5 cm., crown to 10.5 cm. and the ribbon is 3 cm.
Felt ia a pale grey with black contrasting ribbon

The hat is very light weigths about 96 grams. The size is 56

It needs a good cleaning
Thanks for your appreciations and likes on the Sools beige
Buona giornata a tutti
