Thanks! I think I will have a chance to wear it before Winter hits.One of the more unique hats you've posted in awhile, Steve. Not for me but it's a pleasure to look at. Can't wait for a head shot.
It is a unique piece, Steve and it shows the skills of the Cervo makers very well. So many special style details. A rare find.Cervo Gold Bantam "Piuma", 59cm possibly later 1950s. This NOS find is from Daniele and my latest visit to the M. Hutter find in Merano, Italy. The detail work is really fantastic and the felt is very light weight with side vents.

Wonderful Lobbia Stefan! All the bells and whistles on this one. Such a rich looking hat.This came in today. Not looking the way it does now; had to take care of a very generous amount of dust first. It will be going back to its roots.
Borsalino Export Qualität Gran Lusso lobbia (or homburg if you will). Gulaela model in size 60 with the brim a little over 6cm and the crown a commanding 12cm in front (it looked at me like it did not want to be pinched). Nice touch is the : "gegenüber dem ratskeller" on the sweat and liner; like the hat wearer wouldn't know where the hatshop was.

My new suede Imperial Stetson from finevintage fedoras. Excelent, fine felt. This one is 7 1/4, but fit well after a day on one of my custom band blocks.![]()

It is, Brent. Thank you, my friend.Nice, Max! That suede finish looks to be halfway to velour. Looks very soft too.

Borsalino 100% Beaver. Modern Borsalinos get a bad wrap however I love the felt and profile on this one. I bought the exact same model 6 years ago at JJ Hat Center but with a slightly shorter brim.

Very nice additions, Tonio. The bowler is worth it for the liner alone. Still need to add a borsalino beaver to the collection.1890-1900s Harson Derby "Warranted Non Breakable".
