A very cool Borsalino homburg in size 7 1/8. More in the Borsalino Brotherhood thread:
Nice. I think he gets a pretty penny for his creations. Getting one at a good price is probably worth it.Another new to me hat from Worth & Worth. It’s also in blue rabbit felt, but it’s a slightly lighter shade of blue. It has a suede leather sweatband. The open crown is 5 5/8” (or just slightly under) and the raw edge brim is 2 5/8” wide. It presents better partially because I took some effort at home with my steamer to shape it up.

Nice old Marathon. Whoever changed the liner made a nice choice.J. C. Penny Co. Marathon:
Olive green with a 5 1/2” open crown and 2 3/4” wide brim with wide whippet style binding. Another far from mint hat in US size 7. No label hiding behind the sweatband. The felt is very soft and borderline limp. Sometime in its life it acquired a replacement liner.

Impressive haul you've got there, Brent. I like the look of the Mallory and the Borsalino best, but the colour on those Worth and Worth hats is great.J. C. Penny Co. Marathon:

*sigh* I have a feeling I'll soon be ordering one for myself. Great looking hat, and I think that crown height suits you well!Well, several years after adding a Fed IV in Moonstone to my collection, I had to add a Carbon Grey...

Thanks! Yes, I've had my eye on this color for at least a year now. It was bound to happen sooner or later.*sigh* I have a feeling I'll soon be ordering one for myself. Great looking hat, and I think that crown height suits you well!
Nice!A $16 find at a local antique mall. Knox “Milan”. A size 7-1/2. I was beginning to think there were no more that size out there.

This $12.50 stack-o-hats gamble might pay off enough for another type of stack at IHOP.
