Thanks for the some-time-in-the-future future likes!
I have heard the refurb speculation before. If it was, it was a heck of a job as there’s no evidence of it. There is some writing on the hat body I’ve not seen before that I recall. Perhaps a special order?
I do too. That’s why I enjoy your Gus hat so much.
Those predictive algorithms….. I’m quite sure they are correct though LOL

Great colour and a nice touch of contrast with the ribbon.My BLUE Biltmore homburg arrived:

That is a wonderful find, David. If one pops up you better go for it, because they don't come around often.Pretty close to my ideal hat and in absolutely flawless mint condition. Borsalino Gorasgu. The felt is very thin and easy to shape and has a very soft velvet-like feel. Just a spectacular find for me. Enjoy the day—a beautiful one here.

Thanks Randy! I recall you posted a beautiful one not long ago, so you seem to have a bit of that hat mojo.Wow! Super nice Gorusgu, David!
Man, you can find em!
NOS never worn 7XCB OR mid 50s, but another like the mid 50s 7XCB OR having a plastic liner tip that I got a month ago that also has soft, hand moldable felt.
This one has an oil skin liner tip, but has the maple leaf in the sweat logo and the tell tell white, long reorder label. Was expecting to see red and orange labels.
Oh well. Larger proportions. Hand creased cattlemen’s crown. Leaving as is, except I have snapped down the brim. No steam.
Super hat box! I haven’t seen one just like it. I had one that was close, same color and style, but smaller with leather strap instead of this cool fabric strap. View attachment 488683 View attachment 488684 View attachment 488689 View attachment 488692 View attachment 488693
