Picked up this Open Road at the Scott Antique Market in Atlanta.

Two hats came in this week. Sort of lottery hats, but I had a bit more to go on this time, so no brainers both.

Barbisio Sportex Visone in grey. The colour is called Rimini. Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. The felt is wonderfully soft on this one and it's very lightweight as well at only 78 grams. A winner.

I could call this Barbisio Incognito, because that's basically what it is. It doesn't say Barbisio anywhere on the hat, but they are definitely the maker. Same size label and tag and same label underneath the sweatband even without their name on it.
So. Barbisio fedora in grey (Cervo on the label). Size 57 with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. Wonderful hand to the felt, shapes with ease and holds it without problem. Weighs 94 grams.

Both great looking hats. The petting fur is fab.

Thanks, Joe. Nothing wrong with a nice petting hat.

What a great looking hat. I'm not sure I've seen a better looking Dobbs.

Hmmm, a 7 1/8, you say....

Came home yesterday and found a package waiting for me with this wonderful and perfectly fitting bowler inside along with a personal letter. Christmas Came(y) early for ol' Hambone. I was totally caught by surprise and was overjoyed with the generosity of a fellow lounger!

Today came in:
Charles Hatters High Quality in black.
Don't know exactly the date of it, maybe @Daniele Tanto can help? I read his post before about this brand, that it was an 'undercover' Borsalino with an english brandname? The felt is stiffer then Borsalino, but it's a well made hat of good quality.

 

[Pellie]

Second one today, same hat in brown.

Nice catches, Marcel. I'm a bit puzzled by the labels. They are of a type Borsalino used in the early seventies, but I wonder what the Ticino stands for. Should be the colour name first, but here it's obvious that those come second (nero and caffro).

This is a good look for you, as was that homburg you recently picked up as well.

Yes, Ticino is printed in both labels, so it can't be the colour indeed.

Thank you! I'll be working on my confidence to wear it in public, as this is my first and only bowler. I like the look, too, but it will take some getting used to. It fits great and it's hard to take it off here in the house.

I know what you mean, I have a bowler that I have worn around the house, to get the mail, and drop the kids off at school, but I haven't worn it to dinner or the pub yet. Someday I will though.

 

[BobHufford]

this is my first and only bowler.

So far. They are a particularly severe variant of HAS.

Looks great on you! Wear it to Wal-Mart … no one will consider it any more weird than what you see there on a daily basis and it will help you get used to it.

I'm sure it won't be your last Bowler. Believe me, I speak from experience as can many here

You'll have no trouble pulling the look off in public. It's a beaut of a Bowler and it really does looks good on you. Don't let Randy down now

Ticino is a region in Switzerland that borders Italy, Lake Como. Maybe that has something to do with it. Just a thought.
