I'm already stacking hat boxes on the floor between a bed and wall. I'm running out of room and another on the way. I may need to check myself into rehab. Na, I'll wait for the intervention.

Congratulations Phil - that’s fantastic! How’s the fit? Got a shot with it on your head? It looks to be in stellar condition, too!
Thanks, Nathan! The fit is perfect. I'll get a head shot soon. Yes, I would say it's minty. I've been noticing those great ME's you've been sharing and that's what has turned me onto them.

Less bold than the "Chicago 1930 Years" this is a humble hat with a fantastic "Misto" felt
It wasn't easy to convince the seller to send me a photo of the felt, his solution was drastic: take it or leave it
I took a chance and won
Charles Hatters measures 58 centimeters, or 5 1/2 French point, in the USA he measures 7 1/4. finished very well for the period and above all, unlike his brothers it is soft
This is the name of the felt (what I can really read): "M L Foca M. Marrone"
Soft and with a color that I have rarely seen in recent years
Of course, the production is Borsalino and probably in Stefan's annals there is evidence that there is a "Misto Marrone" and a "Foca" which is the felt finish.
The measurements are typical of an Italian hat from the Sixties/Seventies.
The brims are 4.8 cm. and the ribbon is 4cm high. while the open crown is 13 centimetres
All I have to do is look for one in my size to have this type of felt
Coming soon a pair of Borsalinos found on the market in precarious conditions
Thanks for your likes and kind words on the "Chicago satinè"

The felt looks like a rust red with perhaps a purple tone on my screen, Daniele. Your gamble paid off.

Flèchet in brown velour felt. Not a wide brim, but it's okay.
No label unfortunally.

Mossant Imperial by Sools in grey (fonte)
Great hand on the felt, very mallable.
In great condition. Nice one. Only the stitching spots on the ribbon are visible, i don't know why that is exactly.

Yes, i really like this one. Incredible felt. You can shape it in any way without steam.

Thanks Randy. I agree with your observations, but I've been buying hats that aren't in my size for a while and I'm a little worried because I don't have room to store them.
Guess I'll have to sell some after petting it
A Borsalino made heather felt, what's not to like? Misto marrone is indeed a colour that was on the list, but to be fair it was only added recently, so not a colour we've seen a lot. Nice find, Daniele.Less bold than the "Chicago 1930 Years" this is a humble hat with a fantastic "Misto" felt

Travelled to the mountains today to see my expert hat man and got this excellent panama and hat case.
The panama is good because it was fitted to my head and chosen to best suit my face. They are specially designed panamas to look really stylish.
At long last l will no longer have to put up with my hat sitting on the back of my car seat at risk of getting damaged. This hat case will come in very handy. Any time l am out in the car it will come with me.

While looking for a plastic box at the $2 shop I was also lucky to find a bunch round boxes. Of course i'll be using these Christmas boxes to store my hats. Very handy indeed.
some Hat boxes in the `shoo room'
Received my pith helmet last night too, and what a beauty it is. I am going to dunk it in water and wear it properly; it is vintage so it should be up to the job. Looks good on me too.
Don't like hanging hats on hooks, don't want dust on them. Want to keep them protected. I know you blokes have more hats than i've had hot dinners and probably don't have room, but I do like hat boxes.
