I think it’s maybe 3 or so…. But they are some of my most favoriteThanks Joe—you are the guy that seems to have the most of those 1930s hats…

Gorgeous hat, Mark. Great shape and colour.Threw some slight crown shaping in; looks good whether stock or fedora, I think.

Cool find, Marcel. I would have guessed it older than it actually is. Probably because of that nice wide ribbon.Borsalino sold by Bubani in Ravenni 1976 in the color Argento.
The hat came in like a disaster, so needed a lot of steam. Finally it turns out like a very well Borsalino View attachment 637224 View attachment 637225 View attachment 637226 View attachment 637227 View attachment 637228 View attachment 637229 View attachment 637230 View attachment 637231 View attachment 637232 View attachment 637233
Well if you are going to fall off the wagon it might as well be for a fine hat like this. Scott&Co made some wonderfull hats. A beauty!I’ve been on the wagon for most of the year—bought myself a Whippet for my birthday but that’s it. Until a couple weeks ago. I’ve always wanted a dove gray 1930s fedora with a 2” ribbon and raw edge—as seen in movies like The Thin Man and different Cagney and Gary Cooper films, and also familiar from pictures of the Depression and WPA. Anyway—I saw this and couldn’t resist. Just arrived today and I’m thrilled. It’s also my first English hat. Nice thick felt for keeping off the rain and fog. Now back on the wagon for me!
Cheers,

Thanks Stefan, i agree about the wide ribbon. Looks very vintage.Cool find, Marcel. I would have guessed it older than it actually is. Probably because of that nice wide ribbon.
Eek!!!! That was a badly DIS-respected hat! Terrific job bringing it back to its former glory!Borsalino sold by Bubani in Ravenni 1976 in the color Argento.

I thought for damn sure…. But wasn’t gonna say anything. Double score!!!!!Great googly moogly!!! I should have trusted the camera, and not my own eyes, as the camera wasn’t fooled by all the smoke in our skies of late.
The Stetson Westerner IS navy blue!!! Wore it outside today, in clean, clear skies, and it was quite obvious. BONUS!!!

Indeed! And a very pleasant one! A rather startling reminder, however, how hideous the sunight has been around here with all the fire smoke.Awesome surprise, Mark!
Very handsome hat, Randall. And all your goodies in one place, looks amaaaaaaaaazing! SO jealous!Don’t know a thing about this foreign hat, except it looks great and is well made.
Jonathan says it’s probably something Steve and Stefan @Steve1857 @steur could shed light on. View attachment 637842 View attachment 637843 View attachment 637844 View attachment 637845
Plus: a few pics of my freshly built hat shop. Was working in different rooms of the house. This dedicated space will be sweet!!

Haha—thanks, Randall!What a great hat!
With my eyes squinted and my head greatly tilted you even look like Gary Cooper!
Hey, lengthy wagon rides are a bore anyway.
