Hello my friends,
its been awhile but isnt it amazing how the hat bug suddenly catches and its hard to stop? it happened to me
here are the two i won this week.
the first is a knox grey premier
the felt is nice ive never handled anything quite like it, its soft and smooth. THe hat said it was a size 7 when i am a size 7-7/1-8 but the hat did not fit at all! more like a 6 7/8 so i got to looking at the sweat band and it turns out someone had put some pieces of foam in there making it much smaller than it actually was.
the second is a chocolate colored borsalino derby. although i havent received this one yet it says
"Qualita Suprema Borsalino Allesandria Italia" on the inside liner. I cannot post pictures from the auction but here is the finished link.
