Tom-Rusty, if a guy didn't know better he would think you guys were kin with those CDs! :eusa_clap
That is a superb outfit.As for me, I gave a chance to my brown bowler. I think it very properly complemented the (new-for-me) plaid suit (more pics in the "What are you wearing today" thread).
It is a modern production "Beaver Brand", decent enough if you accept they do not shape them as they did of yesteryear...
Nice! Is the brim stitched?
Now that it's cooling off I can work a few more hats into the rotation. This 1940s Borsalino is soft to the touch and pleasing to the eye. It's also very comfortable. I got this hat more than a year ago. The picture was taken by the Lounger who sold it to me. He managed to capture the color (something I haven't been able to do). Ah what luxury ...

Thats a beautiful Borso Steve!!! That style is still my favorite, the high crown, center dent, big front pinches, 2-2 1/4 inch brim, flat front and higher flanged/curved back. It looks like a raw edge, is it? If it is, the only thing to make that a perfect hat in my mind would be a 2 1/8 inch ribbon. But like I said, gorgeous lid. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
Me too Rob. It's been well stored. Though I do have a 60 year old Stetson panama in wonderful condition. What's another 40 years?
