I love that one. CB quality in a unique hat is about as good as it gets.

Eric: Alan: That 7X beaver is some luscious felt. Beautiful and always a pleasure to see!

Thanks! I've had both the Intrigue and my 7X OR style refurbed at Optimo. The Intrigue was re blocked from a 7 1/4 down to my 22 1/8 size. Having this great felt return to fit perfectly was a thrill. Both hats get a lot of happy airtime.

Thanks, David. Both lids are in superb, exceptionally clean condition, with no moth bites whatsoever. I have not cleaned or steamed either hat as yet, and have only performed quick dry creases to both lids, and rearranged the wind-trolley on the Barbisio. I was very fortunate also in that both lids run on the larger side of 7-3/8(I usually wear 7-1/2), and fit my noggin as if custom made!

Delectans, Al; Wow grand hats and worn with confidence. I followed trails on the internet this evening looking into the Barbisio hat. That is quite a hat! Glad to see that you were out and about in the warmer MN spring weather.

Congrats, Eric -

My newest vintage fedora is this wonderful 50's Collins & Fairbanks with cav edge. Made by Disney for the famous Boston retailer of yesteryear. 2 1/4" brim in charcoal with uber wide silver grey band.
A rilico buy...and a new favourite. I may have a job for this fedora at a special occasion in October...

Eph: Stylish lid. I like that back bow and placement of the wind-trolley button!

Alan: Thanks! ;) Additional photos forthcoming.

Chinaski: I really appreciate your kind comments! The Disney 15 is a fantastic hat, but it was probably a bit unfair to pair it in the same post as the more flamboyant Barbisio.

Eric: Thank you! Hope you were able to get out and enjoy the splendid weather as well.

Love that new VS HB - I prefer it on you with the brim down like this.

Just got back from a nice little hike with our two Bostons. Here they are cooling off a little. My Campdraft is my favorite casual outdoor hat.
