Had a touch of snow today - wore my Open Road 25 as I shoveled the walk:
Tawny Fawn Campdraft today. For reasons unknown to me, it seems to be the warmest hat. Took this shot while petting the stray cats that come by .
Nice look boy ¡¡¡¡¡This is obviously not me lol, but this is my son wearing his new hat. I wish I could say it was great quality and expensive, but I couldn't swing it this year. That being said he has been wearing it for two days now even at home in his pj's lol. He did take it off at the mall cause he felt it would be rude to wear inside.
Thank you for the compliment .
SheBear74, it looks like your son's made it his own ! By the way, is that hat green?
Wow Alan, a 5x velour sounds very soft. The color of that Borsolino is unique. You don't see many that color. What is the color? Is it vintage or new? Anyway. Fantastic!
Thanks Dennis... the first picture shows the color quite accurately. This is one of a pair of 5X marque grand luxe Borsos that were originally owned by a prominent Chicagoan. The Marshall Fields boxes they came in have a delivery ticket attached from 1956. These might not be the original boxes for these hats, but I think 1950s is about right. Both hats have a rich colored, soft velour felt. The brown is a little heavier than the silver gray.
Hope you're managing with the snow today!
