Great looking panama Rick. Still not ready for those here.
Joao, that is a lovely color indeed, and the horsehair band makes it shine!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Thanks. Some people ask what is that hatband made of

 

[ManofKent]

David - great looking cap

Harv - nice Campy.

Andy - looks good. I've got three beasts and darker hats are definitely a magnet!

Sam - I like the proportions of that Wegener.

Javier - lovely rollable

Perry - that's a nice colour.

Rick - sharp panama

Terry - nice looking conversion, the ribbon works well.

Joao - yes great colour.

Borsalino Sfinge

Among my favorite Borsalino color names, it always inspires a photo in profile. That, and the wrinkles that remain from 50 years in a box are most noticeable head on.

Alan, Joao, Perry, Richard, Thanks guys. I really appreciate your feedback on the 3X OR conversion...

Alan, Love the Borso! Very crisp profile!

Joao,

Don't know if that is valid...

Why sure it is! A great big ol' smile is always valid!...(love the Stetson btw)...

 

[ManofKent]

Looks great Alan!

Alan, I don't know what color Sfinge means, but it's a gorgeous hat.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao - yes great colour.

And to think I bought it because of the hatband and ended liking it.

Joao,Why sure it is! A great big ol' smile is always valid!...(love the Stetson btw)...

But it's not yours. It's from someone who draw that smily.

Shorter brim for you Steve, I like it.

 

[mayserwegener]

Perry, Thanks! The brim is about 2 1/8 inches with a taller crown.

Sfinge is what Donna's family calls that Italian confection made from a honey dripped stack of fried dough balls.

But I think Borsalino meant this:

Saw Richard's /ManofKents Brenton, and had to get one.
This ones from Nauticalia not St James

[ManofKent]

Aaron, Perry - thank you.

Steve - lovely Borso.

Richard - looks good! I know them as Breton caps, but I think the Greek fishermen had something pretty much identical, and I'm sure there's a German name...

But I think Borsalino meant this:

More historical true, but less delicious.

 

[alanfgag]

Definitely true grit.

I'd say that sphynx needs a little plastic surgery.
