Sorry about “the look”. I was merely in deep concentration mode trying to figure out how to hold a phone for a hat selfie. I’m new to this tech stuff. My last phone was a Motorola Razor. Serious! LOL. Are there any tips on how to correct my sideways Avatar pic ?
It’d be more correct if the pic was backwards! [emoji12]
Thanks for all of your likes and comments. This place is very accommodating. View attachment 189275
Anyway, here’s just another OR from the late forty’s or early fifties. I’ll be wearing it to church tonight.
Maybe y’all can help me pinpoint the birth of this hat closer.

I stretched it an eighth to fit my one quarter noggin with no damage to the hat and the crown is yet plenty square. The 8th inch tag has ten dollar price. Wow. No money could buy it now[emoji7]

'51 - '53. But that's not an OPS tag, it's just a price tag. OPS tags have O.P.S. printed on them.It looks like it has an O.P.S. tag which, I think, makes it a 50-53 model. Brent @deadlyhandsome help me out?

A very aristocratic Mallory, Bill. Great contrasting and complementary colour on the brim binding. I particularly like the way you matched your shirt to it. Knock out hat.Pre Stetson buyout Mallory "The Dallas" this morning for services.

You seem to have a well of enviously desirable Borsalinos B. Cudos to another one.View attachment 189286 View attachment 189287 View attachment 189288 View attachment 189289 View attachment 189290 Greetings All:
Today....another Gorasgu Borsalino. The felt of this Palladio grey marvels me more probably than any hat i have. It is probably the thinnest, lightest, most dense felt with a consistency of color and texture of any hat i own. How the makers could fashion such a thin layer of animal hair into a uniform, homogenous hat body boggles my mind. To say moldable is an understatement. The weight of the air nearly collapses the crown.
A vast departure from the earlier posted long haired Gorasgu’s.
Be well. Bowen

You're so welcome, Randall. Sounds like you have a great collection. Post away and see who you can trade with.Thanks a million, Steve.
Don’t have as many nice, vintage personal lids as you all have, but I love the fabulous Fourteen I do own. I’ve accumulated around twenty vintage fedoras (mostly sixties stingys) that don’t fit my head and wouldn’t mind trading all of them for just one of the beautiful toppers I’ve seen at the lounge...just today, for instance. Never knew so many mint condition early felts existed.
Zoom function, not good peepers!Ah, yes sir. Your eyes are better than mine today!
I'd say yours is post-'53, but almost certainly pre-'60.Thank you for y’all’s dating info.
