Wow, some incredible, amazing hats today, all. I'm going to have to step down to third string, you guys are way out of my league! You keep posting and I'll keep dreaming!

Ps, Bob; I'm only counting 99 X's :)

That sure is a lot of X’s. Very nice Bob!

Echter Borsalino "Bismuto" "Sanboca" date stamped May 17, 1929. The Berlin store Max Eckard that sold the hat did not survive WWII. This hat is in mint condition and one of three Echter Borsalinos from my April 2015 find.

The carton the hat was in is from a Berlin hat store Philipp Neubauer Berlin that survived WWII but not the locations listed.

Cork spacers that were in the hats. I failed to note which hats they were associated with.

I agree (at least on my face, head it’s too late lol) and is grow it back immediately except the in between stages SUCK. Maybe some day.

Yeah, those in-between stages can be a little awkward. Same on the head, I’m letting my hair grow long, and going through that phase now. I always said when I retired I was going to grow it long like I wore it in the 70’s, but I decided to do it now while I still have it. Seems the office is loosening up on appearance nowadays anyway, so nobody seems to care.....

My wife turns seventy next Tuesday. Actually, she's eighteen but 52 years have got in the way. When I asked if there was anything she wanted she said: "Yes, you can get me a Baileys."
Now we have rocked our socks off at The Crazy Horse Saloon in Nashville, but somehow I just don't see her wearing a Bailey hat, there again I thought that an XBox was an old carton folded up, as in an ex-box. Do you think that she might mean this?
