Spent some time today brushing... scrubbing and steaming this Super Borsalino Antica Casa. As well as reattached it’s ribbon. What an improvement! Could use some more work sure... Not perfect.. nor will it be. But There is life left in this one still!! not a full casualty of the ‘Punic wars’ yet @Daniele Tanto HaHa

Looking great Joe. It’s amazing how well these old hats react to a little TLC.

Brüder Böhm "Luxor" possibly later 1930s. This is a Wool Felt from my May 2016 NOS Czech find. Soft and Stiff Wool Felt Hats were very common in Pre WWII Europe.

Interesting 1920s "The American Hatter" article. Mentions the popularity of Wool Hats in Europe. Also BB's machine making capabilities. By the way Tonak currently uses Cone Dyeing machines.

That’s got to be the best excuse for being absent that I’ve ever heard. Great hats, love both looks. The “Long Rider” is my favorite of the two. Enjoy your Sunday Michael, and that pastrami! YUMMO

That's style my friend!

Sometimes you just feel like it’s a red hat day. An Art Fawcett red hat windy day to be exact.
