Max, Thanks! Yes I was very lucky to find this one and it to be such good condition.Dang! I can't find anything like that. All that ever shows up on ebay is tourist stuff. I wish that Stefan would find me one.

Joe, Thank you! Yes it's really green!Wow. What a green
Tim, Thank you! I think it might be in Czechoslovakian Crowns. I will see if I can figure out the conversion.Wow beautiful green ! Very cool invoice, not sure what currency that is, what would that dollar amount be in USD ?
Stefan, Thank you! I forgot your green aversion. This one will shock your senses!Well yes. One must keep up appearances even via zoom. Looking good sir

Thanks so much Steve... very much appreciatedWow, Joe! What a find, what a piece of history, and what a resurrection. Congrats all round
Oooh. I really do love that color combination. Looks great with your whole ensembleNumber 2 of the Dutch batch from the Dutch hat master. Borsalino Suprema.
Love the colour and dimensions on this one. A suprema Borsalino indeed. View attachment 232045 View attachment 232046 View attachment 232047
Excellent MikeInspired by Joe, this is Day 1 of my "31 Days of Hats" parade. In no particular order, mostly just what falls to hand each day. Today, I ventured out to Home Depot in a early 1950s Borsalino Featherweight. This hat has came from Anthony Amodio and the crease is his creation. Featherweight is a true description of this one, lighter than a popcorn fart!

My 30 Days to 30 Hats has ended. I’m excited to see Mike @Redfokker present his 31 day parade along with the Theme weeks from Stefan and Steve. My 30:30 may be over.. but I am left with some great hats that didn’t make the cut so I decided to present them in Overtime. Since it is my OT it will be my rules... and that means I won’t really have rules. I’ll just try to get to them as I feel like it. Maybe mix in some others as I go. So here we go with 30:30 OT:31
This medium brown Knox Flying Cloud I thought would be a great companion piece to the grey Knox Flying Cloud I picked up about a year ago.... which I really love.. The grey one is one with a “Custom Edge” (Cavanagh) and great feel to the felt. This one I think may be a slightly later issue as it has an underwelt brim and glued in liner typical of maybe a very late 60s early 70s release. It does however have the VERY cool flying cloud liner as does the grey one.. though less of a golden look to it. They both have 1 3/4 brims and this one has a slightly taller crown at 4 3/4... though I think it is just how they are bashed... open is probably about the same. This hat along with a Charcoal grey Charles Knox hatter I received... both originally sold at Jacob Reed’s Sons in Philadelphia from a retail price of $30 marked down to $15. A very cool little hat... and a nice start for The OT
