Borsalino (French market)
Fruno "made" me buy this. It came yesterday.
He and I both thought it was a homburg from the pics on the eBay. It ain't.

Good to see you, Mr Barnes. Hope you are well. That's a most unusual and beautiful hat. Damn Fruno!

The temperature dropped ten degrees in a day
So I can wear without problems the French felts arrived two days ago
Flechet without lining that had to be sold in West Berlin, but never reach the destination
Heather felt is soft and very malleable, it is deep grey with some pale grey and blue
As most of the France production of the last fifty years the ribbon is a little bit fancy, but interesting
Have a nice day and thanks for likes and appreciation
Yesterday was a hat so big that was hard to get in frame.
Today was another hat some people want to destroy.
And later I stole Boss Hogg hat.
From this morning, grey OR.

Took a chance on this on eBay and got lucky. Really sweet felt with one of the smoothest finishes I’ve laid hands on.
Apparently he was a custom hatter in the late 90a early 2000s. There are a couple of short threads on FL

That's gonna look good, I think.Wearing a gift from a fellow Lounger who wishes to remain anonymous. My thanks to him for the hat. This is a Culo Brutto Borsalino in black. It's my next project and is already on the block. The felt is real nice and the detailing is second to none. I'll be reusing the original ribbon work and brim binding. There's plenty of hat here to work with and it should make a very nice conversion. I'll be squaring up the crown from its previous very tapered form. It has plenty of open crown height, (somewhere between 5 3/4 and 6 inches tall), and a 3 inches wide brim. I'm not a black hat fan but I may make an exception with this one when I'm finished. I'll have more in the Conversion Corral when it's completed...
Thanks Jeff, it's a Pendleton. Sweet Black Cherry hat you got there.Looks great, Perry! I like the shirt too.
