Just for you, Doc.

Unparalleled felt, and it has a certain finish that gives it a shine difficult to photograph. I don’t make a habit of wearing grey hats on grey days, because it gets me down, but this baby lends a little optimism.

Excellent hats everyone the last couple of days. Sorry for not commenting on them individually, but just haven't had the time. These two were the firm favourites this week.
Danubia chamois

Tress&Co velour (sorry: Coypu finish)
View attachment 138523

Both look great. That velour is super cool.

I promised T Jones the pictures of an imposing black Borsalino with wide brim for his future conversion project, here they are
View attachment 138483
Borsalino Qualità Superiore. Size 6 or 59 centimeters or 7 3/8 in USA
View attachment 138484
The hat is not ancient, it is a product of the eighties sold in Germany by A Breiter - Munchen
View attachment 138485
It is very similar to the "Alessandria" model sold in the United States
View attachment 138486
These are the proportions: Brim is 7.5 cm wide, the open crown is 13 cm. and crease is 11 cm., the ribbon is 1.5 cm. The brim is edged with a thin black ribbon with a very fine workmanship
View attachment 138488
It is the only Borsalino sold in Europe I own with so wide brim. The felt is medium and malleable without steam.
Grazie for the yesterday likes on the endless "heather French" hats
Have a nice day

Superiore indeed, Daniele! Looks formidable with that downturned brim. Very nice.

Thank you, Bowlerman! I am in bed with a cold, but seeing your MGL makes me feel better. And you photographed it well.
Bowen says MGLs are "softer than a horse's nose", and it is a very apt description.
Thanks!

Now that is the ultimate definition of a black hat. Super look, makes a real statement Daniele.
