Thanks guys. That Arminto with under binding is a good catch. So many variations within the same felt quality/price point. There must have beten a sea of possibilities back in those days.

I had never heard of the model until a couple of months ago I picked up a 60's era 3X a couple of months ago with a six ply (two 3 play's stacked) and a three ply brim under binding. That led me on a quest to try and identify it. The Arminto is as close as I came.

Terry this pic is for the archives. Such a perfect display and being black, even more so! The black 3” incher suits you very well. Not sure why you worry about either. Many covet such a hat!

Thank you, Bowen! This one's definitely a favorite now. At first I couldn't get the brim to hold its shape very well because of how floppy it was. A couple of light spritzings of stiffener on the underside of the brim solved that issue and it's holding up very well and is keeping its shape. With its tall straight crown and wide 3 inch brim it kind of reminds me of a 'Poet' hat. I'm on the look out for another black hat.

Greetings All:
Today i was looking around for some Ten’ers and had to bring out the Old Mystery Black for another installment.
I wish i could tell you all more about it but then i’d have to rename it.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: as always thank you each for the kind words. Much appreciated!

Donning my own refurbed black Borsalino again this early A.M. for a Noir effect. I've learned that you don't want to discount black hats. I used to hate them with a passion but if done right they can turn out to be a pretty impressive lid...tall straight crown and a 3 inch snap brim on this one

I know I'm echoing, but what a great shape.

I took a trip south today, Mike Miller says Hi! Left the house in a Barbisio and came home in a new Navy Longhair with super duper gills. More pictures in the appropriate threads later.
