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.
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.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, buddy!I'd like to add myself to the list who love the look of that hat.

They don't make 'em like they used to....That is a hat I'd walk to Buffalo for. Always a thrill to see it, Alan. It sure reminds me of the Arminto found here.
I gotta get another Borsa!No Playboy here, but this Borsalino Savoy has soft felt that molds like clay... clay furfelt, yeah, that's the ticket. Classic back ribbon on grey felt. Beautimous!
Ha! Thank you, Mike!Beautiful Playboy Richard. The color is so...creamy!
Two great Playboys this morning! Yay! Great color on this one too Jim. Nice.
Another convert to the Dark Side... Sure is purdy!
There's another vintage that's on my Bucket List. Looks like I'll be making my own version of one!Guess it's gonna be a Playboy kinda day.....

The wider pinches doesn't look bad on those Fed IVs. Looks pretty good.A day late Fed IV Carbon Grey
Mystery Black for another installment.
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.
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.

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
Whoaaaaa, freaking awesome look, Red. Very nice.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.
