A Borsalino with a particular color on a sunny day

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 or 59 cm. US 7 3/8

Color is "Corteccia" and the ribbon is "Alpestre". Not so easy to catch the exact color, so there are different lights

Soft felt finished with short hair and pleated ribbon. Very malleable felt as most of the Borsalino coming from the "M Hutter" shop in Meran

The brim have a closing seam typical of Borsalino. One on the edge, the other on top of the brim

A heartfelt thanks for your likes and appreciation
Have a nice weekend

Good luck, Jim!

I'm in line at Les Schwab waiting 2+ hours to get my snow tires put on. I was hoping I could make it through this winter on all season radials but now they're talking about snow for a week.

1940s ? Champ keeping me company. Popcorn, fake news and diet Pepsi for entertainment...

Thanks, Doug!

Great Champ. Why doesn't Les team up with Charles? You could get your finances overhauled while you wait for your tires!!

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Greetings All:
Today....was running late and didn’t have time to decide on a proper hat. Probably never happened here before. Lol
Had a freshly laundered Bosalino ready to go but just didn’t go with the beasty jacket. Ha
So...grabbed the wooly flat cap. Willow likes wearing it anyway.
Be well. Bowen

For a couple of days it seems to be in spring, but as a popular proverb says: February, little February you're short and cursed. In my dialect it has rhyme, but it means that it deludes with almost pleasant days and then plunges into the absolute winter

Today beautiful day for a Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 1/2 or 60 cm. 7 1/2 US

Unlined only with a tip at the bottom of the crown

Color: "M. Stagno" with a heather felt of extreme softness and malleability. Like all the "Misto"it is predominantly white, gray and black.

To think that when I bought it, along with many others, was one of the least considered, it is now one of my favorite among the "Misto"

Have a nice day
Thanks for the likes on the "M. Hutter"
Superb hat, Daniele. Shows off the beauty of the Borsalino "misto" felts.

Thanks for the comments and "likes" on my hat posting the past couple of days. Grand hat parade from all posters.


"Captain Obvious," our local weatherman, warned us that we are experiencing a snow fall with additional measurable snow fall coming thru the day. Let it snow!

This morning I was removing snow in a vintage Lee Commentator. Excellent hat even with a dusting of snow.

Best wishes, Eric -
Fantastic hat as usual, Eric. I think you need to start worrying if the weatherman predicts immeasurable snowfall.

Today....it’s a fuzzy i’ve ignored. Last seen under @splintercellsz tutelage. Presents as old and gold.
Geo. Carter & Sons, London, English Velour.
Not usually my cup of tea but if it had more brim i’d wear the hell out of it!
Be well. Bowen
That's the nice thing about your collection, Bowen: it keeps turning out hats you didn't remember you had. Very nice English velour. It seems a contradiction, but shorter brims grow on you (well, they did on me).

Today's snow and strong winds finds me in a very odd situation of having the day off. Crazy weather of late. Around noon I was out working in a vtg. Stetson Stratoliner. Love the country/town appeal of this vintage hat. The vintage hat does not shirk from outside chores.

Just a bit ago I was wearing a vtg. Mallory for again some snow removal. I do really love the ribbon treatment on this fedora. We have been working hard. The hats and jackets are drying in our wet room and will be ready for more adventures by early evening.

I have removed snow 3 times so far. I just finished removing and filling the feeders. It takes a couple of the 5 gallon buckets to fill the bird feeders and then I need to tote out the sunflower seeds. Muck boots and snowshoes are needed for the bird feeder chores. Glorious!

Be safe all. Best wishes, Eric -
That Mallory is killer!
