Nice fedora! Y’all look swell together!
‘94, better times. No cell phones.

That is just stunning!

Where I get confused is this, are stetson still making hats like this and if so where can I get one? I agree that David's hat is absolutely gorgeous with a great ribbon and trim.


i find it “stunning” that this hat elicited the exact same adjective from the three of us. :D

Ooooh, now that's a beauty, David. Love it.

Very fine Barbisio, Marcel.
Thank you all! Much of the credit for this hats wow factor goes to @Randall Renshaw who refurbished it—and hand-dyed that purple ribbon!

Cheers,

David

Echter Borsalino possibly late 1920s early 1930s. I have no idea what this Soft Felt looked like originally. The felt is very thick and stiff which is not usually associated with Borsalino Soft Felts. I have no idea if this stiffness is a later result. The Sweatband was crumbling so I decided not to access the paper label. I haven't looked at this Echter Borsalino in many years but it's definitely interesting. It was made for the very well known retailer Carl Kellner Hamburg. I found this Soft Felt back in 2012.

Luckily the Crown Tip Patch survived.

I've had the hankering for a long hair fedora here lately. Usually wear a larger brim hat but every now and then I will go with a stingy brim and have several in my collection. My youngest son told me this one matched my hair so I just had to have it !! Biltmore Panda fur, made in Canada. The gold embossing has just about gone from the sweatband but I included a close up any ways. If I read correctly it says Canadian Panda ?
