It's been a while since I showed you a hat. I follow FL developments carefully and enjoy the new arrivals of new hat lovers and new headgear.

Today I show you one of my favorite colors from Borsalino in a hat that arrived in a bargain a few days ago

I'm sure I have this color in other Borsalinos, but its attraction is irresistible.
Borsalino Augusta in Mirtillo - Blueberry color

The size is 6 or 59 centimeters here in the EU, in the US the size is 7 3/8 although a little tight. Made in 1976
Premium quality felt with short fur finish.

I recently watched a documentary on the Great Depression. As always, I was fascinated by the hats. To me, your hat and crease appear very similar to many of those I saw in the video. I really like it and wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks for this comment. When I first decided not to send this hat back to Gannon to rework, the choice was motivated largely by looking at early 20th Century hat photos and noticing how many of those hats had a lot of side-to-side taper. I wanted to have something that reflected those times and I'm really glad you picked up on that.

Here is the final bash. I'm quite happy with it. Very small changes to the one I posted the other day, but I notice them and like this much better.

BTW, what was the name of the documentary?

I love the bash, I think it works really well with the overall dimension and style of the hat! Another great Gannon.
