Greetings All:
Thanks to all for your likes and kind words of late. I appreciate them all.
Today it’s a favorite Borsalino Nutria 2X Feather Weight. No tags for color and model. A very thin obedient felt with a very demure felted welt. The liner is a bit unusual. I enjoy wearing this one often.
Be well. Bowen

What a fine hat! I don't know if I've ever seen a Borsalino Nutria. The jacket is killer, and is a good match for the hat.

Hey all!
This mushroomy-colored Young's from the 40's came to me a few years ago tattered, beaten and partially eaten. Not only had moths chewed through it in several spots, but what was left of the ribbon and brim binding looked as though mice had carried off the rest. The thrift store manager just gave it to me because it was in such bad shape. It was one of my early refurb projects, so a good learning experience.
It has been sitting around unworn for quite a while with a hand-stitched brim binding I wasn't happy with. Last night I decided to try something different. Dyed up a grey ribbon with just a touch of brown in the mix. Pulled off the binding, made a nice simple bow. I noticed afterward there were a few small flaws in the dye job, but not enough to really bug me so I left it alone. Tried to iron it flatter, but this old dead felt is just wants to be lumpy so I gave up and just let the hat look as thrashed as it wants.
I like how a brown tibbon on a grey hat looks. The opposite isn't bad either!
A Young's, young no longer... but still kicking!

Thanks DD: i don’t recall ever seeing a Borsa in Nutria either. Scarce i guess. I always think of Nutria as bulletproof but this felt is right up there with some of my best. And to think it got by all you all! Keeper!! The jacket is a cheapo Gap Trucker from 91’. Go good with your stuff.
Be well. Bowen
