Akubra Pilbara in Recency Fawn. I reshaped the crown with a teardrop, hand rolls, and a tight pinch. Finished with a Southwestern-themed leather hatband and charm.

Upon returning from holidays, a series of packages arrived in my absence, was waiting for me.
One I had given up for lost, another risked getting lost and others were waiting for me with their almost mysterious contents.

Three black hats, two certainly ancient, one is to be studied. Starting from the left: a Borsalino lobbia, a G.B. Borsalino bowler hat and a Flechet in black velour.
It is an anticipation, more news and photographs will arrive in the next few days.

A very classic Lobbia Borsalino in light and malleable black felt

Its peculiarity is that it was sold by a shop in Genoa, Sartoris, which has its own brand as a brand in the lining and not that of the Alessandria hat manufacturer.

Borsalino Qualità Extra Extra Superiore quality, the size measures approximately 58 centimeters or a 5 1/2 in the Borsalino measurement system.

There is no a tag size. and the internal measurements being 20.3x16.5 centimeters

From its features and dimensions: the curled brims are 6 cm., the ribbon is 4.8 cm and the crown at its lowest point is 10 cm seems to come from the 1950s

The paper label said us the type and nothing else, also because I don't want to force the sweatband which has some fragile seams

I haven't posted in FOREVER, but thought this was an appropriate occasion. I've been growing out my hair, head and facial, since the last time I posted. None of my other hats fit anymore, or look right on me, thanks to the long hair. I visited Jaxonbilt Hat Company last fall. Had a great conversation with the owners, and loved the shop. Roy fit me for a hat that I was inevitably going to order. Well, a few months later, I ordered it. It arrived yesterday...and it is magnificent! My first bowler.
