Both nice hats, AL - the Barbisio especially.
Did you have to do any cleaning, or was it ready to wear?
Cheers!

Thanks, David. Both lids are in superb, exceptionally clean condition, with no moth bites whatsoever. I have not cleaned or steamed either hat as yet, and have only performed quick dry creases to both lids, and rearranged the wind-trolley on the Barbisio. I was very fortunate also in that both lids run on the larger side of 7-3/8(I usually wear 7-1/2), and fit my noggin as if custom made!

Bravissimo... Looking forward to more pictures of that brilliant Barbisio.
To my eye those are both very special hats. Congrats, Delectans!
Delectans, Al; Wow grand hats and worn with confidence. I followed trails on the internet this evening looking into the Barbisio hat. That is quite a hat! Glad to see that you were out and about in the warmer MN spring weather.
Congrats, Eric -
My newest vintage fedora is this wonderful 50's Collins & Fairbanks with cav edge. Made by Disney for the famous Boston retailer of yesteryear. 2 1/4" brim in charcoal with uber wide silver grey band.
A rilico buy...and a new favourite. I may have a job for this fedora at a special occasion in October...

Eph: Stylish lid. I like that back bow and placement of the wind-trolley button!
Alan: Thanks!Additional photos forthcoming.
Chinaski: I really appreciate your kind comments! The Disney 15 is a fantastic hat, but it was probably a bit unfair to pair it in the same post as the more flamboyant Barbisio.
Eric: Thank you! Hope you were able to get out and enjoy the splendid weather as well.
