My first vintage fedora 1940 Borsalino
This is my first vintage fedora.i wear a size 7 3/8 and this one is a size 7 1/4 so i'll need to reblock it, so off to Optimo and i'll let them fix her up for me.I was talking with Kevin at Optimo on Vintage hats and he said buying one 1 size to small or 1 size to big and reblocking it should not damage the fur felt.It sure gives me some more options on finding vintage fedora's. I want a light to medium grey next.This vintage hat chasing is alot of fun !!!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ry=29 98&rd=1

Sounds like the hat is a good find, but the picture is a 404 not found for me. If you need help posting it, just email me.

Reblocking a hat a couple sizes too small or too large has really helpd me in getting vintage hats. If I had my druthers though, I would rather reblock a larger hat down to my size. I have gone both ways and it is just easier for me to downsize. Sometimes a smaller hat wants to revert, crownwise back to what it was. But, if you go only one hat size up in the reblock, you should not have any problems since one hat size is not that much of a difference. Fedora

Time Passages
Congratulations and hows that hat more then three years later ?
Time Passages Al Stewart & Peter White It was late in December, the sky turned to snow All round the day was going down slow Night like a river beginning to flow I felt the beat of my mind go Drifting into time passages Years go falling in the fading light Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Well I'm not the kind to live in the past The years run too short and the days too fast The things you lean on are the things that don't last Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these Time passages There's something back here that you left behind Oh time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn Don't know why you should feel That there's something to learn It's just a game that you play Well the picture is changing Now you're part of a crowd They're laughing at something And the music's loud A girl comes towards you You once used to know You reach out your hand But you're all alone, in these Time passages I know you're in there, you're just out of sight Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight Year of the Cat Al Stewart & Peter Wood On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolour in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat Well, she looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat Well, morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the new-born day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat
