Wow and wow!!
Nice. That's one of the hats I have on my bucket list. But, as I said before, ...too bad I'll probably kick that bucket before I ever get one.My new to me 1950s Borsalino Alessandria today

Yeah, that is one gorgeous Cavanagh and a wonderful crease!
Yes, character. The felt pretty much do what the felt want to do on this one.
Perfect hat, Red. Think of how much time and money you would have saved if you had stopped at that one. Ha ha.
A beast indeed. Not a good warm weather hat.
Thanks Stefan. A bit of '70s maybe. That's when the jacket is from I think.
The bellbottoms are pre-disco. Navy surplus would be the ticket. I think the jacket might be from around the beginning of disco though. The Champ does keep coming out of his corner whenever the bell rings. And I think he's seen a few rounds.
A nice lineup again today. And yesterday. Felt mornings and straw afternoons? That's what it has been like around here. You sure have some nice hats.
A thin ribbon Borsa? I've seen a few of them on eBay at one time or another. I think Max got this one from Anthony. I've always wanted one but never had the money to get it.
This ad blocker I just downloaded for Android seems to be working out okay so far. So far.
I did, Terry. Never woulda thought of it on my own... Well, maybe in some years. When I was deciding whether to go all in on Anthony's sell-off, Brent @deadlyhandsome told me that the sting of the expense would recede, but the hats would last a lifetime, and more. He was right. The hats have made me feel richer than the money would have. I love rubbing my chin in the morning while thinking "well, whose turn is it today?"
This IS A HAT!!
It sure is a dandy of a hat.
Outstanding Max! Your poor Optimos must be lonely.My new to me 1950s Borsalino Alessandria today

Sounds like a cool barber shop set up. The only thing that would make it better would be a shoe shine stand! I want this here in Oregon. That hat must have caused quite a stir!Afternoon haircut with the Montecristi. My local barber shop happens to also be attached to a Stetson / Dobbs hat shop. "Mad Hatters Brim Shop and Shave Parlor". It's a tiny vintage era 2-chair barber shop in the center of old downtown Georgetown where you can pour yourself a whiskey from the bar or grab a cold beer from the fridge at no extra charge. Walked in today for my haircut with the Santa Fe Montecristi on top. My barber stopped dead in his tracks and his mouth dropped open. Whoa, where did you get that one, he says. He asked me at least 5 times if I would sell it to him, all the time wanting details about the hat. Really nice place, excellent Barber, and always get to talk hats while getting a great haircut and shave. Nope, did not sell it.

That Cav is just crazy Greg. This crease sends it to a whole new level. Wow!
Oooh, I like the color of this Milan. What did Mike do to spiff it up? Nice pug.Out running errands in the Leone Capelli Milan that Mike Miller repaired for me. Only 89°F today. Whew!

Wearing a boater in today's culture is a real statement! You look great, rinse and repeat!Happy Tuesday, gents. Here's my response to Alan's admittedly better Stetson straw. Still trying to master the art of taking hat photos, like you guys do. 90+ degrees today, this 1940's boater keeps me cooler than that Sea Spray straw. Glad I made the switch. This one takes a bit of courage to wear, though

First world problems.
I would never take this one off Bill. Love it.
Such a sweet Gannon Jay! Looks like it fit right in.
