I have posted this Borsalino a few pages back, but since I'm wearing it this morning, oh well... Borsalino in Mirtillo probably very early 1960s. Felt is wonderful and quite light. I'll go stingy for at least a few hours today.

Just got this Carlos Santana. Don't know who is making them for him but they are built well. Nice price range $40-$140. I will be buying more.

Nice. Does it have a fancy Santana logo?

Inside on sweat band. They are made well. The ribbon is sewn top and bottom around the hat and the brim is nice and stiff to hold shape.

Very nice, if you are only going to have one, this is an excellent example. I love the "Rex" name.

Thanks, I don’t know what ‘rex’ refers to. By definition, perhaps a short hair rabbit.

Rex as in "King"!

Rex as in "King"!

That’s what I always assumed. And then:
rex
noun
\ˈreks\

plural rex·es or rex

• : an animal (such as a domestic rabbit or cat) showinga genetic recessive variation in which the guard hairs are veryshort, sparse, or entirelylacking — compare cornish rex, devon rex

Very nice, love the lines. Being from a famous hat store, a legacy hat.

Thank you! I had been wanting a Borsalino for some time. I knew when I learned Byrnie Utz was closing, I would finally get my first one from them.

Nice gray, interesting finish. Does it have one of those thin black sweats from this era. Probably 1960s, cool.

My tiny Cervino Stingy. Qualita Speciale, but very small for a 57 cm. I gave it a wide tear drop crease.

Here is a fuzzy Stetson Imperial as Pork Pie Stingy.
Originally had a center dent and probably sold as Tyrolean style hat, unfortunately no product tags.
Not sure if "Imperial" refers to the quality or is just a name.

Flechet Black velour.

For Stetson "Imperial" is a felt quality designation. One of the higher grades.
