What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Peach is also a fruit and the processing of the felt recalls the peel of the peach. This term is used in the language of Italian hatters to define a felt finish.
You asked yesterday why your Optimo melusine hat had such a color outside the parameters. The reason is the artificial light, that is the light of the house that illuminates you that alters the colors. Better you photographers in natural light, that is that of the day. I remember you, there is a device on your phone so you can photograph yourself directly from the screen looking at you and having the right sides, now you have the sides that are opposite to the real ones. The bow in men is on the left, women have it on the right :rolleyes:
I am technologically impaired, Daniele. Whenever I acquire new dental equipment, the installers have to go through everything several times.
I have looked in my phone, and can't find it. As many have pointed out, here and elsewhere, I am not a very patient guy. I got frustrated and felt like throwing the entire cell phone away, so I just stopped trying. [emoji2]

So I was going to do this to keep my secret identity...

...but I figured what the hell. Might as well be pot committed.

For a new guy you’re ok!
I like your style. That’s a fine hat and the overcoat is awesome!
But, shaving off your mustache won’t fool us. Some pretty sharp cookies here!!

Max, instead of a hat you could buy a cellphone and have a very short lesson how to take photos of you and your hats. I think it could be better to show your purchases ;)

This hat was found by Stefan on the Northern European market, although it was sold in Genoa, so he deserves credit and thanks

Borsalino Marca Colombo. Size 6 1/2 or 7 1/2 US and 60 cm. in EU

Color is "Angico" which is a wood, no other indication on the paper label

It is a vintage Borsalino, probably from the 40s, in the immediate post-war period because some features bring it closer to the hats of the thirties

The thin felt has a "mano pesca" finish that is velvety and soft, very malleable to the touch.
It has been carefully restored by Fleur of Penumbra Hats in Netherlands

I can tell you that it is one of my favorite Borsalino:)
Have nice Friday
Daniele: stunning color! Such a deep rich chocolate. Pics #1 an 5 really bring out the richness. Maybe next time we could see the liner for reference??
Thanks

One of my absolute favorites of yours Justin. The looks you are sporting of late are really spectacular, wish I could pull it off.


Made me chuckle this morning. Super nice Derby, looks to be in stellar shape.


Both great Gannons Eric. But that silvermist...just wow!


Good to see another classic looking Homburg. Love that Mayser Stefan. Is the Dunn & Co. from the 50s?


Great brim curl on that Royal Perry. Like the shirt and sweater combo.


This is exactly the hat I've been thinking about for my next custom from Mike Miller. Very nice Bob.


Made my morning seeing the beautiful toned black cherry. Thanks Rodolfo.
Thanks, Mike. I think the Dunn is fifties; by the early and mid-sixties the British hatmakers were in big trouble and the quality of the work was not as good. This one is by T&W Lees.

It is so good to see that one again and back to glory too. For a hat that's not my size (and I was very disappointed to find that out) it has found the best home an Italian hat can find. It certainly needed some work and I'm glad it can see the light of day again. Excellente!
