Looks like it was made for you, Steve. Nice to see it in action. Take it for a sunny stroll in the park and let the eccentric Englishman turn some Danish heads.Okay, I think this beauty via Stefan is not just going to lie dormant in its box. I believe I can pull this one off.

Oh wow! Love it.....that bow! Wow!
Thanks, Mark! Would have been nice if it'd been a size 60.

An excellent group of Borsalino arrived last week. It was my spring sin 
All more or less used are hats produced quite recently. No one has indications of color, named with a number, neither the type of hat, but, fortunately, they do not have the golden mark on the bow
All are sized 59 cm. or 7 3/8 in US and they are, as always a bit tight, some are good for my head, others no. Let's say 50%
Grey Borsalino with lining
Qualità Superiore with contrasting ribbon and trimmed brim (5,5 cm) of the same color of the felt
Blue Borsalino without lining
Linea Seta with a black fantastic ribbon. Brim (6 cm) finished with a stitch. Very soft and light felt
Grey Borsalino without lining
Qualità Superiore, contrasting ribbon and brim (6 cm) under sewn. Very soft and light felt
Black Borsalino without lining
Qualità Superiore, contrasting ribbon and brim (6,5 cm) finished with a stitch
I worked a morning of steam, sponge, brush and skin cleansers. Work satisfies me a lot

YES....yes indeed!!!!!!
Not a sin at all, Daniele. But rather a work of mercy: this falls under both the corporal works of mercy numbers 4 (shelter the homeless) and number 6 (ransom the captive) and number 1 of the spiritual works of mercy (to instruct the ignorant - us, or me at least).An excellent group of Borsalino arrived last week.

Just received this one yesterday. Not a new hat, but new to me!! Royal Stetson from the 50's, in gunmetal grey. It looks all but new and wears well. I am really happy with it, and look forward to wearing it a lot.
Thanks out to Jonathan for a really nice hat.

NICE GET!!!!! Love the overwelt!!!
Robie: I think your choice of color will allow you to wear it with many other color of clothes. Very nice.

Stefan, I am aware of having been a good Samaritan for the four Borsalinos, but anyway I broke my vow to stay away from the hats and, knowing myself, I have already made other mistakes
I bought these Borsalino that belong to the non-lined and made with a soft felt, light and very suitable for mid-season. I have to confess they are better than I hoped and today I tried one and I felt it in agood way. I liked the colors first and then the way they are made when they were in my hands, before less

Hey!!! I got a NEW hat!!From Mr. Fawcett, (sniffed approval by Miles, but who amongst us doesn't enjoy the scent of beaver...?) in a semi-furry steel gray, black ribbon...
Truth be told, I thought I wanted a bound brim, but the underwelt really rocks, and I couldn’t be happier!

Yes, the underwelt is awesome. Most of my custom hats are underwelt. Looks regal on the top and the feel of the welt between your fingers is addictive. I always find myself caressing it. It should keep your brim nice and straight.
I liked the hat when I saw it. When I read it was from Art, I knew why. I can't imagine any situation when you couldn't wear this hat. Dogs know a good hat at first sniff. I like the lower crown. Many of Art's hats are taller (the Vintage look). Congratulations, this one will become a collector's hat within your lifetime.

Thank you, Dennis! I appreciate the kind words, especially your notice of the subtleties like crown height.
I am, however, concerned about your admission of subconscious underwelt caressing. Be sure to go clockwise underneath, and counter-clockwise on top. It's a St Albans thing, I think...
