Bummer. I’ll keep an eye out for when you post details. I really like Beaver Brand/Langenberg pure beaver hats.

I don’t know anything about Borso’s but I have one now. It’s a fairly late model made for the US market, I assume. Another Bernie Utz hat. A shade over 2 5/8 x 5 3/4. Thin, fairly dense felt that’s soft and almost floppy. Nothing special but a pleasing block and light weight with good sweat will make it an easy wear. Appears unworn as the plastic tag is still attached.

Resistol Regent. This is the second one of these I've found. The other was brown.

Agreed. I feel like I’ve seen a number of hats on here from Johnstown, PA.

This Knox Flying Cloud was waiting for me when I got home today.
From the seller’s pictures, I was expecting light grey, maybe with a slight blue hue. I saw it briefly under natural light and it appears to be more a greenish hue.
There’s a lot to like about it. The size is just right. The 5cm brim is shorter than I usually wear, but I like how it looks on this hat. The crown is 10cm at the centre dent.
The brim has a custom edge, which I assume is the Knox version of the Cavanagh edge. It’s the first one of these I’ve seen.
The Flying Cloud liner is well known on the lounge.
It’s not all good, though. The brim is a bit wonky, but it is quite malleable and can be fixed when it’s worn brim down. It has a bit of a musty smell which I expect will go away after some time airing out.
The seller listed it as having some damage, but in the detailed description said it was in very good condition with almost no signs of having been worn. The wonky brim and the spots and staining belie that description.
I’m still quite happy with it. I’ve done a search on the lounge for spot cleaning tips, but will likely ask for more ideas on the Q&A thread in the coming days. I really do like this one, so I’m hoping I can get it cleaned up a bit.

Lincoln Hat Works - Lincoln, Nebraska
Milk chocolate - Medium Brown Felt
Approx 4 1/2 crown as shaped with “Dual Fire” crease
3/8 inch Tri-Cord ribbon
2 7/8 brim with 1/8 bound edge
A hat that had certainly seen better days… from a lesser known brand… in need of a new sweatband and covered in dirt… but somehow it just spoke to me. The felt while thin and dense is quite firm/stiff even in the crown… but shapes quite well with steam. The crown sports a sort of dual fire crease… almost like a slightly telescoped cattleman’s crease and was one of the things that really caught my eye. When I saw the photos though I immediately knew I wanted to try out a front pinch in addition to the crease… and I think it works. I tweaked the brim a bit… though I’m not sure I’m totally settled on this shape for it. I knew the sweat was fairly shot going in.. but I managed to sweat though and shrink up the old leather in today’s broiling heat. Oh well.

I bought this hat as it is for a winter project. Unfortunately, the brim is 3” and not the 3 1/2” the seller stated. It’s a great dark green felt of unknown quality. The seller never saw the hat with the Sweatband.
Here’s my conundrum: I told the seller the hat wasn’t as he had represented it and he refunded me and told me to keep the hat. I would feel bad selling it for a profit. If someone wants it for their own project I’d be glad to pass it on for the cost of shipping (less than $20 contiguous US).
