What hat are you waiting for today?

Do you know when the “Original House” markings stopped? Maybe @steur or @Daniele Tanto can assist with this.

Interesting question. Obviously it was only done for the American market. Have to look into it, but I'd say somewhere around the late seventies they probably stopped using it. The Marque Grand Luxe hats don't have it, but they weren't exclusieve for the American market, I think. Have to look at some more modern American market hats to be sure.

Sorry Brent, I have no ides when it was discontinued. The Borsalino production for USA and Europe, Italy was a "special" place in Borsalino products, was complettely different

I figured you would go for this hat. I stayed out of it, but I’m excited to see it when it arrives.

The light binding will no doubt be polarizing:

I like it too.
I wonder if the hairs on the back of Max’s neck are standing up…his Optimo radar is pretty sensitive.

Now you mention it; it's been a while since he was around isn't it?

I think he stops by with some frequency, but he doesn’t post much.

How about David @jonesy86 , has anyone heard from him lately?

Ironically, I heard on the radio today it's the anniversary of the debut of that Whitesnake video.
