Two Vintage Borsalinos (feather weight & velvet) for trade for SPECIFIC items.

This is likely futile...but:

I have two vintage Borsalinos, (true) Punti 6 (7 3/8) that I would like to trade for some glaring deficits in my line-up.

First, the Borsos, both have felt so fine & supple they could take a different crease every day.

The featherweight, as thin & light as a butterfly's wing. Awesome felt!



Second, the Velvet finish, this one feels like a cross between the world's finest hat & Pooh Bear. It is SO sweetly soft that words are inadequate.



These both sport 2.5" raw brims & 6" open crowns, neither looks to have much wear, neither has any moth or waterstain problems. Both are just lovely hats.
But I have some holes in my line-up to be filled. I am looking for vintage, (brims 2 3/8" or wider & prefer thin ribbons) in a size 7 3/8 or 7 1/2:

Whippet
Playboy
Clear Nutria
Vita-felt
Three-way
Imperial quality OR
Ultra Lites, Hank-a-chiefs, featherweights, tissue weights, zephyr weights, bantam weights
Beach Comber
Flagship
Foreign made Stetsons under license.
Any brand (except Stetson & Resitol) 100
Hoyt Hat's Demon Hanover
Knox Vagabond
Gay Baron
Gay Cavalier

...that's all I can think of just now. I know this is likely a quixotic quest. Not my first.
I'll try this a few days & then ----> off to eBay.
Please PM me here if interested. Thanks.

Okay, before we get into 'picture' mode, let me tell you what have, what's wrong with it, and then move on. I have a vintage Knox Vagabond, medim gray, 2 3/4 brim, 3/4 ribbon in 7 1/2. The problems: There is a tiny pin-hole in the crown and there is flaking on the band. I'm interested in the feather weight. If I haven't scared you off, let me know!

Regrets, but

...both sound like deal breakers.
Sorry but I am really looking for something in comparable condition.
Thanks.
