1910s - VERY early 20s G.B. Borsalino

Notice the basting stitches, and how the sweat is attached in the front.

1930s Eakle

Hat has the Bon Ton Ivy sweat attachment.

I like the size mixup with the 7 1/4 label, and the 3/8 sticker, haha. Guess someone was having an off day

Interesting! I own a Borsalino Homburg, where the sweatband is fixed at the front in the same way.
It's from the early'50s, though. Is this to provide extra protection against sweating?

i believe it is a method of allowing air flow, like the crown vents in derbys and some lighter weight felts

Standard equipment from Borsalino... fascinating to see it in this early example.

Justin, They are really fantastic. Thank you for posting the photos. Looks they are from the same find so that makes 3 American market G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C hats. They are large sizes too. Do you know who ended up with them?

Can you please post them here when you find time? Thanks!

Another lovely heather felt: I like this Eakle fellow!

Thought I would revive this old thread with an Eakle contribution. It was great to find all this info on them.

1941 Stratoliner from Eakle.

Another top quality hat. Looks like Eakle did go for the best.

I've never felt a felt like it.
If it didn't have the added weight of the sweat band I think it would float away.
