Bill, have you ever looked for any date code on this one? The Switzerland hoods are supposed to be early with Peters Bros & their association with Amon Carter. Info is so hard to come by.

No date inside this hat. Brad Peters identified the liner as being from the 60s. The liner is not the typical Shady Oaks liner. Brad told me the Switzerland hoods were used into the 60s. He also said this was technically not a Shady Oaks but is a full beaver Shady Pines. In order to get a 100% Shady Pine (which was normally a 50% beaver) a customer could order a Shady Oak Bankers Special One Hundred with a wider brim. And that is why the sweatband has the Bankers Special One Hundred information.

Here is the liner.

Color is "Mirtillo" type is "Mula" sold in Sofia in the "Simeon Zlateff" shop probably in the end thirties or early forties

The felt is very velveteen of medium weight, there is a wind cord without button as in the old Borsalino

For the seekers of the "paper label" tells history of Borsalino, this is not celled :( even if the interior is of the era of the Steve research

The Lobbia came in excellent conditions until the second millenium via London.
Thanks for the likes and words about the Borsalino "Faunosca"
Buon lunedì!

I find I have a serious deficiency in green hats. Had to settle for a green ribbon.

It's time to start cooking some corned beef, I guess.

I wouldn't call that a deficiency, but a blessing. That could be just me though:D. Black velour with a green backbow ribbon: very much a trachten style.
