Thanks sir. Back at you - your hat rack has been growing fabulously.

Thanks Perry. Luck was with me on that hat acquisition.



Thanks sir. We have a mutual admiration society.



My engine runs high and fast. I am self-aware enough to recognize that I can become an irritant to those around me with my energy and intensity.



Thanks. A beer a day keeps the evil spirits away.

Administration/ paperwork was done mid-afternoon and I headed out to move a post while wearing a blue fedora.

This Monson fedora is a deep blue. The under brim pic captures the hue well.

The six gills are well done. I like the "puffier" gilled appearance. They begin with a wider gill and then a consistent size. Attractive I think.

The brim edge stitching is excellent.

Blue goodness!

Cheers, Eric -

Wow! Nice blue, stitched brim, gills. Like all in one!

Beautiful day like any other this week. Cold night and day gives us a blazing sun.

Today I had time to brush up on a Borsalino I wore once, maybe. It comes from the shop of "Matthias Hutter" in Merano and was brought to Verona a few years ago
Aureola Borsa 8.jpg
Because of me he got lost in the closet and today, accomplice the quiet morning I put it back on
Aureola Borsa 7 bis.jpg

Borsalino Qualità Victoria, size is 7 so a 61 cm. in EU and a 7 3/4 US, but it is a real 7 1/2
Aureola Borsa 3 bis.jpg

Felt color is "Aureola" (Aureole) and the ribbon is "Bulgaro". The felt is thick and malleable, the brim are curled in tone with the felt and the ribbon is brown, in contrast with the pale yellow of the felt.

I can say, with joy, that today I discovered this Borsalino arrived in a new old stock and for my short-sightedness remained all too closed in the closet:rolleyes:
I thank everyone for the comments and I congratulate you most warmly on the magnificent hats that every day you pull from every part of the world. Congratulations!

this Kid bought the 4 Seabass hats Mike at NW made for me when he had a few Lite felts from me last Wednesday
He was stumped as well but wanted the 30s and was Happy as i believe he wanted the air-lite

The CC I have has a logo similar to the one Blare posted. Yours must be much earlier.

Looks similar to the logo on this one Splintercellsz posted for sale some years back. View attachment 320372

Good pick up. That's it.

In Italy the name of this Borsalino is "Icaro" and it is very light and floppy. Ideal for the springtime or the first autumn.
I have two and they are perfect for days with a mellow temperature. Not now because we are in a "early summer" week. Too hot for the end of April :rolleyes:
Looks good, Rick. Can we see the label on that one? Don't think I have the "icaro" model yet.
Thanks Stefan! A few years ago I asked the question about this hat. It has no label or stamp but @Daniele Tanto helped identify the model.
Click on @Daniele Tanto thread above, there are a few pics of the hat and the liner.
