    Borsalinos in Italy?

    I remember a hat shop at Trevi Fountain, but I don't remember it being a good shop. Via del Corso has some nice shopping, and I think I remember seeing a hat shop. There was a very nice (expensive) shop at the Straw Market in Florence (the same market with the bronze pig statue). The...

    What did I just buy???

    It was a case of throwing a bid in just for the heck of it. If I won good, and if I didn't win that would have been fine too. I think my max bid was $10. As long as he doesn't gauge me on S&H it should be a good gamble...

    I just won

    I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. I wanted to pick up another one.;) This is my favorite hat. Douglas, don't you wear a 7 1/4 (or 5 1/2 French)? Mine stretched up a size beautifully.

    Pelushe

    That is a great hat. I've been looking for a nice Barbisio, buy they either aren't my size or go for more than I can afford. When we lived in Sicily my wife and I would drive into Catania about once a week for pizza. We went to a tiny pizzaria in down town, then the gelateria around the...

    the serial number on a vintage borsalino?

    There are several threads discussing that. The serial number is usually two sets of five numbers. In some hats the first two digits of the second set is the year it was made. I think we are pretty sure that works from the early 70s until now. That might be true for other time periods, and...

    Ebay #1: Nice Hat, but looks right?

    I see tons of 7 3/8 hats. Now lately I've been looking for an inexpensive hat for my stepdad who wears a 7 1/2 to 7 5/8. I'm not having good luck.

    Lexol?

    Thanks. I guess I'm just looking in the wrong places. There is a Pep Boys in town so I'll try there.

    Lexol?

    For sweatband. It's been recommended here to treat the sweatband before stretching.

    Lexol?

    I am having trouble finding Lexol in this one horse town. Can anyone recommend another brand name product that will work as well?

    Military Hat Photos

    GREAT STUFF! I really enjoyed Bulgaria and Germany. I have tons of great pictues, but none of, or with, hats.

    Ebay #1: Nice Hat, but looks right?

    Looks good from where I'm sitting. Try it with the front down lower.

    60's & 70's Borsalino

    I think that only works for hats exported to the USA. I have two old Borsalino hats that have foreign store names with "Antica Casa" logos. I also have a new Borsalino (less than ten years old). It is soft, looks nice, and not very stiff at all. I'm not very experienced, but it looks like...

    That Stetson is sweet. And it's just my size too... (hint) Enjoy all of them.

    Stetson 4X to be given a new life

    So how much are we looking at for a conversion like that?

    Stetson Vita-felt

    Well you could fold it into a paper hat.

    VINTAGE FEDORA'S WHO'S BEST ?

    You would think they would find a safe way to work with mercury. Or maybe not... :offtopic: At one time mercury was used in the treatment of syphilis. "A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury"

    Hat Gift Certificates - Those Tiny Boxes of Delight

    I found a magazine ad for Knox hats in an antique store today. It was for the Christmas season so it highlighted these as gifts. One came in a bell shaped ornament, a Tom & Jerry came with a coffee cup, and a third one that I don't recall. Each one came with a gift certificate. I was just...
