Hope you get a reply and that it is your size Brent. If it's mine instead, let me know.

Looks like colors that could be found on a duck, so my wishful thinking guess is a Game Bird.

Another mystery hat. Who knows, after a naptha bath it might be alright. Poor photos and a poorer description.

Thanks, Héctor. All he could tell me was that the inside circumference was 24 inches. We’ll see if it can be resurrected. I’m still bummed about missing out on the 7X CB I found on Craigslist.

I’m not sure. The seller won’t take my call or reply to my emails. Who knows.

You're not averse to a challenge, I believe (I've seen the boater you're working on). Curious to see the resurrection pics of it once you're finished. You could call it the Lazarus hat for now

Anyone familiar with the Borsalino model “The Rollup?”

Cool
That's a new one on me. My guess is that it's a coffin box hat (those are usually "extra extra superiore") and the name was chosen as an extra selling point.

Thanks, Stefan. So, sort of a western version of the pocket hat? The six cord ribbon was different to me as well.
They do use corded ribbon on some of their hats. I have a few with five cord ribbon and one with six cord as well. Size 7 is it?

You have way more experience with Borsalino and their variations than I do.
The seller said it was 23.5” in circumference, and she accepted my offer of half her asking price. I figure that if I buy them right I’ll either have a hat that fits and I love, or I’ll be able to flip it without loosing money.
That's sound reasoning, Brent. I don't think you'll go wrong with that Borsa. From the ones I own, the ribbed ribbon ones are the extra extra superiore and the lightweight ones. If it's in half-decent nick it'll be a winner.

For those playing the Guess the Mystery $6 hat...we were all wrong except for those being facetious. Dobbs was the leading guess.
No moth damage and no stains. 2 3/8” felted edge brim. 5 1/4” open crown. The disappointing, but not surprising, part is the size: 6 7/8.
The liner and sweat are marked Rogers Peet. The felt is quite wonderful.
And Under the sweat the mystery is revealed:
Not a 100, but it is a Mac Lachlan! Anyone interested?
