Worth it for the case alone. I like how flat the brim curve sits.

Nice catch. The hatters from Monza were known for their skills with woolfelt and mixed felts. This is a nice example of a Monza hat.
Mossant Bayard in the colour gris blanc (white grey). The hat is in fact much more sand/tan coloured though. Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Very soft and pliable felt, which reminds me of Dalton felt. Unlined and I don't see any remnants of one. No traces of glue from a crown patch either. Quite lightweight at 94 grams.
Pascal&Cie bowler hat. Size 56 with the brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 12cm. Runs somewhat small for its size, but a well made hat.
Pascal&Cie was located in the Rue du moulin in Bruxelles and that's all I can find about the maker. The inside of the sweatband has a "marque deposée" stamped on it with the letters Th. C.C.V.
It was sold by Edw. Jorgensen in Odense, Denmark. Steve @Steve1857, who found this hat, couldn't find more information about the retailer either, so it is a bit of a mystery.

Borsalino Gufosca homburg in black. Size 56 with the brim at 6cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. A sleek looking homburg with a great hand to the felt. Do I need another black homburg? No of course not, but I wanted this one anyway and I didn't even know it. Thanks @Steve1857 !
Another Borsalino, that also came in from Denmark, is this one. Thanks @Steve1857 !
Borsalino Cobalto fedora in a size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Lovely deep blue colour to the felt and a great hand. Early seventies hat.

Another wonderful Mossant find, Stefan.
You're welcome, Stefan. I'm so pleased these hats have found their rightful home. I'm even more pleased that I could find hats for the FL's greatest enabler.Another Borsalino, that also came in from Denmark, is this one. Thanks @Steve1857 !

Looking forward to seeing them in the rotation.
Thanks, Steve. I'm surprised myself that there are still so many hats that I want! They'll find a spot, but they're up against some serious competition.

Borsalino Ecosam
According to the label size 5, in the sweatband is printed 6, the sellers measurments are: 20 x 17, (but i don't trust this), so i hope 6 is correct. Not received it yet, so pictures from the seller.

Hopeless measurements from the seller, Marcel. But maybe somewhere between a 5 and 6 punti.
Fingers crossed
Thanks Stefan. It was the leather case I was going for. Luckily though, the Gibus seems to fit after all.
Still have to find out how to work the mechanism.

Worth & Worth in a medium dark blue. A generous 6 5/8” open crown and a 3 1/2” wide raw edge brim. I wouldn’t have chose the bow style for this hat, but I’ll leave it alone.
Love the blue, Brent. Let the bow flow.
That's a bonus, Steve. They work fairly straightforward: just press the top of the hat against your body holding the brim with both hands to flatten the hat. To open it up hold one edge of the brim and just give it a tap against your hand, so there's nothing in the way for the crown to open up again. Seems a bit daunting at first, but it was made to do this.
Nice find, Brent. Great colour and I kind of like the bow style; it's something different.

Great hat. The bow is cool, unique. Almost looks like a trio of some kind of moth. Hope they’re not hungry.
Stefan, thank you so much. Just did it, worked like a treat.
I feel like an idiot. I should have known this.

Thanks, fellas. It’s more hat than I was expecting and I’m very pleased with it.
