Not sure if anyone remembers this hat, which left a faded mark from replacing the ribbon with a smaller one.

I got some larger ribbons and went for a different style. I remember seeing an Art Fawcett hat a while ago with an amazing ribbon style, which inspired me to come up with this. Nowhere near as good as Art's but it may hold me over until I can save up some dough.

Courtney Stratoliner. How they got away with calling it that I don't know, but it's a very nice hat.

Ota, no one can accuse you of being timid, that's for sure. Keep up the adventurous modifications. It's all about the fun of it, after all.

C. G. Wilke (Guben) Melone, size 59cm. I am thinking 1930s. More details in the German - Austrian and Bowler - Derby threads.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Borsalino Alessandria which I purchased from "Bond" here on the forum. I received it Monday and wore it out for the first time last night (Masonic Rites) at a funeral visitation. The color is dead on in these pictures and the quality of this hat is fantastic.

Terry, lookin' sharp.

I notice in the second picture that the pinch is a ways off to the right of center. Do you prefer to wear it that way? I ask because I tend to wear a few of my hats off-center on purpose. I love a touch of chaos.

Supernatural Mini Milan

Supernatural Ecuadorian Panama Hat Co. Milan.

Softer than most modern Milans, this one dates to the early 50's by its OPS price tag. Child size, it is 54cm. or 6-3/4.

That sweatband, tip sticker, and logo are the exact same as my Milan that I'm wearing today. I find these 40's/50's Supernatual Milans to be very "dense" in their weave. They seem to be a pretty high quality tight Milan weave, or at least I think so. Cool find. Too bad its so small...

Robert and Jason, very nice new Hats. The summer can come. My Congrats.

60's hat, but the brim and binding is nicely executed.

Well, my life is usually filled with chaos but actually, I just put the hat on crooked (new hat inexperience) prior to my friend taking my picture! LOL. I usually use a mirror but I was in a hurry before we lost the natural light. My buddy was an inexperienced camera man and blurred most of the pictures. I find that my iPhone camera does an excellent job and is usually all I need.

Thank you very much for a great "buying experience" here on the lounge. I've purchased several hats from several loungers and they have all been great!
