Just picked this one up on the Bay from a great seller for $16 ($11 hat + $5 shipping)
Adam Premier Executive. It is my size, I'm thinking I can send it to Art to have it redone.

Update: Just arrived today! some starch and steam. The sweatband practically crumbled when even looking at it. Here are some pics of an amateur at the hats. Next is to order a new band. Doesn't look too hard. Maybe thinking of changing the ribbon and band to black. It looks very nice as the black one is a bit wider. What do you think? Also got some good news, I am coming close to my next VS as I heard from Art yesterday. Going with a lightweight silver belly.

Excellent find, Richard. A San Antonio of older quality is something I'm on the hunt for.

And Luis (upthread) - personally, I like the ribbon color combo w/ the sharks gill. However, if you decide to replace it, you can always send it to me and I'll put it on one of my hats. :eek:

After not being able to find the right Borsalino or Stratoliner I finally made one that sort of fits what I was after. This is a winchester Steel dress beaver with a 3 " brim that I gently pounced and washed out some color of. Vintage silk grosgrain are a bit lighter than I wanted but they're ok.
This color hat goes great with black or navy colors.
