Thanks, Steve, for all the information on the hat before it even arrived.Nice find, Matt.
Interesting it's originally from A.F. Bodecker's Stockholm establishment. Originally from Sweden, he learned the hat making trade during the mid-ish 1800s in various countries in Europe during the revolutionary years. Germany and France among others.
He finally ended up in Denmark. I have quite a few hats from his shops in Copenhagen, but none as yet from the Stockholm branch.
Looking forward to seeing more of that Borsalino velour once it arrives.

I can't decipher this ... it's pre-1958 based on the clothing store.

White vinegar.
Thanks Jim! I'll give it a shot.

White vinegar neutralizes the reaction, but I’ve never seen it remove the staining. Verdigris is a real pain to deal with…I’d love to know if there is a secret to removing it.
I found a San Antonio at a vintage shop several years ago with almost as bad a verdigris stain. I used white vinegar - diluted abit because I was skeered - and scrubbed with a soft brush. The vinegar should help break up the verdigris molecules and that hepls release them frm the felt.
I believe this weave style is called Yeddo. Very nice.Waiting for a Portis boater. It is woven in a completely different style than I've seen before, I think.

I don’t think I’ve seen verdigris clean up that well. Great job!
I'd say an unlined Cav/Mode/Guild or whatever edge Resistol called it, is a pretty rare hat.
