Mirror photo?

Yes, mirror image.

Twenty Five today.

Bolthead, that looks like a really nice 25!

I love that one. CB quality in a unique hat is about as good as it gets.

Eric: Alan: That 7X beaver is some luscious felt. Beautiful and always a pleasure to see!

Thanks! I've had both the Intrigue and my 7X OR style refurbed at Optimo. The Intrigue was re blocked from a 7 1/4 down to my 22 1/8 size. Having this great felt return to fit perfectly was a thrill. Both hats get a lot of happy airtime.

Disney 15 & Barbisio Lugano


Disney 15 Cavanagh Edge. Landmark Center, St. Paul.



Brunch at Meritage, St. Paul.



Barbisio Lugano, picked up from the seller today.


Will post more detailed photos of both hats in a few days.

Both nice hats, AL - the Barbisio especially.
Did you have to do any cleaning, or was it ready to wear?

 

[delectans]

Thanks, David. Both lids are in superb, exceptionally clean condition, with no moth bites whatsoever. I have not cleaned or steamed either hat as yet, and have only performed quick dry creases to both lids, and rearranged the wind-trolley on the Barbisio. I was very fortunate also in that both lids run on the larger side of 7-3/8(I usually wear 7-1/2), and fit my noggin as if custom made!

Bravissimo... Looking forward to more pictures of that brilliant Barbisio.

To my eye those are both very special hats. Congrats, Delectans!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Delectans, Al; Wow grand hats and worn with confidence. I followed trails on the internet this evening looking into the Barbisio hat. That is quite a hat! Glad to see that you were out and about in the warmer MN spring weather.

Congrats, Eric -

Collins & Fairbanks, Boston

My newest vintage fedora is this wonderful 50's Collins & Fairbanks with cav edge. Made by Disney for the famous Boston retailer of yesteryear. 2 1/4" brim in charcoal with uber wide silver grey band.
A rilico buy...and a new favourite. I may have a job for this fedora at a special occasion in October...

Eph: Stylish lid. I like that back bow and placement of the wind-trolley button!

Alan: Thanks! Additional photos forthcoming.

Chinaski: I really appreciate your kind comments! The Disney 15 is a fantastic hat, but it was probably a bit unfair to pair it in the same post as the more flamboyant Barbisio.

Eric: Thank you! Hope you were able to get out and enjoy the splendid weather as well.

[mayserwegener]

Super series of weekend hats!

 

[DJH]

Love that new VS HB - I prefer it on you with the brim down like this.

Just got back from a nice little hike with our two Bostons. Here they are cooling off a little. My Campdraft is my favorite casual outdoor hat.

Stetson 3X Beaver Quality western

Interesting work on the personalization of this cowboy hat... similar vintage to my 7x version.
