1960’s Borsalino. First time I have worn a felt out in months so seemed appropriate to wear a European brand in London.

Temperatures are down so it's felt time. The Borsalino I traded with Moehawk some time ago (bless him). No colour or name, so I call it Rogers Peet (the shop it came from).

Thanks, Christophe! That's an American market Borsalino you're wearing, right? Yesterday was the first time in two months we've had some rain and this is Holland we're talking about!Very nice! We have clouds and rain here in London, but occasion to dust off the felts

Fan dang tastic hat Bowen.View attachment 130341 View attachment 130342 View attachment 130343 View attachment 130344 Greetings All:
Today i’d like to present a hat created by our own CaneRodMaker, Tim of Alley Kat Hat Co. Tim is a humble artisan and craftsman who’s skill belies pictures and must be beheld to truly appreciate. Other’s here have benefited his artwork and i have this example alone to enjoy. All hand stitched (amazing) all hand created.
This example is from work in 2013. I can only imagine the strides achieved in the last 5 years. A man who can craft a split cane flyrod has certainly brought that gift to custom hats. Thanks Tim!!
Be well. Bowen

Thanks Perry. I'm afraid my shirt can't stand up to that great Island number you have on today. Great look with the PHD.Great shirt. Hat's nice too.
Thanks, Michael. Temperature has come down about 10 degrees C. Still summer, but not a furnace anymore. The homburgs will have to wait a little while longer.Thanks Bowen. You mean that's not the style anymore?

Did not expect that: the straight and tall crown and wider brim are more common in the American market Borsalinos. Great hat.This one is French market, Gerard Sools, with « **** » at the front of the sweatband. I say 60’s (according to seller) but I guess it could be 70’s?
Yes, 2 months no rain in Holland or U.K. is unbelievable!
