Go and sin more Daniele. The shape and proportions are perfect on that one[/QUOTE
Richard the sins are too much and I feel guilty, but I'm happy because for the fourth time I was in the paradise of hats
You're quite right and thanks Roadopen. Though the hat is chocolate brown indoors you can still sense the burgundy/auburn hues which open up in natural light. It's a keeper [emoji4]The coloration of that hat Steve just does it for me. Hard to get that type of shade really. Look's like a brown across with burgundy red?
Michael, I'm going to have to go shopping with you. Great finds again!
Stunning Brent.Agnoulita in wine with antelope finish.
And a brims up for Bob. The Lounge hasn’t been the same without him.

Your sins will always be forgiven, Daniele, especially when you have such a great flair for and knowledge of hats. Great find.I tried to stay away from temptations, but the other day we were, Steve and I, in Merano by the current owners of the hats sold in the shop (now closed) "M. Hutter".
I did not bring enough money to buy hats, but then I suddenly became a sinner
Borsalino "Uranio" Qualità Extra Superiore. Size 6 1/2
The shapes and proportions are related to Italian hats made in the sixties
Felt is soft and very malleable. What I particularly like is the tone-on-tone ribbon that is, for me, the plus of this Borsalino
Happy Friday everyone
See you in the next days for the next sins
A truly great looking Borsalino outside and in, Abba!
That is a superb hat, Steve. Congrats.This is the Lobbia Borsalino Qualità Suprema that Daniele posted a couple of weeks ago. It arrived Monday and after 24 hours on the stretcher, it was ready to wear today. Brim 7cm (2.75 inches), Crown 11cm (4.3 inches), ribbon 4cm (1.5) I have 3 other Homburgs with an equally wide brim and around the same crown size. I beleive this one seems "larger" due to it's colour in light perspective, but also due to the way the brim seems elongated along the sides.
A big thank you to Daniele for knowing my tastes and giving me the opportunity to bring this Borsalino into my possession and onto my head.

A thing of beauty.
That is one gorgeous homburg, Jeff. Great colour.
The homburg is mine- it’s a Carlson of wonderful colors. It accompanied me into the only restaurant in a small rural town to which I had to travel for work today. An...unusual... combination of elements in cuisine, especially considering the daily special was fried catfish with French fries, which I struggle to categorize as either Mexican or Italian...

We all do!
That is just sooooo nice, Eric.Bowen's comments yesterday about the Knox Vagabond had me thinking about lightweight hats this morning. As a consequence I selected a lightweight hat from my hat rack to head out on a dog walk.
The vtg. Stetson Bantam was my choice. The lightweight felt and leather sweat make this hat fit ever so lightly on the forehead. I love the feel and fit of these styled vintage hats. I know other forum members have similar vintage hats and always enjoy seeing those oldsters. Go Bantams!
Vents!
Best, Eric -
Wonderful look, Bowen.
Thanks Stefan. It is indeed a superb, stand out hat just like the L'Hiver/Penumbra bowler I was able to purchase from you.
Hey, mine doesn't have a cool ribbon like that! Looks great, Doug.Summer is hanging on. No Bantam in this house, but the Champ Featherweight works today. Off to lunch with my daughter.

Nice find, Michael. Good colour and shape.I found this Dobbs Sixteen Fifty today.

I'll pop a few more into new hats.

Some hats just won't be tamed, John. Still looks good, though.Hey all!
This Portis Silver Beaver on a grey afternoon. No matter how much I steam and shape it, it always has a beater look and feel to it. Some days an old beater is just the ticket.
Have a great day!

I'll have a look in my attic too. Who knows?!Found this when I was rummaging around the attic a couple of nights ago. New in the box with the tags still on it. I think I purchased it a few years ago. Put it away and lost track of it.
