Killer outfit. Michael.
Have a great Friday,
Michael
Optimo for this overcast Friday.
Thanks for all the likes and kind words. The hat show has been great this week. Everyone have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Thanks, DRB. The more I wear it, the more I like it. I had it out in a downpour this evening, and it held up pretty well.

IMG_9473 crop by Michael A2012, on FlickrThanks, Jim. It was worn, but not much and is as good as new. The flange was this way when I got it. Not every hat wears this well brim up (most of them make me look more goofy than usual).
Really suits you, Stefan. I bet that Dobbs is going get a lot of wear.
I see you've got an American theme going on this weekend, Stefan [emoji4]. Love the ribbon colour contrast on that one.
Thanks, Steve. I did in fact wear the Dobbs again today (brim down this time) but my phone didn't cooperate.
Very nice; excellent crease!
Barbisio Homburg today.
Stefan, it is interesting to note that in the production of French hats there has been a shift from identifiable suppliers due to their quality to a progressive shrinking of the producers until it seems that there are at most two sources of production, sometimes poor. However in my opinion it is also a Flechet production
Nice looking modern Borsalino, Daniele. You seem to have a gift for making any hat look good on you.Gray day for a Borsalino of the same color

Qualità Speciale size 6 1/2 or 60 cm. and 7 1/2 US Recent production, so no other indications

Very soft felt, like that of the "Traveler" model but with a lining, A special stitching trim the brim.

Very difficult to keep in shape and also extremely informal in its profile variability.
An artist's hat, as we say here in Italy
View attachment 164697
It has some flaws (a sign of a moth, the lining to be put back on its original position and the ribbon to be fixed)
This is an example of which way to go so I have some doubts about how to act. To keep as it is? Restore? Sell?

Here are the questions I asked myself last year, doing a detailed examination of my collection, and like this Borsalino there are others that I honestly have a lot of doubts about.
Buon Sabato!

Very nice, Daniele and a relatable question: what to do with this hat? I find that it's easier to say goodbye to a hat when taking into consideration the number of better hats that are in the collection. The lesser ones (or the ones that don't fit right) just won't get any head time. The challenge is more to find a decent home for them.Gray day for a Borsalino of the same color
