Hey y’all!
Newest addition.
I only saw one other Boardwalk Stroller in my FL search and was a pecan colored one posted by RLK.
This one was a size Seven that’s been successfully upped 2 1/2 sizes. Looks exactly how it arrived and in the same condition, except a bit bigger.
I love it! Great long hair felt.

The series of Italian hats "sons of decline" continues

This is a complete "modern" G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro, Qualità Suprema. Size is 6 French point so a 59 cm. in EU or a 7 3/8 in US.
View attachment 470531
The felt is a deep gray felt (Ossola for Borsalino), streaked with white threads. Very soft, it keeps its shape well.

Had all the hats of the Sixties and Seventies been like this, probably some markets would have responded better, but the "creativity" to support the dying Italian hat market was too intense :)

Have a nice day and thanks for your likes
A beauty!! Little surprise that I have associated this exact felt finish and hat style with you :) Thanks for sharing

Day seven of pre-StingyMas. I’ve somehow managed to limp through to the one week mark with the help of a cheat (bowler) day.
Today I’m in a Borsalino Anello. The 5.7cm brim is the biggest in the series, if only by a couple of millimeters, though due to the curl, it feels smaller to me. This came to me from Tokyo lounge member, @daizawaguy.
It is, I think, my only hat that will take a dry crease readily.

And with that, my little pre-event event comes to an end.
Looking forward to the main event. I’ll certainly be following from New Zealand.

Haven't posted in this forum before... an Open Road Stetson that I bought new Haven't posted in this forum before... an Open Road Stetson that I bought new in Australia in the '80s. I was working there on a contract from UK and bought this along with a Drizabone riding coat. They are still wearing well 40 years on. Picture here though is with my '40s Harrod's teddy bear coat, it's cold in London today in Australia in the '80s.
