Brasiliano
Another Borsalino knockoff from Brasiliano. Here’s the other one.
THis one has loads of style, with a pleated ribbon, fancy exotic textured sweatband and colorful pleated liner.
Duch and Sons London
I got this one from Italy. The “hand made” script is in Italian, but it is marked as being a London hat. Who knows?
Genuine French Leghorn
This French leghorn dates from the 1920s or early 1930s. It’s a wide straw braid, with a tall, straight sided optimo block, with a shallow center dent. Two tone patterned ribbon.
Genuine Bangora fedora
Straw treated with waterproofing. Drilled vents. Despite their tight weaves, these were inexpensive hats, with cheap trimmings.
Dobbsd Imported Venetian
This straw was made by dobbs. It’s “Imported Venetian”, one of those many many names for different kinds of milan.
Parkshire Open Road
This one had super thin, floppy felt. Unlined, but probably started out with a liner. Thin sweatband.
1960s Teardrop Stetson
This early 1960s Stetson has a square size tag and a color liner logo. The crown is factory creased.
Dobbs Homburg
Soft black fur felt homburg. With all my talk of casual homburgs, here’s the classic formal one.
Stingy Brim fedora
