Stetson 100
When this hat was made in the early 1960s, it cost a whopping $100. Theses Stetsons came in custom leather cases and had the best pure beaver fur felt. Truly top of the line.
Borsalino Homburg
This one was cleaned and re-blocked by Art Fawcett before I got it. It’s a fantastic Borsalino, but it was always just a bit too small to wear it comfortably, so I let it go. Somewhere along the line, the brim binding had been removed.
