Gorgeous hat, Jeff. Nice find.

Thank you. I got lucky that the bid never even reached my maximum.

Cool find, Joe. I like the shape and especially that brim edge treatment.

Thank you Stefan. It did shape up quite nicely.

You need to buy a lottery ticket, my friend. That is an amazing hat.

I couldn't believe no one outbid me and didn't even go l get to my max price. A real stroke of luck.

Caxtons are pretty rare, and an NOS sample is a stroke of luck.

Caxton Skycruiser with original box.

I like the crown height & the blocking. And the red liner. Caxtons are quite rare & Im sure that is the first Skycruiser to appear on FL.

I want to sincerely thank Stefan the Flemish for his kindness.
He's a true gentleman who, like me, is plagued by too many hats, and trying to find a reason to exchange is increasingly difficult. We succeeded, and soon you'll see the prized pieces arriving from the Netherlands, as soon as the heat gives us a break.
To better explain the concept expressed for the Morreton Diplomatique Chamois, only two of these hats were purchased knowing their size. The reason: they are "mid-season" hats designed and made with the precision of Barbisio.
I bought the others blind. Sellers can't find the size, and if given, it's often incorrect.
I hoped they'd be wearable, but that wasn't the case.
For the Panizza, the focus was on color and vents. Nagy for its two-tone band and the scarcity of hats from that Vienna maker. Borsalino because it's old (really) and has a very unusual shape for that maker.
Stefan enjoys them, and I'm more than happy.
