    Are there any Borsalino experts here? Can you recommend a site?

    Love the look! The crown was so high and one of them has a rather firm brim that I thought it was supposed to be kinda HowdyDoody tall looking. Shows what I know. Now the gray one would definately look better kinda shaped and sassy!
