Thanks. "M Gris Fer" is one of the oldest color of Borsalino. M is for "Misto" a blend of wool and fur. It is one of my favorite color of the Borsalino palette and your hat is fantastic- Daniele Tanto

Grazie molte. The felt is, to my eye, a "Misto" but now I have a confirmation from the sweatband. It seems old, the paper label could say more...- Daniele Tanto

Stefan, it was for this reason (almost floppy) that I was wondering who the manufacturer of the felt was, because the same sensation to the touch is also found in the Guerra 1855 from the same period and also in some Panizzas. Notwithstanding that a similar finish was difficult to find in those...- Daniele Tanto

Marcel, yes, I confirm. I'm Borsalino in disguise. Made more "firm" to look English, considering the conception of Italian hatters for felt produced in the UK, considered hard for their construction standards. It was the moment, like many others in the battle for market shares among Italian...- Daniele Tanto

Stefan, il duo di Barbisio è bellissimo. "Cervo" and "Visone" they refer to the finish of the felt. "Rimini" is the color. I would like to know who made the "Visone" felt because it is a finish that often occurs in the hats of the "Cervo-Barbisio" orbit, this is natural, but also in the Guerra...- Daniele Tanto

Considering the interest aroused here by the hats made in France, I opened a few boxes containing specimens bought in France in a very lucky find between 2015 and 2016 I still regret not having bought more, but the number of hats in my collection made beyond the Alps they are very numerous...- Daniele Tanto

This Borsalino, along with other hats, has been forgotten. Hidden by its owner it was "saved" after a thorough inspection of the collection :) A "special" Borsalino to fuel the discovery paths of its production Borsalino Qualità Extra Extra Superiore referred to as "Tipo Esportazione"...- Daniele Tanto

Hello there, first of all I want to tell you that I have no significant experience with the felts that are used for the Borsalinos called Marengo. They are hats in the second price range and in my search for Borsalinos that I liked I didn't find anything marked Marengo, also because in Italy...- Daniele Tanto

I'm late with the releases of the new hats. Laziness and also a photographic commission that involves me. Retracing your steps after years is always a gamble :-) Let's get to the hats: after the "Blacks" series I focused my attention on the last hats produced by the historic Italian factories...- Daniele Tanto
