    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I celebrate the autumn equinox to hope the scorching heat of summer is finally over For the occasion I am wearing a Borsalino made for the American market, probably in the 1950s Its shape is deceptive Its because it suggests that he came out of the Alessandria factory in the 1930s, but this...

    Borsalino Felt Quality

    Your point of view, Jared, is perfect for trying to debunk myths. I speak from my personal experience concentrated 95% on European felts, many after the war and until a few years ago are excellent and do not always come from Borsalino or Italian producers. Some French and German or Central...

    Borsalino Felt Quality

    Your request is much more appropriate in the ponderous and extremely news-rich thread "Borsalino Broherhood". There you will find a lot of information you are looking for regarding your question on the qualities of felt. A single and basic information to clarify. In Europe felt was made with...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Not at all. You posted an Italian link about the this situation. It is a simple explication about the Borsalino commercial war started after the dead of Giuseppe Borsalino, the founder. The situation is a little bit more complicated. I wrote in the proper thread about that :)

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    European hat manufacturers had representatives in Japan since the beginning of the last century. Steve (mayserwegener) posted some time ago a great photo of Huckel hats, with their sales force, in Japan. Borsalino was present in the country of the Rising Sun since the beginning of the 1900s...

    French Hats and makers.

    I buy fewer and fewer hats, but the ones that arrive under the wisteria must have some particular quality. This Flechet is a top class homburg with fantastic color and the finish is superb. Bought blind it turned out to be a size too small, so who better to wear it than Stefan? He is another...

    BARBISIO Brothers

    First I want to thank Stefan who initiated this exchange. Yes, it's true, I acted as a broker for the Barbisio Lontra, the seller was tenacious and well informed about what he had for sale, but the exchanges between the Veneto and Flanders have been going on successfully for years. This time I...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I am very glad the Borsalino Museum is open. The last time I called Alessandria to find out if and how the museum could be visited, I was told that its opening was probable, but without any date scheduled. I had called in mid-September when Steve (mayserwegener) came to see me, hoping to take...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Very, very nice and the "Misto Agata" is a fantastic color. Agata is a rock used since we are able to work it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agate It is also my size.... :) The Serikon "Gesso=Chalk" is fine and as Stefan said it is a new way walked by Borsalino in the US market to have more...
