Nothing exceptional also because it had been very hardened with the stiff. The midnight blue color along with a deep gray was what interested me most We...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
The western Borsalino was sold in Venezia, this makes me smile because it is a tourist hat.

Thanks Mike and Joe for your words. The baseball cap turned on its own, dear Mike, and there was no way to put it back on until late afternoon when the sun came back in front of my eyes.

A few years ago I bought two batches of shortly finished Italian felts, almost formed and a couple ready for use. One was made up of Borsalino "experiments" and another seems to be of Barbisio manufacture. The latter were all formed, but without finishes or, if any, had been removed. So I...- Daniele Tanto

His older brother has already proved his qualities: bold in color and perfect in his livery. Barbisio size 55 cm or 6 7/8 US. These are the measurements: the raw brims are at 6.5 centimeters and the crown at its lowest point is at 11 centimeters. It is a minor clone of a magnificent hat. I...- Daniele Tanto

I consider lucky those who can easily or almost easily wear small sizes. The hat is black and certainly made many years ago, I'd say a hundred or so. The brand is a mystery because there are no other indications. "Record" size 54 centimeters or a 6 3/4 in US. Felt is a blend that also...- Daniele Tanto
