To be fair and give all possible information, here is the continuation of the presentation of the three Borsalinos
Borsalino "Noce-Walnut" Qualità Extra Superiore was probably used,
but from the lining and sweatband it seems to have made very few trips on someone's head
Borsalino Qualità...
Today I introduce you to the Borsalino range sold in Italy in the 60s and 70s.
None of the hats presented and made in Alessandria have a glued lining, they are all with a sewn lining, therefore they are still in the era of classic production. They are children of their time.
Borsalino Qualità...
The hat is in all respects a Tenisci. The felt was produced by the "Cappellificio Cervo" for the "Brasiliano" brand.
Alfonso Tenisci gave form and substance to this ensemble, probably on the orders of a client who wanted to have a "different" hat. Below you will find the quote of his...
Maybe I forgot some benevolent comment in my memory, I apologize and it's like it was here.
I sincerely thank you for your words for my "ability" to find interesting hats, but I warn you with some regret, they are increasingly rare at least here at the source of Italian production.
The hats...
For the series of "Shaggy" or almost, here is a Borsalino who has the faculty of being a chameleon
Its declared color is "Silver" but its beauty is to change color suddenly, following the whims of yesterday's autumn light.
Felt is gorgeous with a silky and very soft hand.
For all the...
Clear and cold day in the morning and warm in the middle of the day.
This is the last hour of sunshine before sunset and I'm getting ready for a dinner with some fellow photographers.
The hat that accompanies me is a "late" Barbisio when the best days of the Sagliano factory were over...
The museum is open almost every day, or by appointment. There are no guards, just an alarm system:)
I too have seen a few Borsalinos in the shape of a "Lord hat". For this reason, with great enthusiasm, I bought it. The "Impossible" series is over and I hope to keep it closed so as not to...
Brent the Borsalino you showed seems from the exterior prior to the WWII, but liner and some details make me think of a Fifties "reproduction" of a Twenty/Thirties Borsalino hat. The hat is really nice, but you know I like black hats. With more details to discover under the sweatband the...
The photo is from yesterday, today the rain fell abundantly all day.
Bantam Cervo Loden from the fifties or maybe the sixties.
One of the mixed felts I own in which Cervo has a great mastery.
For lovers of "mixed felts" I have also put the label of the Cooperative of workers who...
Alan, your observation is perfect, but it has an explanation: the red bricks of the house behind the wisteria that supports the en plein air set greatly influence the gray felts. I made arrangements with a colleague to photograph the hats in the studio. The best color is one in which gray has no...
I hope this is the last chapter of the "Beautiful and Impossible" series, at least for this year.
Brother of Brummel's, in size, that you see in this thread has aroused enormous interest, later revealing itself to be a bitter disappointment.
The size ruled out any possibility for me and for...

We are at the penultimate chapter of the series "Beautiful and impossible"
This time the fault is mine and mine alone. On the wave of enthusiasm I bought two hats from a mute or rather uninformed seller.
The discovery of the size put the writer in a bad mood and also Stefan who first peeked...
