Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Adrian, I believe that the misinformation on the age of the Borsalinos is well rooted in many collectors who, according to what they have in their hands, dictate assumptions about the age of the hat, often confusing the sellers / buyers. Often, to date a Borsalino, the stamp finish of the paper...- Daniele Tanto

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
Three hats in blue are a delight to behold together. Interesting analysis of the three and the Brent's conclusions. Personally I have some reservations about the colors of the Winchester beaver felts, I have often found them a bit too "unfaithful" in shade and light, but it is my impression...- Daniele Tanto

In my life as a collector I have found few hats sold by Sartoris - Genova with this lining mainly branded by the shop. A few months ago I found four of our size, but I left them for the too high price, noting that some liners were slightly different in colors and graphics. I thought Sartoris...- Daniele Tanto

A very classic Lobbia Borsalino in light and malleable black felt Its peculiarity is that it was sold by a shop in Genoa, Sartoris, which has its own brand as a brand in the lining and not that of the Alessandria hat manufacturer.

I think that the size 7 posted by Randall is a 7 american size, so a 57 cm. or a 5 for the Borsalino French system. Hope this helps- Daniele Tanto
