The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Ciao Alan as for others Borsalino made for the Italian market there are components that belongs to different decade assembled in one hat. Borsalino's creed was: don't throw anything away. This hat seems to be the paradigm of this company philosophy and, as I said many times, I am not convinced...- Daniele Tanto

G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936
Brent they are original and some of the best example I see in my life. They seems brand new or very little used. About the brim it is important to know the measurements, but if they are around 2 inches or a little more they are the "original" All the best if you will buy them- Daniele Tanto

Toronto Hatter Leon Drexler
Brent, too, am curious to see your hats being made in Northern Europe and above all what I hope you will put in order at Leon Drexler. The Milaner model with the Venetian finish must be a delight. For Hufvud my favorite model is Floki. So you also know my preferences for models, for colors...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Steven certainly "Rizzo" is a type of bowler hat from the "ancient" Borsalino. If I remember correctly I sold one some time ago to a fellow of FL. I look for confirmation in my messy archive of what has been saw in recent days. Nice piece :)- Daniele Tanto

Therefore what I can say in my preferences concerns only European hats which I know very well. I am limited to my...- Daniele Tanto

The 'Golden Years' of Hat Quality & Style
Certainly Steve in the first thirty years of the last century most of the hats produced had a semi-handmade manufacture, even those of the lowest price, therefore the quality was assured. Labor was cheap and the hatters' guild was, at least here in Italy, an important stratum in the national...- Daniele Tanto

The 'Golden Years' of Hat Quality & Style
I think it is not possible to establish a golden period of hat production in the world. The reasons are many and have to do with the internal and external market, the absorption in the markets of hats according to their price and consequently their quality. Then there are the factors that...- Daniele Tanto
