Borsalino Quality
Thank you Daniele, your expertise is very much appreciated. Okay, so beaver fur felts are actually very rare with vintage European hat productions. Is it then correct to say that the Borsolino classifications (Superiore, Extra Superiore, Extra-Extra Superiore, Speciale) have more to do with the...- Steinbockhase

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Thanks for the good information and reference material; very much appreciated. That's a beautiful Borsalino Bowler. I am currently bidding on a similar Borso-Bowler on eBay, but it is definately newer (maybe 70s - 90s) and is marked as "Qualita Speciale". How much would such a Bowler be worth...- Steinbockhase

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
What about Borsalino's own quality classifications; they don't have that many to my knowledge. I have some vintage Borsalinos, some marked "Qualita Superiore" and others "Qualita Extra Superiore". Is my assuption that "Extra Superiore" is usually 100% or atleast mainly beaver fur felt correct...- Steinbockhase

Ask a question, get an answer
I have read several discussions and articles in different hat forums concerning the Stetson fur felt quality range. As I have learned, vintage felts are better than newer ones, amount of "X"s are not always meaningful and some classification types (i.e. Imperial) come and go over the years and...- Steinbockhase

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Very interesting crease styling. Looks like it could be used in the opposite direction as well. How do call it? Maybe something like 5-point-crease, star-crease or arrow-crease :-)- Steinbockhase

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Today I wore my Dobbs "Panaire" Panama straw. Originally it had a Colonial style (open crown with a thin ridge running from front to back). I didn't like that, so I flatened the ridge a bit and lowered the dome so the crown looks more like a Pork Pie or Gambler. It was a fantastic eBay deal...- Steinbockhase
