    Borsalino Bankrupt?

    I am not worried about the company itself. What is happening now is that they are looking for a new owner. Now that the current owner has been found, the courts will be able to fix the mix that has unfolded in Italy. What I can say is that Borsalino doesn't have the problem of a lack of...

    Are there any UK or European made stiff bowlers anymore?

    I wonder where the Christys hats are blocked out? They made the nicest bowler in the market. Hatco makes one but its soft, not nice the derbies of the past.

    Borsalino hat mystery, or, Does Borsalino Do Rayon?

    Borsalino has never made this style in wool. They barely do any wool hats at all.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I have been to that store sooooooooo many times over the past 30 years. It wont close. That is the original store. Its the only hat store in Alessandria besides the small Tacino hat store on the outskirts of Alessandria.

    Chapeau Corot or Dickerson & Co. of Detroit. Anyone here remember them?

    I won a hat on Ebay also from Dickersons. There is little on Google about the store. I Googled the address and it looked as if the building was being renovated. All that is left in Detroit today is Henry the Hatter.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I would date the hat to around 1970. That was one of our best sellers. I kept one in my size!!
