Just received this fine hat from rlk but it just doesn't look right on me
Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe XXXXXX (likely from sometime in the 1940's)
Size 4 and the sweatband measures 21.5" so all you guys who wear a 6 7/8 or 7 are in luck
Color is "Amarena" but really does fit the Black...
Not sure of the date on this one but it is an oldie.
Label: Genuine All Wool Ankara Fleece
Extremely heavy charcoal wool overcoat with gray flecks in the weave.
Size: XL / 44R / Chest: 49" / Shoulder Seams: 20.5" / Shoulder to Cuff: 25.75"
PM with offers. Prefer to ship within USA

This was purchased last year from a lounger and the photo is from that member. Hat looks the same and is in the same condition since purchased.
I'm not sure what the official designation is - cuenca perhaps?
