Absolutely Stunning and impeccably well chosen
As you know, Wayfarer, I too have recently fallen victim to the irresistible allure of very vintage Borsalinos (or perhaps they should properly be termed "Borsalini antichi"). For my part, the only problem I see with your collection is there is no...
Thanks indeed Steven. I'll report back here when I return. And especially if I stumble on some stash filled with ultra luxe vintage NOS Borsalinos. Unfortunately, in ten years, pre-eBay, of occasionally looking around flea markets and the few vintage shops in Italy I knew(in Florence, Venice...
Okay, Post 16
Nothing happened, Razzman. I'm sorry to say. I'll check back tomorrow, and perhaps I'll be able to send you a pm with my email. Sorry to be using so much bandwidth on this. But then, being unreasonably keen and slightly obsessive about vintage hats is why I'm here.
Post 15
Now, does some sort of magical transformation occur? Or do I have to wait for an actual human being to review my 15 posts and approve me for pm powers?
Going to Torino in March
I'm not sure I'll be able to get down the road to Allesandria, but I'd love to. Any advice if I go, Steven? And, I wonder, if this is not too ot, if you found any vintage Borsalino sources in or near Allesandria?
Thanks for the photos. I would never have guessed...
Thank You
Obliged Razzman. I'd rather not post my home email address, but more than happy if you can get it from the administrator. I'll try to post an other couple of pertinent messages elsewhere. Thanks.
Cheers Jimmy-- Terrific Idea
And as soon as I am permitted to post pictures, I'll post my OR Twenty-Five which came with all tags AND its original box. Of course if anyone snags a hat with its original sales receipt, that too would help to nail dates.
Too New to PM, Alas
But keenly interested in increasing my collection of vintage Borsalino hats. This perhaps due to 10 years residence in Italy, much of it spent in nearby Piedmont, home to great wine if not fine hats. Accordingly, if this has not been snapped up at a staggering price, how...
Someone Whispering
Yes, perhaps once the whispering someone tired of me, you were next-- my first OR, likely 60s vintage, and a "25" with its original $25 price sticker intact on the inner side of the sweat band-- arrived the day before yesterday. It's a lovely hat, although in need of minor...
A Beauty but some questions
I have a OR 25 due from Texas tomorrow-- which I too would like to date. I own a copy of the Stetson book which I find anything but useful on this score. And am even confused about the priority or consistency of the use of royal, royal deluxe, and 25 as applied to...
Just for the Record
I figure I might as well introduce myself to the Lounge by admitting that I was the disappointed underbidder, and tender my apology to Jimmy the lid for playing my role in the auction becoming an eBay seller's dream, and costing him the price of several very very nice...
