Sepia and Chestnut seem correct as colours for the felt and ribbon in my case. Byt sometimes colour descriptions are hard to understand. I have a Borsalino in Morello, which by translation seems reddish, but it is gray in my eyes.
Thank you very much! I was off by a few years, but at least my feeling was correct that the label was more modern than my previous ones.
My first vintage hat that is younger than me...
A Borsalino arrived today, but I have not had the time to take any pictures of it except for the label. Which years was the label below in use? It is different than the labels I have on my other Borsalinos (which, if I recall correctly, were dated as between 1962 and 72) so my guess would be...
Thanks for your reply and pictures! I might reconsider my purchase plans based on them. It's unfortunately hard to find vintage bowlers that fits me (I'm Eurosize 61), but I might ask questions in the Bowler/Derby thread on were to find quality bowlers in the current market.
Please do! I might go with the Ascot as well, but with a higher crown (5 1/2") as it does not seem possible for a higher crown than standard on the Oddjob (I sent the an e-mail a couple of hours ago, but don't expect any reply). I want a black high-crown bowler, and the Ascot seems more suitable...
Has anyone here ordered a bowler/derby from Agnoulita? I have been browsing this tread and could not find any, but I might have missed it. I am contemplating ordering a Coke or an Oddjob, but it's always best to have an idea of what to expect quality wise.
I bought my second Borsalino online, which arrived yesterday in great, almost unused, condition (only a little dusty). Metric size 60 and seems true to size (I'm 60.5, and this fits, but snug). If anyone could help me dating it, it would be highly appreciated. It has been sold by Paul U...
Thank you very much for your reply. Late 60s/early 70s seems plausible. I paid around $125 for it, which is a fair price for a Borsalino in near mint condition that fits me, but not a bargain.
Hi! My first post here, even though I have been reading this forum occasionally for a couple of years, I registered yesterday.
A couple of weeks ago I bought my first Borsalino fedora (or it might also be considered a Trilby, as the brim width is a little less than two inches). I have tried...
