Is this the same company as the Borsalino company we know and love?

Also, the sticker on the inside appears to have on the left side G F (could be the G.B Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C.)

That is the company. You found the pearl. Find the date of that ad/poster and you likely found the date of your hat.

Lounge posting goes nuts. James' last post appears at the top somehow?

And so does this one?

What is this? It has a Mallory liner, but a G. B. Borsalino sweatband. Help me!

4.75" crown and 2.5" brim. A little dirty. Wind string still attached (i found it tucked under the 2.125" ribbon

Mallory Liner:

Borsalino sweatband:

Some sort of cork around the very front of the sweatband:

And here's the stickers. $10 back in the day. numbers are 12591 and 17/35. The two words appear to be aloe and Nera.

You just have a Borsalino that someone was stupid enough to replace the liner in. That is actually strange since Borsalino replacement liners are and were easily obtained. I say its a Borsalino and an old one at that.

P.S.. Nice picture.

I don't know about that hat, but the photographs weren't taken at your house!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Other side of the mirror is the Kerry/Edwards promotional (i promise it will feature in my next hat post. It is the cheesiest thing you'll ever see).

I figured that if they're dumb enough to waste money sending their photos to someone who isn't even allowed to vote, i might as well display them.

I love the look... put it on!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Your wish is my command ...

Forgive the bad photos. And the wonderful lab decor. And the duck's arse hair.

[Baron Kurtz]

Oh, yeah. Also forgive the terrible shirt. All my clothing has been shipped to england in a massive vacuum pack. I'm left with the stuff i don't want to take back. :rage:

It all starts with the hat.

People look at your head before they look at your feet.

Except for women, who seem to have shoe fetishes.

Well for a mutt it is one classy looking lid regardless of the shirt.
Wear it in good health, or in ill health to make you feel better for that matter.

Cheers!

I don't know what it is, but it looks great. I can't say that that's all that matters, but it's pretty darn close.

 

[MattC]

I guess Mallory

And G. Borsalino is the name of the store that sold it in Italy. Grad Prix Turin 1911 is not Borsalino. They've always trumpet the prize in Paris. It looks really old. And very classy.
