Borsolino Claudio

If I were shopping in Borsolino's price range I think I'd rather have the dark grey than light and the stingier brim on this beauty...

Whaddya think?

Whaddya think?

NO!

The Film has to be my favorite model currently by Borsalino.

I like the look of this new "Film".

Borsalino's practice of including their logo prominently on the hat ribbon is a felony offense...:rage:

I suspect though it wouldn't take much effort to remove the logo, if one so desires.

I got a Borsalino "Film" from JJ Hat Center in NY almost ten years ago. I wore it extensively for several years. It shrunk and tapered a pretty good bit with repeated exposure to rain and snow, and is now very floppy (it was pretty soft to begin with). Liner came loose then I took it out. Logo looks like new.

This may sound negative but it is not. I really used and abused the hat. You should be aware of possible shrinkage, however.

In my opinion, after many reshapings, the hat looks better with a tear drop shape than a center dent.

I agree. Very tacky. At least make it a removable pin.

Yep, This the Claudio as a modern is not bad too...

I just dig the "modern" proportions with a bit of taper and somewhere in the 1-7/8" to 2" brim. Unfortunately, my tall noggin and and large-ish build dictate that I really ought to learn to love the "classics". I want to be skinny and wear those 60's styles.

You can still rock the Continental suits, skinny ties, and stingy's. Look at Muddy Waters.

Which W&W did you order, what color? Inquiring minds want to know...
I'm heading by there in a week or two to drop a hat for brim-binding - who knows what might accidentally 'leap' onto my head from the shelves.....

 

[metropd]

I bought the Venezia in the color "cool grey" not yet listed as option online for the Venezia.http://www.hatshop.com/site/showItem.php?Inv_ID=11 The Primavera has a rough depiction of this color I ordered. I had them put a 22 ligne ribbon on it and put it into an open crown so I could put a teardrop crease in it.

 

[Not-Bogart13]

I have to say, I like the Film... and the Venezia. As Borso's go, the Film is the first to really grab my eye enough to be tempted, especially since I don't have a light gray hat right now. But... between that logo and duribility-to-price ratio, there are other hats I would buy before it.
