Borsalino velour finish 7 1/4 extremely soft hat.

[moontheloon]

up for sale is a piece of my beloved Borsalino brotherhood .

I just became a father for the second time and need to unfortunately part with a few hats that I never thought I would part with.

this is a Borsalino ... most likely late 1950s
The hat is gray but the velour finish makes it difficult to photograph.
The ribbon is also gray but has very slight purple tones ... Just an absolutely stunning hat.

It is one of the softest and most pliable hats that I have personally ever touched

See the video below for an idea of just how soft this piece is.

Super clean ... The inside looks completely untouched

Ok... Enough gushing over this beautiful hat and on to the particulars

Size - 7 1/4 and fits true
Crown - 5 3/4 open
Brim - 2 3/4 raw
Ribbon 1 1/4

Asking $225 shipped anywhere in the US

PM with any questions, interest or concerns

Can this hat be stretched to a 7 3/8 or would that be sacrilege?

It may be able to take a nudge
That would be up to you though... Not something I like to do very often

In person does it present felt color more like the photos you posted of interior or more brownish like the top side photos?

there is no brownish to the hat at all

it is completely gray

the velour finish makes it very difficult to photograph

final bump then I'm keeping this beauty

I'm a little scared to stretch it as this would represent the most money I have spent on a hat (I was saving for a Gannon). It is with great hesitation that I think I have to pass. Assuming you sell it, I think the new owner will be very lucky indeed.
