Greetingz Bors. Guys

My next favorite hat , is this liner what is called ''Onion Ski'' ?

By the tag this should be a 1960 ? Yes.

thnkz in advance... Serle

You can call it also "Tomato skin" and a perfect "pasta con il pomodoro" will be ready to be eaten
Joking aside, the "onion skin" is the piece of cellulose acetate inserted to protect the lining.
Judging by the paper production label, it appears to be a hat from the 1960s, or possibly the early 1970s.
"Marque Grand Lux" models are often Borsalinos featuring distinctive felt finishes. That designation doesn't have any practical significance; it was a label used by certain high-volume Borsalino retailers—with the company's cooperation—to create a small sense of "exclusivity."
The felt color is "dattero - date." The stamped number indicating the size isn't visible.
Hope it helps
