Borsalino

[Dinerman]

another hat i haven't really posted.
It's got a ribbon treatment I really like; it's very thin, but not done like an open road or stratoliner. It's completely straight and flat, with the center tie, like on most normal ribbons, only it's also thin.
so- would you say '50's? earlier?

That is an absolutely fantastic looking hat!!

 

[Razzman]

Great looking hat. Very nice style with the thin ribbon. :eusa_clap

I love everything about your hat. Glad it's yours, and wouldn't feel at all bad if it were mine too!

Enjoy it, Dinerman! :eusa_clap

I love how soft the felt on this thing is.
I can bash it any way i feel for a particular day, and it'll always pop back with no marks.

The Borsalino Code!

Outstanding Borsalino!

There was something about paper lables or tags under the sweatband that had "The Borsalino Code" on it. Some speculation as the either a style of date code.

 

[Dinerman]

my numbers seem to be meaningless.

Browns are splendid!!!

I love the colour and ribbon both!!!I' have been searching for a Borsa like that but in a 6-7/8 and a little lower crown.
Great hat for you.Looks good!

Another fine hat! Glad I asked!

Those numbers are the numbers Borsalino will use if you wanted to have the hat made in present day. I am not sure what they mean exactly but if a vendor wanted to have that exact hat made they would give those numbers to Borsalino and they would make it. And yes it is a fine looking hat on you.

Date code?

I thought that there was a reference to a production date in that mix of numbers.

 

[BigSho]

I am not sure that there is a date hidden int he code somewhere. Besdor might be a better source on the subject.

[thetankw/ahat]

i bet if you called up the store (if thats even possible.) and give them the code they could tell you the date it was made. just a thought

 

[Dinerman]

what store?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

The store in Elysium (or is it Eden?) that has all the records of all the hat styles ever made by Borsalino.

I'd try, but I heard the guy who works there is kind of a snake.

Great hat! Thanks for posting that photo-I get a better picture in my head of
exactly what I want for a custom hat by looking at prime examples like yours-if you don't mind, I'm going to store the photo in my archives for reference-lucky you, and great eyes!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
