How would that compare in size and quality to the Bismuto?

Needless to say, I’m very interested.

That's a tough question, Gary. Not much between them I'd say. The Bismuto is the earlier hat, so maybe a noselength ahead. Would these measurements suit you though? The Bismuto was a size 60.

I just did a quick measurement. I think you’re right. I usually wear 59, but Borsalinos do seem to run small. It would fit Etsuko. I‘ll see what she has to say tomorrow. I doubt she’ll be up for it, though.

Couldn’t convince her. I’ll have to pass on this one.

No worries; I'm sure the buyer has already been born.
