I'm really happy you have this bowler Steve and a little sad for Matt, but this is the"hats size law"
Complimenti for the attire and bowler
Steve, It's a a real gem! Congrats!Fu Lazzaro Bowler Qualitá Finissima. Daniele posted photos and descriptions of this gem on the 12th January. I won't post too many photos of it here nor say too much about it, other than to say, I'm speechless at how this hat has survived in such wonderful condition during its approximate 100 years of existence.
Matt @Mean Eyed Matt originally bought it from Daniele, but sadly, it was a tad too small for him. View attachment 310807 View attachment 310808 View attachment 310809 View attachment 310810
I'm grateful to Matt for giving me the opportunity to purchase it from him.
Needless to say, it will be worn and treasured

Magnificent, Steve. Good to see it's found a home where it can be worn as well. You're getting quite the collection of the other Borsalinos it seems.Fu Lazzaro Bowler Qualitá Finissima.

I've only made it to two of the original ones, so you've got me beat for a start.Thanks Stefan. I was so pleased when this one arrived.
I have 3 of the rebel Borsalinos, so it's the beginning of a collection at least
Always exciting to see another Lazzaro turn up, Daniele. Their name implies they will rise up of course, but some are just very slow to do soThis year I found more bowler hats than at any other time in my life as a hat lover and collector
Most of them were made by G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro, arrived in splendid condition for their age of centenarians, and sold in Italy.
It seems as if the upper class had put the great-grandparents' hats on the market.
G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro "Qualità Finissima" sold by Luxus in Palermo, size is 5 1/2 so a 58 centimetrs in EU and a 7 1/8 in US.
The peculiarity of this ancient beauty is the pleated ribbon, difficult to find on this so formal hat.
It has come down to us in beautiful condition, without damage or missing and the interior is practically new.
The paper label said the model is "Oslo" and nothing else, if not numbers
These are the measurements of the G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro bowler hat: the curled brim measure 5.5 centimeters and the ribbon is 3 centimeters, the maximum height of the crown is 10.5 centimeters.
I sincerely hope the field is not exhausted

Thankls you all for the kind words about the bowler G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro.
In joyful anticipation of the fantastic bowler arriving at my door - Gracie, Daniele - I thought of
a repro poster I got many years ago from the retailer in Leipzig where I bought my very first hat:
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
