That is a fine looking piece of history, Bob, and one I believe will suit your head well. Congrats on that find!

Thanks everyone! BTW, Dale, at 7-1/8 it doesn't suit my head very well at all.

That is a major bummer, Bob, because you could really carry it well.

Just got my first Borsalino in the mail from France last night. They sent it flattened out in an envelope, can you believe it ? After a lot of work last night and drying over night it looks pretty good today after brushing again and bashing.

Felt is amazing though, and sweat is pretty decent.

More on the Borsalino Brotherhood.....

Thanks Hector. Yeah, it was even torn open when I received it:

What were they thinking?

I specifically asked this seller to ship in a box big enough so that the brim would not be bent as the curl would be hard to redo. Then they charged a $10 handling fee.

The hat police need to pay that seller a visit, Bob.
I just don't understand some people. Whatever you're selling, pack it so it arrives in a condition you'd expect anything you'd ordered to arrive in. What's not to understand?
I agree Bob: what were they thinking? Not much it would appear!

Nice work bringing it back to life!

I only have one Borsalino in my collection, and definitely it's some of the finest felt I've ever touched.

I'm gonna' go with, "How can I get this to the buyer with the least amount of out-of-pocket expense?"

Yep, that's about right, Zee. So sad. Wouldn't be a seller I'd do business with again.

Crazy. The last 3 I have received have been like that. If course I am buying ones that need some TLC on the cheap, so I guess I can’t complain. They’ve all turned out OK after some work. Stetson 7XCB and Portis. Don’t know how I forgot to take before pics of the Borsalino.

If only some of these sellers could be charged a reshaping fee!

finally found one on Goodwill and only $12. It may be more of a military one since it’s olive drab, but I haven’t found any info on a Stetson 3X like this. Seems most are wool and have vent holes.

Looks like the dress/parade hat that was worn by certain U.S. border patrol agents. The wider brim & higher dents suggests that it is an older model as seen in the 'Border Patrol Museum' below.

Today's hats are the more conventional campaign hat with narrower brim & lower crown but they still have the characteristic black leather hat band with the horse shoe buckle.
