Borsalino Qualità Superiore recent production, you notice it from the brand on the bow

The felt is very soft, but keeps its shape well.

Felt color is a number as it is used in modern Borsalino production. The color (a light beige, a little bit more warm then in the pictures) is splendid and the contrast copper ribbon gives a special touch to this Borsalino.
View attachment 239057 The hat is new and never worn.

These are the measures of the Italian classic: raw brims at 7.5 centimeters, the open crown is 15 centimeters and the copper ribbon is 4.5 centimeters.

Well you really can’t do better than that, the same color I put on my twenty although I opted for 7/8”. Well done!Stetson Twenty The Sovereign

When I saw this Stetson Twenty with it beautiful burgundy ribbon could be had for its original selling price of Twenty dollars I had to jump on it. The seller had indicated it was a “very small hat for child or woman” but his measurements sounded like it would work. I gave it a shot and it fits great. Fits.. feels and looks wonderful.... and did I mention with ribbon???
Thank you GGWell you really can’t do better than that, the same color I put on my twenty although I opted for 7/8”. Well done!
Nice finds, Daniele and good to have you back. I've had one of those modern Barbisio hats before, but I couldn't get it to work for me. It was just so soft that it was all over the place. I had to let that one go.Second arrival in the restriction period and it is another soft and classic Italian felt

As is often the case. Different lighting makes to color appear different... especially the ribbon

Waiting for other hats that are in postal limbo I thought I'd console myself with this one I saw on a Frech auction site.
Hückel Superior Velour. Sold to me as a size 56, but in fact a size 59, with the raw edge brim at 6cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. Doesn't appear to have been worn much if at all. The felt of this pre-war hat is glorious.

This is the same. The color is very interesting and the softness too. For lovers of soft feltNice finds, Daniele and good to have you back.

That felt jut glows. Great hat, and great photography.
Brent, Daniele. It is a beauty. No much consolation for myself in the end, but still worth getting.Molto bello! Complimenti

Would have loved to find it to be your size, Brent, but finding one in this condition is rare enough, let alone one in a very large size.If it was two or three sizes larger I’d be trying to talk you into sending it to California.
Thank you Stefan.... beautiful felt on that HuckelThat ribbon does the trick alright. Nice catch, Joe.
