The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[steur]

Thanks, guys!
And thanks, Stefan for the info.
Do ya think that “G” may stand for Gorusgu?

No way of telling. Gorasgus come in quite a variety, so who knows? Interesting is that mine says Fu-L, like in Fu Lazzaro, but it isn't one.

This homburg is a French point size 6 ½ which means it should be a size 7 ½ US, but measures like a size 7 ⅜. Not surprising. Still, a generous proportioned hat.

Definitely has some miles on it:

I stopped petting this MGL long enough to get some pics.

This MGL is a last minute addition to my little family of plush or velour Borsalinos. Icing on the cake. Can't wait to get it!

Very cool find, Brent. We've seen Nadir 41 1/2 as a model, but not Nadir 41. Amiata is one of Borsalinos' most used colours. Really like that liner design.

Technical question. If I post photos to the Lounge from my cellphone and then later delete those photos from my phone, do they disappear from the Lounge?

No, they are uploaded to the Lounge server and will stick around.

No Mike.

So post away

Keep them coming. Two very nice examples. I think the second one is a Ludoela as well. As far as I can make out the first letter is an L and not a D.

3rd Superiore, 2 3/4 brim. No original tag, has Reorder tag.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

50s Gorusgu
A label I recognize. Don’t understand anything, but more familiar.
The felt is very thin and light, but holds shapes well. Nice hat! Borsalinos of this vintage….excellent.
