Very Very sharp, Josh, nice find, color is great.

Looks like a tan colored hat to me. Nice hat though.

Thanks guys! This color is really hard to describe. In some lights it looks like a dark tan, in some it looks like a light green tan, and then in other lights it looks almost brown. Its getting hard to coordinate outfits to match the hat because its always changing. I love it anyways.

AL: I am adding that one to my top 20 list! How did you come about finding such a rare jewel? You just don't see too many Ivory Borsalinos.

Thank you, Alan, Dennis, and Mike!

Dennis, I stumbled upon the listing on the 'Bay an hour before it ended. It was not listed very well and thus did not attract too much attention.

Funny I had an "ivory" borsalino and it was from the same time period but it was more greenish looking.

Great looking lid!
