The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[gtdean48]

I've decided to let this one go. It's in the classifieds page. No price...I'm taking offers.

Rules of Classifieds is you have to set a price...bartenders don't allow auctions. You can set a price then state "or make an offer"...

Bound Brim Balbi Borsalino Bronzo Feather Weight "Hyde Park"

 

[alanfgag]

Your new featherweights are fantastic. Logic says that these must have been sold in many hat shops, but I don't remember seeing one that didn't have Salvatore Balbi's stamp? And I always thought pizza was the greatest gift from Naples.

Very nice. Did you buy it new at JJ?

 

[Mr. Bingley]

Yes, I did.

 

[danofarlington]

Yes, I did.

They have the largest number of Borsalino hats on the rack of any store I have visited.

Wait 'till you go to Bencraft Hats.

Oh, and they are very good on the selling, too. Here, try on this Stetson or Selentino. Now try on this Borsalino...man, the difference is just insane.

You mean there's more there? The only thing that stopped me from visiting Bencraft the few times I've visited New York is that it's a long hike from the center of town where I have to go. Seems like an expensive cab ride there. Apart from that I'd like to visit them, they seem to know their stuff there.

They do know their stuff. They have a much bigger selection of Borsalinos and the best part is that you don't pay 5th avenue prices for them. Better to take the subway.

Mr. Bingley: what are they calling the hat?

 

[Mr. Bingley]

I honestly don't know; looking at pics online it might be the Anello http://www.bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=412&subcname=Borsalino

Borsalino Bowler/Melone

 

[Joshbru3]

Great Borsalino Bowler/Melone, Robert! I love the sweatband. It looks great on you, especially with the tunic shirt that your wearing. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

+1. Great wear on the edge.
If vent holes were Xs, that might be a decent hat.

Feather Weight...

Guys I bought this to replace one of three hats--all light weight-- that I recently sold. Don't start with the "you're relapsing, Aureliano!" speech ok? lol lol lol

Borsalino Feather Weight in "Opale" color. Note the triangular bow detail just like the German hat RobStC recently posted. This is the second hat ever that I've seen with this style. Love the hat. So light and luxurious. Notice the liner also, this ain't you usual Qualita Superior, this one is "Suprema" (supreme) It was a size 7 but I stretched, re-blocked to my size (7 1/8) to avoid annoying sweatband line in the felt and re-flanged the brim. The result:
