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.
Let's do it, Rob! Start it!


That's lovely, Aureliano - beautiful colour :eusa_clap

Hey....! Do you think we've got enough people to start a very small, very exclusive club of 'Those Who Own Hats With Triangular Bow Knots' ??? :D:D:D

Borsalino homburg

Found this Borsalino homburg at a thrift market, paid ca $9, a fairly good price, I feel :D

Imported and sold by Ferner Jacobsen in Oslo, which may be considered the best men's outfitter in Norway. (Self presentation in English)

Factory logo and owners initials:

Under the sweatband:

After cleaning and shaping:

The quality, both of material and workmanship is outstanding. It's the first time I have owned a hat where the top of the lining is stitched to the felt to keep it in place, for example. I am very happy with this one, and it's my first choice these days.


Can anybody help me date this Borsalino?

Thank you
