The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

Borsalino Verde today

 

[tridentine]

I have a beautiful, looks like hardly worn vintage Borsalino 7 3/8 which I really like but it does not fit me.
Does anyone have a vintage Borsalino in 7 1/2 to trade for it?

Sure doesn't look like a Borsalino.

I thought it was worth a shot and hell I think i can demand refund if it isn't couldn't I?

Maybe Steve or Manfred could weigh in . . . I know nothing about German hats.

EDIT: or Robert!

Many Europeans use the term "Borsalino" as Americans do "Fedora", so it often does not denote the maker.

Does anyone know when Borsalino started using labels with 3 different sizes? (EX. 7 3/8 6 59)

Here is the first of three Borsalinos that I bid on and won while traveling last week.

Super sweet lid and a color to die for! I want one!

Any other thoughts about the possible age of my Via Veneto? Googling that name turns up very little information.

Flatland, the liner and the model name on the sweat in quotes look like my "Savoy" model. I purchased it from Lounger Bond, and he said it was from the Sixties. Mine's not as stingy a brim, though -- 2 3/8".

Borsalino Como

I'm wearing my Borsalino Como in Brown. The only complaint is that the stitching on the headband digs into my forehead a little. Ive heard of this complaint from others with the newer Borsalinos. But, we can take a cue from the lady's who insist on a little pain with there fashion sense. :doh:
