The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[rlk]

I haven't found a wholesaler's Borsalino Catalog where they might appear. Retail Catalogs have model names that do not appear on the hats too.

1910 Catalog

 

[Aureliano]

I was told at the museum in Alessandria that some of those are names of folks or variations of folk's names.

Alan, It would be interesting to compile a list of all the names.

Robert, What a catalog! I wish I could see inside it.

Ale, Great to you see back! Makes sense. I have a cousin that lives in Alessandria‎ and is now in his 80s. He has been there most of his life so I am sure he knows people that go way back at Borsalino. I definitely need to go visit him.

Manfred, Fantastic finds! The old film is beyond amazing! It's from G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. (the other Borsalino). It's earlier than the Stetson film that everyone raved about. This made my day! Thanks!

Great films, Manfred. I particularly enjoyed the first -right through from the Robinson Crusoe scenes to the football match (not to mention the hat production!).

Steve - I'm ignorant of this 'other Borsalino'. Can you tell me anymore?

Richard, The old G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. film is a treasure!

The following link will tell you about G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C..

Mike, thank you!

My two Borsalino's The stingy found at an antique store, and the open crown from craigslist in Denver. They were $30 apiece so even though I am a hat novice, I didn't think I could go too wrong.

The open crown,

Wonderful glimpse into the past, thank you for sharing it, Manfred. Interesting to see so many women working in the manufacturing areas. In the Stetson film there is nary a woman until you reach the finishing shop.

Thanks Alan! Gladly done. It's an amazing Film!
