Sad news
It reopens the Borsalino crisis. It was revoked the admission of the historical company of hats to the courts, after the ok to the procedure took place on 17 March. Now the brand of Alessandria, known throughout the world, you could outline the bankruptcy petition, which could reopen the games on the property. All this, despite, as reported by local newspapers, the positive results recorded in 2015: 15 million euro turnover against 13.5 in 2014 and a million useful. By 2016 it is expected to close with a new substantial growth. Meanwhile, today is expected the meeting of 120 employees of the Borsalino.
The story of the Borsalino is linked to the big crash by 3 billion the financier Marco Marenco that time it held the majority stake. In 2015, for the brand had been agreed at the request of the White procedure. In December last year, the Italian entrepreneur Philippe Camperio, along with a group of experts in luxury and private equity, was entered in the operation of Borsalino restructuring through Haeres equity company which then leased the branch ' company. On March 17, the Alexandria Court had admitted the arrangement Borsalino subject to the transfer of the brand in Camperio finished. In June, the meeting was scheduled with the creditors, with the intention of preserving more than 100 jobs. As reported by the local press, as a result of this meeting has not happened any rescheduling of debts to creditors and have not been honored the commitments made before the judges of the Court of Alessandria. This would be the motivation behind the process of the withdrawal decision which marks a new stop to the rescue of the historic brand.
Second point of view
Alessandria is mobilized for Borsalino, icon of the world's headgear, after the judges' decision to revoke the pre-bankruptcy. The city administration has announced the opening of a permanent crisis table, open to everyone involved, while the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria has announced its willingness to cover the costs of any appeal in the Supreme Court of the 130 employees, which today they gathered at the meeting and have since kept a garrison in the town. "I respect the independence of the judiciary, but it would be a crime to open bankruptcy proceedings for a company that had a turnover, secures jobs and is an element of attraction for the whole territory, as well as a guarantee for the future of the city," says the mayor of Alessandria, Red Rita Rosso. "I hope that common sense prevails - adds the president of the Foundation CrA, Pier Angelo Taverna -. The journey made thus far made it possible to find a serious investor (the Italian-Swiss Philippe Camperio, editor's note), which has employees at heart which poured 15 million to guarantee the agreed and has paid 8.5 to settle the debt with the Inland revenue. There is a brand, which is among the most popular in the world, we can not afford failure. "

The cause of this problem is due to the mismanagement of the company by the Marenco and Gallo family. They basicaly took all of the money out of the company and left them with nothing. The new director of the company Marco Moccia decided to change everything and has hurt many people in the process of doing so. I do not feel bad for the new owners as they will probably destroy what is left of the company. My hope is that the courts will allow a new owner to come in a try to fix this big mess.

Inherited this hat from my Grandfather and unfortunately it does not fit my oval head. Would be interested in any advice or information from the Brotherhood regarding vintage, value or whatever. This will likely go to eBay or classifieds so that someone can enjoy the hat as it seems pretty darn nice. Thanks, Mortimer.

Please help me understand: This hat seems pretty large, as it fits my 7 3/8 oval head front to back, with lots of room on the sides. But the tag says 6 1/2 which would typically be a smaller hat. how do I accurately size this hat?
The 6 1/2 is the French size, which corresponds to a UK 7 3/8 (or US 7 1/2 or EU 60)
Beautiful hat by the way.

For those of you interested in purchasing the hat, my plans are to put it on eBay for a 7 day auction with a starting price of $250 plus actual shipping. If you want to save me the hassle of posting, please PM me with an offer above that amount. I am a trusted eBay seller with 100% rating.
Absolutely gorgeous hat. I wish I could make you an offer but year end expenses (and other hat purchases this year) has me pulling in the purse strings.
I picked up a very nice Borsalino for my daughter earlier this year and it came with the same box you have pictured here. It was advertised as a 1950's hat. I won it on the 'bay for less than a Benjamin. The smaller sizes seem to be easier to pick up and for less $$.
Again, beautiful hat. I wish I had my grandfather's hat....

This manifesto (designed by Marcello Dudovich) that Antica Casa S. A. Giuseppe Borsalino e fratello conceived and created when the competition of rival G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro, appeared increasingly strong
It 's back, sadly, topical these days of sea in tempest for the current Borsalino
This is unfortunate,imo.
This did not happen overnight. Years of mismanagement and trying to be another big italian brand like Gucci and Prada is what started the problems. The current CEO of the company hurt a lot of people in the past year and a half by doing things his way. Lets hope that a new owner will change things for the better.
