The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

Traded this a long time a ago with @PanosChris and this week it made it back to me from my hatter (long story). I thought it would look much better with a grosgrain ribbon, instead of the felted ribbon it came with. I'm happy wit the results.
Borsalino MGL Deliaspo in a brown colour called Muflone. Size 57 with the underwelt brim at 7cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Gorgeous chamois felt we've come to expect from the MGL hats.

I have to say, replacing the felt ribbon with Grosgrain was a great idea! Maybe because I'm not a fan of felt ribbons, but between the color, the width, and the texture, the new ribbon takes it from a "kick around" hat to at least semi-dress. So much nicer!

Thank you, Alex. Felt ribbons are hard to pull off; they rarely work on hats. This was the better option for this hat.
