Vintage Borsalino "Pocket Hat" 7 1/4

[bond]

Beautiful Borsalino "Pocket Hat" in 7 1/4 or Punti 5 1/2.
Color is a brownish khaki. Really a sweet lid with lots of character. What's nice about this one is that it has a liner. No flaws at all. Felt is really nice and will take any bash. Liner, leather sweat and ribbon are in excellent condition. Hat does not appear to have been worn very much.
Brim is 2 1/8 and although it may seem small it really works with the over all symmetry of the hat .
I would really love to keep this one but its too small for my 3/8 size head.
Measures 7 3/4 x 6 5/8.as bashed front is 4 1/2 rear at 3.
Don't miss out in this awesome vintage Borsalino !
Asking 135.

All right, I'll go to the headshrinker. Been told I need it, and to fit into this hat...

I know what you mean. I thought you might like this one Mike.

BUMP.This is really a sweet hat. Dont let the brim size fool you. If you have a narrow or slender face this hat will definitely work for you.
And the felt has a nice hand to it.

Bump. 125. For this beauty.

And I have a long, thin face...beard saves it, says Mrs Idea...could you stretch this baby to a 3/8 L/O???
or should I simply show some patience-

Bond,
Do you think this fedora would fit an 23 1/4 inch head?
Thank you

No Sir, I Wouldnt try stretching it . Its fine as is, and I can say that its snug on my 3/8 LO head and yet as much as I love this
hat its really meant for a 1/4 size head.
Thats how it goes, (Dont worry there will be more Borsos to be had)
I have a sweet 3/8 stingy ,2" brim with cav edge, that I am working on in grey and hope to have finished next wk. Will post when finished.

Hi Bond,
New to Borsolinos and live in an area with few hat resources, is the hat pretty much good to wear as is? Also wondering if rolling is stil do-able since it is vintage.
Thanks!

Hi, VT,yes this hat is good to wear as is.This is a light weight felt and a smaller stature than a full size dress weight felt. I suppose it could be folded up if one wanted as its very pliable.
Thanks for asking

Hey VT- buy the hat!!! Bond has terrific hats, and if it's your size-don't pass it up; been trying to find one in my size for a while-and this guy's
one of the best sellers of fine Fedoras out there; good luck from a South Woodstock alumni...

 

[VTporkpie]

Hi all and thanks for the advice! I think I'll be writing a note if this hat is still availiable.

Thanks bond and ideaguy!
