Vintage Rollable borsalino

[Dinerman]

It came today, rolled up inside one of those tiny triangular hat boxes.
I little bit of steam, and most of the wrinkles fell right out.

I love the color of this hat.

and this is what it looked like in the ebay listing. It was listed as a womens hat.

Dinerman you dog!!!

I was wondering who the eaby sniper was that plucked it from my trembling hands with only 2 seconds to go on the listing. :eusa_doh:

NP Enjoy the hat, There will always be another one somewhere down the line.

BTW Since I now know that the bidder ID belongs to you, I will cancel the retaliation that I've been planning to dole out to the unsuspecting rascal.

Wow! I thought that one would have to be blocked twice to get it look good again.

It should be a great hat for travelling!



Regards,
Henrik

Oh man, I wish it would be, but this one belongs to Dinerman!

Very nice !! I doubt that Borsalino could ever make a hat like that today. The box is neat too. The first one that I've seen with the picture on it. I'd date the hat from around 1950.

Great color, great ribbon, and great eye to have the notion that the auction photo could blossom into such a hat. Looks great on you, too. Congrats!:eusa_clap

Fantastic hat Dinerman! I love the width of that ribbon. Looks good on you, I'm sure that hat will get plenty of wear!

Great hat! You've inspired me. I think I have seen two in my searches but none yet in my size. If there's a size 7 out there it would be perfect for client visits...
