Borsalino from the fifties restored with craftmanship in BSHW - USA

Bob provided new ribbon with Borsalino bow and vintage Borsalino lining and new sweatband

"Dattero" is the color and the rest is vanished

The Borsalino arrived in bad conditions with some issues and the pinches very used

Bob shaped it as a Italian Borsalino in the forties I was not convinced firstly, then one day I had it on the head, an old man look at me and said "this is a true hat, surely a Borsalino, it is fantastic". All said in our vernacular idioms of Verona
This was one of the best compliment I had in the last months

So here it is to catch the midday sun

Thanks for your kind words on Borsalino ice-blue long hair

Nice hat, nice restoration, Daniele. "Dattero" - Date colored? Or maybe suitable for wearing on a date? Either way, great hat and you look good this AM. Hope you're better rested, too.

The sun came out earlier during my walk, made me sweat up ny hat shirt and jacket, so 'tis a two-hat (and shirt and jacket) day. The Mallory Ten with a dye. Plus a G-1

Now it looks like rain again...:( Probably need to break out the trench.

Sent from thin air using electricity and other wizardry.
Nice.

That face on the dye reminds me of angry Ike from South Park. Even better.

So many excellent hats on display here yesterday and today, I wish I had the time to comment on all of them. No such luck, so just a few highlights...

@moehawk - great looking Tonak! Lovely texture, colour and shape, and that bow is the icing on the cake :)

@mayserwegener - another really interesting mystery hat, I really like the shape of this one. Who'd guess the "primitive" construction if they didn't see the inside?

@moontheloon - thanks for the beautiful pictures of that borsalino, I love seeing these original boxes.

@JDH 1911 - welcome to the lounge. Beautiful hat you inherited from your grandfather!

@Wesslyn - great hat and suit combo!

@Dlaniger - very elegant indeed. Perfect with that overcoat.

@Daniele Tanto - Molto bello! My compliments to Bob for the great restoration work. I am glad that you have come to like the hat, even though it is not perhaps your usual style.

Temperatures here are still below zero, so I'm sticking to the furry hats. I need to find myself some of those ear muffs @Knotten has so I can venture out in a proper hat again!
