Borsalino Qualità Suprema, size 6 1/2 or 60 cm., 7 1/2 US

Color is "Dattero" and the type is "Mula" I have not inspected well because I fear the old sweatband could be damaged

This is the lobbia (homburg) with more rounded wide brim

Felt is dense and firm, made probably before the WWII was sold in Padua, not so far from Verona

Buon lunedì a tutti
Thanks for the likes on the Borsalino thin "shark gill" ribbon!
Magnificent!

Dressing up with my Biltmore Western conversion. This was another small Western that I sized up and converted. It started out as a size 6 3/4 and I blocked it up to a 7 1/4. I also reworked the felt and gave it a smooth 'brushed velour' finish. The crown is very tall and straight with a 2 3/4 snap brim.

This one was converted on a Walnut block that fellow Lounger, 'Rockwater', made for me...

That is indeed some crown on that hat. Still one of your best conversions, Terry. A beaut.

Thank you steur! As creased, the crown stands at an all around five inches tall. The open crown is a straight sided six inches tall. I converted this one on a Walnut block that fellow Lounger, Rockwater made for me.
