Looking for new or vintage meduim grey Borsalino, with high untapered crown in size 57 7 1/8 with a 2 1/2 to 2 5/8 brim

Ebay had one or two of those recently. May even still be there but I can't post links as the auctions are not my own. Good luck!

The second hand shops here in Rome have a whole lot of vintage Borsos, I can check it out for you, but the problem is is that your size is smaller than mine, so it might be difficult to trade. If you have anything in a large 7 1/4 - 7 1/2 (I wear a 7 3/8 but I am not picky about fit) we talk.

I have 1 gray fedora in a 7 1/4 with 2 1/2 brim, and a 5 1/2 open crown. I will include my 1872 wooden top hat saddle case(great condition) free of charge as These vintage Borsalino's are my dream. The case itself is probably more valuable than the Borso's but I don't need it and I really appreciate you doing this for me. Please get back to me asap.

I think you have an idea what I am looking for. If you find exactly what I want I will also include my 18k GOLD plated Raymond Weil watch for free! Thats how much I want that Borsalino in that meduim bluish grey, with a high crown, and a 2 1/2- 2 5/8 brim.

What about your car? Is that part of the deal?:p :p
You're VERY generous, Nicholas but I'm sure Yeps would be glad, as I'd be, to just look for your hat and bring it over only to get whatever it cost. Good luck on your new quest. I thought the Christys was your holy grail[huh]

I forgot to mention that in the private message. I might be interested in the 7 1/4 hat if I find anything, but your whole offer does seem a little excessive. I would gladly just resell it to you (although with shipping costs). Right now I am trying to either get my hands on a vintage OR style hat or possible buy myself a Campdraft (either one in silverbelly. I like silverbelly, it seems like a really versatile color)

Beautiful hat! The brim looks a little short for my taste. Do you still have that photo image website of your current hats? Maybe we could work something out if I saw one on the site.

I have removed the images from that site. This Borsalino is actually a size 7 anyway. Was using this hat for reference in case someone came across something similar for you in a 7 1/8.

I currently only have four hats in 7 1/8 and they are all ancient straw boaters none of which are medium grey ;)
