Thanks for the great recording. The antiquities are such a rich contrast to the modern samples. The new catalog looks interesting.

Fantastic peek into the history and world of Borsalino, Thank you again, Steve and Daniele. The "showroom" is also a museum!

What's this...? And why does it look sooooooo fat...? And why is it sooooooo straight sided...? And why is there sooooooo little taper...? Is it an Alesandria? If so, it doesn't look like any I've seen...

 

[mayserwegener]

Sorry the photo is blurry. Daniele might be able to find out the model.

I see a thin ribbon and a trolley button and a finished brim but the brim seems a bit smaller and the crown seems ALOT fatter...

 

[Daniele Tanto]

112836 is the number of the hat, in the catalogue, more similar to the one you like, but I'm not sure....
The best way to know about the fat crown Borsalino is Besdor (Steven) he has more knowledge than mine about actual and old Borsalinos or inquire directly to Bencraft
The last possibility, for my side, is to try to ask directly in Borsalino

Thank you. I will ask and post any info.

I noticed that full-crowned model floating seemingly in air, and then the thin-ribboned 112836 model in the catalog. Interesting that it's the same one. A new Alessandria, perhaps . . .? I'm waiting to hear.

I'd like to know more about it.

I really think it's the Alessandria but maybe a particularly nice one they put on a big fat block. Special for the showroom floor...? #112836 is the cat # for the Alessandria but is that SPECIFIC hat IN THE PHOTO (in fact) an "Alessandria" ??? Thats the question.
