Clearly a great find! We have the company presentation with attached hat catalog a few years before the First World War. We are at the beginning of the industrial and commercial adventure of G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro. The catalog is made up of a company monograph and the production catalog of...

I was hoping for an Easter under the brims of G. B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro considering the discovery of the catalogue, but in any case these are, in order, my favourites for Easter

Stefan, I'm taking them all this week. It's too much the lack of my hats locked up in prison. They are all singing "I will be relased"

Bellissimo!

A new vintage Borsalino arrived yesterday in a bag, completely squashed. No steam at all, only a small brushing and here it is I bought it for the color and the finish of the felt. "Folco" is a color that I love very much in the Borsalino range and the finish as well. It is not antique, in...

Fantastici!

Going home from my office/studio. A grey day to be the first of springtime. French cap in blue velour

These are my favorites today. In order of appearance!

@rougeclimber I found a photo I took three weeks ago of the hat storage room. This is my room where I work for pleasure after retirement, surrounded by hats. 80% of the boxes you see on the left and right are full of hats to sell. The two closets are full of my collection as are the boxes above...
