The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Thanks Steve. This Borsalino is one of the oddities of the Alessandria house. I immediately thought of something unusual, suitable for some special occasion as the hat is a crossover of various styles. It is particular like many others of Borsalino's "oddities" production. Why it remained unsold...- Daniele Tanto

Grazie Steve. I believe the felt is a production made outside Italy in those years, even if I struggle to date it, as the hatter has left no trace and has components that are similar to some hats found in Mantua. It has an above average quality and however, as you point out, it is a rarity...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Often on the Italian market of antique or vintage hats Borsalinos appear that have some quirks in their shape, color or construction. Most are "children of fashion" or of certain needs of some large retailer. I give up 99% of the cases because they often have no appeal. When I saw this I awoke...- Daniele Tanto

When it appeared on the market, I checked my conscience, asking myself: how many black velour hats did you have in your hands without them being your size? I was, however, attracted to a black velour hat made by a Milanese hatter I had never heard of. Usually these are hats that were produced...- Daniele Tanto

Borsalino produced millions of hats in all possible and imaginable shapes, this in the golden age of hats. Every so often I find oddities on the Italian market and this is one. I have never had a great passion for bowler hats and I have had very beautiful ones that have found a new owner...- Daniele Tanto

Deep autumn is coming. The fog was almost near the hills this morning Shy sun in the middle of the day and so today we help Panos in his parade of antique hats. Thibet made in France sold by the "A. Meer" hat shop in Strasbourg in the thirties or maybe earlier, who knows. Felt is wool...- Daniele Tanto

Another day of changeable weather and another gray hat This time the Italian manufacturer is unknown because the brand under which it was marketed is very unlikely: Golden Star. The hat is well made and the felt is great, the color is a light gray with contrasting black ribbon with raw brims...- Daniele Tanto

Windy day with occasional rain. Leaden colors and I was lucky enough to make some commissions without rain. The hat that accompanied me is one of the most used Borsalinos I have in my collection. The felt is gorgeous, but the sweatband needs some care. It has a particularity that it has...- Daniele Tanto

For a hat that is too small there is one that is too large and this too had to be my size. The result of an exchange with my friend Stefan, it turned out to be too wide for my head despite being a 6 1/2 or 60 cm. It passed through the talented hands of Fleur and I asked her to change the...- Daniele Tanto
