That manufacturer's tag has the block depth so it is not later than late 50s and the pleated liners are usually even earlier, though they may have used pleated liners later on bowlers.
Hard to tell if the suit is brown or navy from the pic but either way it looks good. Don't be too rigid with the colors. The reason there are so many vintage brown and gray hats available now is simply that they go with almost anything and most guys in the golden age probably only had one hat so...
This is an Alessandria I found on eBay a few weeks ago. Needed cleaning and the liner is pretty faded but otherwise in great condition. Color is Avorio or ivory which looks more like natural to me. The felt on this one is a bit heavier and firmer than I usually expect from a Borsalino.
