The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
So true. I bought my last new Alessandria from Joe Peters in mid-1980's when I was doing a job in Ft Worth area. -

Thanks Jeff. My reference for modern Borso is the mid 80s! -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Okay, but Borsalino usually puts X's or BEAVER clearly on the sweatband to differentiate from their rabbit/hair blend furs. This hat doesn't show that, so you need to substantiate your beaver fur felt claim better. Plus specify the model that can show the $400+ price tag. Nice friends to... -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
At the discounted price, $160, I'd say it is close. If it had the Royal Deluxe sweatband of the earlier Premiere Strats, I'd say yes. The script Premiere Stratoliner sweat is a step backwards & a little disappointing to me when I got it. I also was disappointed the liner didn't have Royal... -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
The felt on the vintage is lighter than the Premiere but feels tighter & better hand (dead felt for sure). The Mink Premiere is heavier than the Silverbelly, some due to the wider sweatband but also the felt feels heavier. The vintage has been in an original Stratoliner box so its flange is more... -

Anyone know anything about this hatmaker Daquino?
Oh yes. She had to contact Fepsa to figure out if she could get my dimensions. Still a bargain price for a 100% beaver lid tho.... -

The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}
Premiere Stratoliner is Royal Deluxe grade. The regular Royal Stetson grade Stratoliner model doesn't come in Cornhill. Sounds like you have 2 Premiere Strats, one in Mink & one in Cornhill. I think only change is sweatbands of newer Premiere Strats don't say Royal Deluxe like the first ones did...
