Looks like this hat might be sold. I have a local friend who will take it if it fits him. If it doesn't I will probably list it on Ebay.
Thanks for looking.
Aureliano,
I think the size may vary slightly from hat to hat. The reason I say that is when I bought mine they had two 7 3/8ths out on the rack. One fit perfectly and the other was a little tight but not too bad. I could have lived with it if I had to.
I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd paste the link below to some cheap hat storage boxes. I just ordered some but haven't received them yet. When I do I'll give an update.

The pin was the first thing to go on this hat and my new felt Stratoliner. They are so cheap and look out of place that I don't know why Stetson bothers to put them on such nice hats. They also appear to be a 707 and not a Stratoliner. The originals were actually DC-3's but at least they were...
Mine is the same as Grizzly's. Crown is pretty stiff, sides or a bit softer.
They had the gray ones there too but to be honest, I didn't really care for them. The gray color seemed to make them look more "plastic" and not straw. They look much better in the photo you posted Aureliano than in...
I picked one of these up at Paris Hatters today too. The tag says it is a 2 1/2" brim. I measured it though and it came in a little shorter at 2 3/8". Nice hat for the price though.
DougC, I'd be interested in seeing what Paris Hatters does with your brim. My front brim snaps down fine but...
LoveMyHats2,
I'm sorry I'm just now responding. Somehow I missed your posts and picture. Thanks for taking the time to do that. I really appreciate it.
I ordered one and it arrived yesterday. I can't really see any green tint to it but it is a beautiful gray with a darker gray ribbon. I'm...
I just found this thread but I've been buying SunBody hats for years. A great hat for the hot South Texas summers. Congratulations on the job Coble. Sounds like a great job for someone who appreciates hats.
Hi Rick,
I'm aware they are still made but I thought I'd look around for an older one first before ordering new.
I'm not really sure what vintage. I really don't know much about them but like the way the older ones look. I'm just assuming that Borsalinos are like older Open Roads the felt...
Hi Bond,
I realize my chances were pretty slim but I thought I post this anyway.
I did see the hat Boss is selling but I'm afraid it might be a little big for me. I'm closer to a 3/8 than a 1/2. Very nice looking hat though.
I was wearing your old Open Road today. The local hat shop is...
I'd like to find a Borsalino Alessandria in Silverbelly or whatever their similar color is called. I normally wear a 7 3/8 long oval or a small fitting 7 1/2. If somebody has one they would like to sell please let me know. Thanks.
I've looked around the forum and this thread but couldn't find a definitive answer so I'll ask it here.
Where is the best place to buy a new Borsalino Alessandria if you live in the US?
Thanks for your help.
Just a little update on my new Akubra Campdraft Deluxe in size 60. I put some sizing spacers in it and I'm afraid it is just too big. I've decided to sell it and wait for the size 59 I ordered. If anybody would like it just send me a PM and I'm sure we can work something out. If nobody here...
