In case anyone is a size 7 or so - I sold these two hats on ebay but the winner turned out to be a deadbeat (after several weeks of stringing me along, no payment - bummer! ). One is a Borsalino, size 7 1/8. The second is a Brandolini (Borsalino clone), size 6 7/8. They are practically identical, both black with wide brims, wide ribbons and wind trolleys, and both are in excellent shape.
I will probably re-list in another few days but since I've seen some new members lately I just wanted to see if anyone here on FL is interested first. I will sell both pairs together or one alone, or do trades (1 for 1, 2 for 1, etc.). I was basically selling these for a friend who doesn't ebay, but he told me if I can get a hat out of it for myself, that'd be fine!
I am a 7 3/8 - 7 1/2, long oval even better, please pm me if you have something and let's make a deal!
Here's pics of The Borsalino:
The Borsalino measures just under 22" around the sweatband (21 15/16"). It has a 3 1/2" wide Brim and the crown is about 5 1/2" high at its center sloping down to just under 5 " at the front and rear. The ribbon is a hair under 2" (1 15/16"). The gold stampings on the black leather sweatband are very strong. The hat looks like it may have been worn a few times but there are no obvious signs of use or wear. The leather sweatband looks very clean and fresh. The bottom of the hat shows a small stain on the brim near the left temple area. It is not large and you can't see it when the hat is worn. This is the only blemish/issue with the hat that I can find - otherwise it looks new. This and the other hat are true BLACK, though the flash makes them look lighter in the photos.
