gtdean48 said:Yes. I have a somewhat modern Borsalino, purchased in late 1980s & a vintage Borsalino, early 1950s. Beaver in dress weight will be more substantial than either of them but has a different hand to it. If he still has any featherweight felt, then that will be even closer to the hand of the vintage Borso. My 2 VS Customs are of this felt.
Good post. :eusa_clap Beaver is going to give you a more dense / durable finish. I don't buy into it being superior because of cost. Some of my best vintage felts are rabbit / hare.
