Borsalino from Roma

[Tony in Tarzana]

I won this one a while back and haven't said much about it. Frankly it's not my nicest Borsalino, the felt has none of that butter softness of my other Borsas.

Having said that, it's still a nice hat and I like the fact that it was first sold in The Eternal City.

Here are some pictures. Notice it has that corrugated thingamajig under the forward part of the sweatband. Click the smaller thumbnails for the bigger versions.

Seems to be a decent hat Tony. The stitching looks really good. The more I think about it that corrugation is a great idea for allowing air to pass under the hat.

Geez, if that's your crummy hat... looks great to me.

 

[Dinerman]

I like it. i especially like that the band matches the color of the hat, instead of the standard black ribbon.

TNT, looks like a keeper to me. It's a fine looking hat. What are the dimensions?

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

4-3/4" crown, bashed and a 2-3/8" brim.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, it's just not that super-soft Borsa felt we all know and love.

Hey if you got it for a decent price it's a fine hat.:fedora:

That brim is 2 3/8! Never woulda thunk it from the pics. Looks much stingier.

@Baron Kurtz: Exactly my thoughts![huh]

@Tony: Looks very nice!

BTW- You seem to be a very lucky guy! By now I haven't seen a hat that didn't suit you!:eusa_clap

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

Yep, the brim is 2-3/8", I just measured it again.

Boy, am I starting to get that W.C. Fields stuff on the side of my nose? Like father, like son, I guess.
