Borsalino Georgio?

[kasperbs]

Hi,
I have been looking at this Borsalino Georgio hat with interest, but I can't seem to find anything useful on the particular model.

Does anyone know anything about this model? It seems there is one called Giorgio, but the brim on that seem much larger than 55 mm. (1 1/8'')?

IMO for that price 169 euros. You could find a vintage borso stunner! And those increase in value if you decide to sell it.

Thanks for your input. Where would you look for vintage hats? eBay?

Totally agree. To see how far the Quality of the Borsa brand has fallen, do an enlargement of their pic.

You will clearly see the four stitches on the closer bow front and another stitch on the band, centre midpoint

at the hat's front. Unseen will be another four visible threads which "peek - out" from the rear part of the bow,

another matching thread on the left side of the band and another situated on the rear area of the band.

To compound their above Quality Problem, the liner is glued in. Save your money; buy vintage.
