What's with the "Large" size tag? Is that a Borsalino tag?
I have this hat at Optimo Hats and they say the hat is from the late 1930s or early 1940s. and 100% Beaver, Like Bob said. I don't really care I got it for a good price (my opinion) and love the hat... I should get it back sometime next week, I'll post pictures when it comes in before and after...Up to this point I thought Borsalino did not reveal the beaver content of its hats during vintage times, and I am not sure this is a clear change. I see the Marque Grand Luxe, but I do not see where this is clearly claimed as 100% beaver. I have seen very few (if any!) of these, so I will allow that it might be 100% beaver and a superior felt, just not seeing the clear claim to that effect (a Stetson claiming '7X Clear Beaver Quality' is a rather clear claim). Maybe there are some advertisements that explain 'Marque Grand Luxe' is 100% beaver?
I couldn't tell you guys that. Like I said I don't care I just liked the hat and bought it, I told somebody I would post what Graham at Optimo said about it. It doesn't matter to me if it were made of burlap sacks I just liked the hat. hahaha Thanks guys.How, exactly, are they (people/experts/Optimo) determining the origin of the fur?

We're not talking the same hat here.
I just picked one up online with xxxxxx it's like a black emerald looking color it's immaculate it came with the Box triangle box don't know the year but it's definitely beaver
Wild Hare is best for Velour and high gloss. See my above post. Also read this article.If not Beaver then what do you think is it it looks like a velvet it as the 6 xxxxxx
