Here is a is a Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe vintage beaver fedora. This fedora has been professionally dry cleaned and is ready for a true 7-1/4” head to proudly sit atop. I acquired the fedora from a family member that was more a collector than a hat enthusiast and evidence shows it was rarely, if ever worn. It is believed to be a 100% beaver fur specimen and it is truly magnificent. It was created by the Borsalino hat company in Alessandria, Italy, sometime between 1940 and 1948. The features would include a 2 1-2" brim, 6" crown unformed, gold embossed leather sweatband, and 1 1-4'' bowed hatband.

This fedora will be available on ebay in Mid-March.
My intention is to either list the hat at $4 and hope to ignite a bidding war or list it at $325 and hope for a few high bidders. I’m leaning toward the latter option. I've had a startlingly high number of people contact me with interest in the fedora so I am hesitant to sell it without an auction but I would for the right price.
Reguards,
Robert
