Borsalino Mascotte

[jimmy the lid]

Here is another one of my grandfather's hats that has been passed along to me. My father believes that it was purchased by my grandfather on a trip to Italy sometime around 1950. I would welcome any light you Borsalino experts could shed on this hat...

Many thanks!

Cheers,

Wow, it looks so fuzzy!

A pretty cool hat, actually. I haven't seen anything like it before.

That's a gorgeous hat. it's amazing how many different fuzzy finishes borsalino had.

I'm with you, Jerekson and D-man. Generally speaking, I'm not a "fuzzy finish" kind of guy, but I really do think that this is a very cool looking hat.

Besdor, if you're out there -- any ideas about the background of this Borsalino?

Thanks,
Jimmy
