Gorgeous hat in a beautiful color. The size would fit for my misshapen head, however unsure about the narrow ribbon makes me wonder. The top of the hat would probably appear too tall/big for me, I feel more comfortable with a wider ribbon. I could have it shipped to either the US or to Germany.

A comment from the one who found it, along with many others: this is a particular Borsalino which is not very attributable to the Borsalino classics. They are for me, Italian collector, the rarest because they are different. It's too big for me, otherwise I would never have put it on the market. One last note on the proportions of the hats: it is the hatter who decides the balance between brim and crown, height of the ribbon and color and finish of the felt, we can assent or disagree according to our tastes, however this Borsalino is a rarity well little findable in the future.

I love when I come across a ribbon style I have never seen before. Too bad the hat is too large.
