No problem. I was surprised a bit that it is marked as "imported by Bencraft" so it should have US sizing.

I would think it would have US sizing. Way too big for my noggin.

Do you know the age of the hat?

 

[Purplesage]

jhe888 I don't know the age of the hat. Probably mid 50s or newer. Wish I could be more helpful. If you're looking for a dark brown Open Road type Borso this is a nice one regardless of the age.
