Very nice.The 50s Borslaino arrived last night. Amazing, super malleable felt. Better in person than the pictures show.

Hahahahaha. Cant blame a man for trying. Id like to see that "letter of authenticity". [emoji849]I sent the seller a note. He sent me back the letter of authenticity. I let him know the features of his hat that dated it to the 1960's. He says he might have it DNA tested. Oh well, I tried.
I'd like to know where he got a control sample of Al Capone's DNA to test it against...Hahahahaha. Cant blame a man for trying. Id like to see that "letter of authenticity". [emoji849]

He could tell you, but then he would have to kill you. [emoji14]I'd like to know where he got a control sample of Al Capone's DNA to test it against...
I'd love to see the letter of authenticity, and who signed it.I sent the seller a note. He sent me back the letter of authenticity. I let him know the features of his hat that dated it to the 1960's. He says he might have it DNA tested. Oh well, I tried.
Here ya go! No signature ..... but it states " It's guaranteed authentic for life" Haha. Whatever that means.I'd love to see the letter of authenticity, and who signed it.
I want Marvin the Martian's hat!I bet you could find one just like it for about $750 cheaper. You could make your own fake COA saying it was Capone's if you like. Heck, you could even say it was Marvin the Martian or Bigfoot's hat if you wanted.
timothiescloset never ceases to amaze me, honestly. In the description it says "we can sell a vintage box with it for an extra 20-40" hehehe. He's actually the reason why a lot of people at school think I'm a Rockefeller since I sport vintage clothing almost all the time. They think every vintage seller is a timothiescloset, in a way . I actually have one of his hats in my watch list, it's a $200 1940's homburg with its box. Thinking I can haggle the price down a bit, however.This must have belonged to Mussolini himself....

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Own the "authentic" Alphonse Capone hat from the [sic] 1930s! Described as a Pork Pie????This seems a bit fishy to me. A lot of money for a hat way too new to have belonged to Al Capone.

Al's grandson maybe...
This is a "modern" Borsalino, see the brand on the bow, so made in the last twenty years or so.This must have belonged to Mussolini himself....

Wonderful looking hat! The Savoy is a great model. Great catch!The 50s Borslaino arrived last night. Amazing, super malleable felt. Better in person than the pictures show.
