Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

"Wool" Borsa
Here's hoping by "S" seller meant 5 1/2 or 6
I figured it's worth $60 shipped to find out.

Beautiful

those “wool” hats are some of the best <wink>

Tempted, and not long ago I would have grabbed it, but it’s hard to spend my custom hat money on a novelty hat. Then again it does have a 3” brim....

I may have thought of you as soon as I saw this listing. And by may I mean I almost sent you the link.

I’ve gone back to look at it several times.

I could pull that off! It reminds me of Art’s tag line: The Quiet Elegance of Bespoke.

That's a nice catch, Mike. Be sure to post it in the Borsalino brotherhood once it arrives. I'm thinking the S might actually be a 5, or an American 7 1/8. How's that for wishful thinking?

I do like my blue hats, but to wear this one I think you would need a stable of b..tches

The color, bash and overall shape of this one looked very familiar to me, so I had to go back to eBay and search around. I was afraid someone was selling the same hat twice, or at least borrowing the same pictures.

Alas, relief! It was a Royal Stetson listed for $190.

Your "wool" Borsalino looks to be a wonderful find!

I asked the seller: The auction is only for the hat

I was tempted to message you about that one, but I remembered you once posted about a hat that was "too blue"

Just out of some weird compulsion, I made the seller an offer that he refused. Glad he didn’t accept.

Anyone have experience with eBay seller atelierdescharliecanari? Lots of Borsalinos. Many look like they need some “love”. Looks like you can pick one up for $63 shipped. The time to get it presentable doesn’t bother me, but all I know about Borsalino hats is that most are expensive.

100% feedback on 110 comments in the last year is pretty solid. Nothing in my size, sadly.

I don't think I've bought from him, but there are some nice ones on offer. Well, they are Borsalino hats after all. Most of them are from the seventies by the looks of it though, which is not Borsalino's best period.
