Two vintage 1950s Borsalino plus the 2011 Borsalino "Film". Package deals welcome.
All of them are size 7 1/8 and fit accordingly.
All of them are in very good condition, sweatbands are intact all around. Please see pics.

Borsalino 1950s Etrusgu - Condor c. blenda
Etrusgu = model name
Condo = felt colour very similar to Winchester's pecan
blenda = ribbon colour tonal to the felt colour
2 1/2" brim
Cavanagh edge
€140.- plus shipping

Borsalino Film grey 2011
2 3/8" (a tad wider) brim
raw edge
€145.- plus shipping
And here is my review from when I first posted this hat:
https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/side-by-side-hat-comparisons.65983/#post-1500576

Borsalino (no model name) warm mid-grey with lavender ribbon (Aureliano), the felt is similar but not identical to Winchester's granite.
2 3/8" (a tad wider) brim
raw edge
€100.- plus shipping

My suggestion for a package deal: All three hats for €300.- plus shipping

Shipping cost for a fully tracked parcel:
Within Germany: €6.-
Within EU: €16.-
To the U.S.: €35.- (the actual shipping for me will be €54.- for premium service, the fastest option currently available given the situation; I will cover the surcharge.

Anyone buying from the States is therefore more than welcome to buy more than one hat as I'm losing €19.- on a shipment.

Payment by PayPal friends & family, please.

Pics to follow below.

If you're interested, please PM me. I may not be checking the Classifieds daily, but emails (thus PMs) will be replied to daily.

If it helps to make it more interesting to U.S. buyers, I also have lots of original vintage rayon-cotton grosgrain ribbon in various colours and widths. It's the real stuff, of the sort that our well-known custom hatter use.

Also an original 1930s Montecristi Optimo 26x25 knots (650 wpsi) by Campbell Quality Hat Works in excellent condition, size 7 1/8, for €145.-

I hear Borsalinos tend to run small in size. I wear a 7 1/8 in both vintage Cavanaghs and Stetsons. Are your hats going to be too tight? Could you include measurements front to back & side to side to give me a better idea of fit?

Great hats and at more than fair prices. I wish they were my size.

I miss seeing you posting in the hat forum. I really appreciate all you contributed in the past as I regularly re-read old posts.

Thank you, deadly. Haven't bought another hat in years, hence the absence over at the hats section.

@Mcox47 these are a true size 7 1/8. I would say the no-name Borsalino and the Film are a tiny tad bit wider, the Etrusgu is a straight 7 1/8. I hesitate to give specs of back to front and side to side because these measurements are difficult to replicate and depending on how soft the sweatband is, they can be misleading.


Here's the Montecristi:
The sweatband is original and well-preserved. There is a slight gap at the back where the sweatband is sewn together, and those stitches are a repair that I did about 7 years ago. The sewing has kept well since then.
The hat has been stored safely in a heated living room all these years and has no odours, other than traces of the pleasant smell of a Montecristi hat.
