I snagged this on Saturday

[RedPop4]

What do ya'll think? I'm excited. The size 7 is small, however I'll be seeing Spiridon in a couple of weeks and he'll help me stretch it a bit.

That's a good-looking lid! Nice color, too.

Very handsome hat, and, the price is right too. The colors are very similar to the Stetson I just bought, so, of course, great job on the colors. I wish I could spouut off a bunch of fancy details about the band and brim and crown and such, but, i'm still new to this, so, I hope "nice hat" works.

Snagged a keeper

Looks like a good catch!

 

[RedPop4]

I hope it is. Never know until it gets here. But I've seen you all mention Borsalino in reverent tones, and I see the prices on them new, so I had to jump on it when the price didn't move for a solid week.

It'll be my first gray. I have a black Kensington by Stetson that I've had for 20 years, and three browns Spiridon gave me, and the Indy I bought at Disney MGM Studios last week. I'm tired of wearing just brown based clothes.

Great hat! Very stylin' from the pictures it looks like it's in excellent condition too.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

Excellent hat. Very Brat Pack, Enjoy it.

 

[RedPop4]

Got it yesterday.
This hat is in near perfect condition. The dents need a touch of work, but nothing major. It's wearable, and beautiful. The felt is so soft it almost feels like velvet.

I'll take some pics and maybe post them when I get the opportunity.
I hate to be an idiot, but, I think I did really well, for my first eBay, and my first Borsalino.

Its a classic

The liner tells you its vintage, 60s or early 70s at the latest. Borsos were still great hats then.

 

[RedPop4]

Finally took some photos of my lovely.

 

[stylin]

Nice hat sir! A nice lid indeed...but...are you sure you're with it? [huh]

According to the pic of you wearing it, you don't look very happy (?)

Must be the sunlight glare in your eyes.

 

[RedPop4]

Oh yes, I'm happy with it. Very happy with it.
I was looking into the sun, and just relaxing whilst my son took the photo. Hoping he didn't drop the camera or anything like that. :lol
