Looking to buy a Optimo or Borsalino Fedora.

[tridentine]

I am fairly new to vintage or quality fedoras.
I own a 1939 grey Borsalino and a new Borsalino Continental Homburg, which are both beautiful hats and I wear them to Mass,
but I would like an everyday Borsalino or Optimo fedora size 7.5 to wear during the week.
Does anyone know where I can buy a faily inexpensive one with a 2 inch plus brim and 5 inch plus crown?
Thank you.

EBay.

Or the classifieds here. Good luck trying to find an inexpensive Optimo though. BTW, welcome to the Lounge tridentine and any hat can be an everyday hat.

This might be what you are looking for. The brim is a little big but we can trim that no problem. The crown is 5" open crown. The hat comes open crown.

I have a Borsalino 5 1/4 inch open crown soft felt with a 2 7/8 brim, size 7 1/2. Condition is excellent all around and the color is gray. If interested let me know and will try and post pic. You can't pm me yet with only 4 post.

Sorry disregard last post. Wife says that I am going to keep the hat.

I should have added I am looking for a Vintage hat.
Sorry.

You'll probably have better luck posting a WTB post in the classified section.

When I saw optimo hats I think that my BORSALINO will be my hat for every day and I will preserve the optimo.
