Wow. Now that's a hat. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Noooo. I didn't perform badly on the MTV Video Awards or break-up with my lame, rapper boyfriend!

I'm glad to hear that you and your rapper boyfriend are still getting along. ;)

Jeff, That's a great buy! Congratulations! Looks like I'll have to seriously start looking for a buyer for the Borso SanRemo. ;)

I didn't really think it would happen! I put in my Best Offer a couple of days ago and, well, was waiting for a "No". Guess what...
Honey, where's the GOOD credit card?

I hope "Honey" recovers from that lameness in short order. :eek: :D

Sorry about the San Remo. Again, I didn't really think I'd win - hence the "Oops."

As for the "lameness", well, it's much better than my last...investment.

Heck, given a choice, I'd opt for the Borso you won. They still make the San Remo after all. Go Vintage! :eusa_clap :D

The Bulgarian Borsalino strikes again! That looks to be a cool lid, and I'm definitely keeping an eye on that seller's stuff.

Well, I have been for a while, anyway. I got a brown Borsalino Homburg from them not so long ago, one one of those "best offer" deals. Had I known, I'd have offered even less!

What a great hat for your collection. Now if it was just bigger!!!! Really nice hat! notice my avatar pic? I am wearing that trimed down Akubra I got from you. It has sort of become my everyday hat.

I was wondering if that was the Fed? Looks great!

And, regarding the Borso, the 6 1/2 size is equivelent to an U.S. 7 1/2 which, with a little stretching, should fit my noggin!

Thanks everybody! I did some research, here on the Lounge of course, and found that it's definitely pre WWII. Gotta' love that. Finally, an antique hat!
