Can't say, really. The auction was locked down by the seller and after that the bidding price is no longer visible. It cannot have been very high though because the seller never mentioned the well known borsalino name. I have never seen a hat go for more than a 100 euros on that site. It;s not all bad though. Seller had another hat for sale (a beater Tiroler hat) but that came with the same borsalino hat box. Got that one for 18 euro!

I almost bought that one about 5 or 6 times since it popped up last night. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I'd probably not wear a white hat. Glad it went to a Lounger!

Your luck is amazing. I am lucky to find a baseball cap that does not advertise beer or a tavern to drink it in.

Out antiquing yesterday. Saw this hat and knew it looked like quality, but the brim had obviously been slashed to under 2". My stomach turned when I looked inside and saw it was a pre-Stetson Mallory XV.
