Second Borsalino with flaws or defects that need work to be worn
13yfgo2.jpg

Borsalino Qualità Extra Extra Superiore, color is "M. Volga", the ribbon is "Asfalto", sold in Milano.
The ribbon and bow are consumed. Do not ask me why because I have no answer

For proportions they are: brim at 5,5 cm. crown at 11 cm and the ribbon is 4 cm.

This is a true 6 1/2 and have the colors of a "Borsalino family" of felts that were all starting with M. plus the name of the color, very similar each others

We share with Stefan a love on the Borsalino mistery about making, brands and the Borsalino not "Borsalino branded"

This is a homburg in deep brown with the matching ribbon and brim trimmed in the same color

The measures are classic: 6 cm. the brim and 12 cm the crown.

The hat seems to be very old for its sweatband that is 5 cm .

It is possible that it was done immediately after the war.

Qualità Extra Superiore, it does not have the name of the store on the swetband and the paper label becomes a mystery because the name Borsalino is missing.

The words on the label in paper are extremely strange and I can not decipher the name of the color. It looks like a sample and comes together with others of very small size from Ghiffa the homeland of Panizza.

The hat is in very good shape, no moths or failure, only the sweatband is dry and at one point the basting has been released. The size is 5. The hat is very elegant for the continuous shades.

Sorry, but this Borsalino is just keep by Stefan for our next exchange

No, but I got this Dobbs Cross Country.
The felt is so light and thin! I can barely feel I have a hat on.
Now I know what all the fuss about Vintage is.
I still have to learn how to crease them, though.

A deeper diamond/teardrop crease, and a slightly tighter pinch in the front will make it look a ton more eye appealing. sweet hat

Perfect hat for Stefan, he does like his Borsalino Homburgs. Love the color and shape.

Just in. Custom VS Blue Smoke. 2 in. Sharks Gill. 2 3/8 under welt brim. 6 inch open crown. In a word: "Wow!" Wanted a lighter piece that didn't "scream" 'look at me.' With a darker skin tone, some lighter colors take the eyes away from the total 'me,' if you know what I mean. As I venture deeper into collecting, I am aware of certain colors and dimensions of hats that are more appealing...And not just to purchase for purchase sake. I am very pleased!!

Oh yeah! I was debating on commissioning a Blue Smoke and your photos just made the decision much easier. Limestone is also on the top of my list.
