Borsalino Qualita Superiore

E25AEBA2-6D69-4FA9-AC53-1B297ACDAE1F.jpeg


This Borsalino Qualita Superiore made for Portuguese market is the thinnest lightest weight Unlined felt hat I have ever handled. Super soft thin moldable felt with a 2 in brim and a mid ribbon.

As the hat was originally sold at Teo The English Outfitters in Gibraltar I suspected the 6 3/4 sizing on the tag may well be UK sizing. It does appear by fit that is the case.

I was expecting from the photos a project hat that was going to need a deep cleaning as it appeared to be covered in some type of fungus. However I was able to remove most of it with a very heavy brushing.

It is a super comfortable and very sleek and stylish hat that is a pleasure to wear.

This unnamed Resistol OR clone arrived today. It’s a nice hat in a great dawn color. Aside from the normal layer of topsoil, it’s in good condition...except the sweatband is separating. Something the seller didn’t mention. :(

Too bad about the separation.. but nice hat for sure

The size is a 59 cm, 7 3/8 US but is a little tight, so it is a 58 and half

The felt is very soft, but not so tender like the others of the same lot. It keeps its shape well.

Felt color is a number as it is used in modern Borsalino production. The color is rust and the dark copper ribbon gives a special touch to this Borsalino

These are the measures of this Italian classic: raw brims at 6.5 centimeters, the open crown is 14 centimeters and the copper ribbon is 4.5 centimeters.
