Post New Hats Here!

[Mr. Paladin]

Borsalino Traveler, made in Comombia, South america, 100% hair rabit, beautiful and deep blue navy color, (can not be well apreciated in picture), I change leather and put ribbon, the sweat band is genuine leather.
The incredible is the cost, in Mexico City: 890 mexican pesos (75 u.s) with this high quality.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

That Borsalino is a great color. Is the ribbon/bow a blue tone as well, or is it black?

[ScionPI2005]

I searched far and wide to find this hat. I finally gave up on finding a hat like this in the US and found a vendor in Italy. I found it here:
http://www.cappelleriamelegari.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=81&products_id=221

The hat is water repellant, no liner, and has a cloth sweatband. The best part though is the fact that the brim is 2 1/2 inch. I could not find a wide brim hat like this. So I had it flown in from Italy. It is a medium grey. Very lightweight. They have light greys coming in October.

That's a very nice Borsalino, DRB. That was a real good find!

That one looks good on you Frenchgentleman; what kind of hat is that?

Is this different from the Alessandria available from Bencraft? I ask, because they have a number of wide-brim Borsalino models - e.g. the Alessandria is available in six colors. But maybe yours is finished differently....

This hat is a bespoke made for me by French hatter Fernand Sebbah (alias DBM).

It's made of light grey very high quality fur felt, with a 1.57 inches (4cm) grosgrain ribbon, leather sweatband, and a "soie sauvage" lining (is "wild silk" the correct translation?) The brim is dimensional: front = 2.36 inches, sides = 1.97 inches

Wild silk is gathered from cocoons that silkworms produced in a natural uncontrolled environment. Congratulations! on your new bespoke hat!

Looks super! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Does he stitch in the liner (looks fantastic) or glue?

 

[frenchgentleman]

Thanks!

The liner seems to be stitched.

Blue Navy and Black

I performance this photo with back light, to can see the borsa blue navy color and black, here seems better, is an excellent tone

Hi Sir¡¡¡¡¡

That hat is a very rare find my friend. I have never seen a Borsalino Traveler just like it before. I like it very much. You have a very nice collection of hats.

Did the store you purchased this hat at have different colors? I enjoy seeing different colors and varieties of Borsalinos. Borsalino makes a large variety of styles and colors. Unfortunately, not all of them are offered for sale here in the US. If they are, I don't see them. I own many Borsalinos and all of them fit so very nice.

Congratulations on your excellent purchase!

It is brother´s blue navy borsalino, yes in the store where I bought hats, there are more models, is in Mexico City, but never more than 3 or 4.

 

[mayserwegener]

Thanks!

The liner seems to be stitched.

If you find time would it possible to take some pictures behind (pulled up) the sweatband? Interested in his contruction methods. Thanks!

Howdy all!

Just picked up a new fedora, was doing some research and this place popped up. Anyhow, lousy pic but beautiful Stetson Pinnacle. My old wool fedora just wasn't making it anymore.

carldelo, yes I see that Bencraft has a better selection of Borsalinos than many shops. I do not believe the hats they offer in six colors is the same. Theirs comes open crown, mine did not. Mine has a cloth headband, very lightweight, no liner, and stamped Water Repellant. I believe those that Bencraft is offering does not have those attributes. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'll never get enough of that one!

 

[DRB]

CRH, agreed. Once Art Fawcett offers this color, I just might go for it. I can just see me in it now. Nice!
