Borsalino Qualita Superiore

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.

It happens, and if the seller isn’t a hat person I can see how it might be overlooked. Now to decide if I should return it for a refund or sell/trade it as is.

Third arrival in the semi-restriction period and it is a Borsalino modern production

Borsalino Qualità Superiore sold in Venezia. In the lot arrived, it seems the only with a very few wear

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.

A classic Borsalino in proportions nd with a splendid combo of colors

The size is a 60 cm, 7 1/2 US

As its brother the felt is very soft and malleable

Felt color and ribbon matching and they are two slightly different shades of brown-greenish variations
The hat is new and never worn.

These are the measures of this Italian classic: raw brims at 7.5 centimeters, the open crown is 15 centimeters and the copper ribbon is 4.5 centimeters.

A classic Borsalino in massive proportions with a wonderful tone on tone combinations of colors

Those are very cool finds, Brent. I'm not a western guy, but that longhair Dobbs West looks great.

Thanks, Stefan. One of these days I’m going to ship you a full-on cowboy hat...I think you could pull it off easily.

Ciao Brent,
I join in Stefan's compliment!
The hat is very beautiful and the cowboy will have to be very elegant to wear it

Considering how often I get the "where's your horse?" comment, you'd think I was already wearing westerns!

Then I say you may as well! And I agree with Brent in regard to your innate ability to pull off the look.
