Some fantastic creases shown... is there a date on that, Robert?

Note Velours are more expensive than Beaver.
I'd like to second that.
Here's the modern Borso I got from Mike today (Thanks for the speedy shipping!). Finally, a brown hat I'll keep. Something about its "basicness" really appeals to me. 'Til death do us part.

Is the modern "The Beaver" at Bencraft made better than the other current fur felts or is it just more expensive because its Beaver?
Since its implied that it is the top of the line, I'm wondering if there is more to it than just a special box. Kinda like an S Class vs an E Class so to speak.
I have recently purchased two Borsalinos from Bencraft, an Alessandria and a Film, and can attest to the high quality of their modern productions. Of course they can't really be compared to the vintage Borsos, but, nevertheless they are very well-made modern production hats. The ones that are made specifically for Bencraft are of very high quality and I would trust that the "the Beaver" would be as well. Of course I have never handled one.

It's 100% Beaver. I've seen it and handled it at Bencraft. The finish of that hat is amazing. Wish Borsalino made all their hats like it.
Did you happen to see both Black and Dark Grey Beavers? I think I would want the Dark Grey as I may wear it more.
How about the Diamante? I'm not sure about the long hair silk finish though.
I saw the Gray as I'm a bit obsessed with hats in this color. I also handled a brown one when I visited the factory in Alessandria. Very nice hats. Haven't seen the Diamante, no.
The second try.
Today I wrote Borsalino a second Email. The first one was not answered.
I want to know how is the paper label to read. I think the second mail will not be answered.
That is not customer friendly, I think.
