This Borsalino has been listed on ebay with seemingly little interest. Is the asking price too high for this example? How old a hat is it? Just asking because it seems like a nice hat!

Hey guys can any one identify this color for me . This is a 40s vintage Borsalino xx quality felt .
I am trying to find a replacement or order a custom if I can come close to this color.

Permission to join the "Borsalino Brotherhood." I purchased a beautiful 50's Model today from Bond in the classified section. It's a taupe Open Road style in the rare 7 1/2 size! Took over a year but I did not settle for one I was not completely happy with.

Congratulations, Terry! I was sorely tempted m'self. Did you get the extra ribbon also?

No, I really like the original look and I would never have used it. I have a nice JC Penney Marathon that I got from Tom on here with a bigger ribbon when I get the urge for that look.

I posted a couple of Bond's pictures of the hat so you guys could see it. I'll post a couple of different pictures when I receive it. I think it will the perfect "cigar" hat!

Thanks - wearing a 7 or 71/8 does make it easier :D

I have a couple of thin ribbon Borsalinos and they are great hats to wear. I'm sure you are going to love yours.

So very true, Borsalinos are very nice lookers!
