In the meantime I purchased a first edition of this book. It's bound in leather and has original photo prints.

I have a CD in Taupe Fawn (fantastic lid, but not the mid-brown color I desperately seek), and a Borsalino Como in mid-brown. Both are GREAT lids. Problem is, I prefer wide brim hats, so the Como doesn't see much action. I will say that the Akubra is classy yet bulletproof, while the Como just screams formal wear to me. I'm hoping an Alessandria will be the best of both worlds.
I don't know if anyone replied , but go to australiangear.com and at the very end of the Akubra hats the RM Williams is it , Depp's photo , everything. I'll double check to be sure that's the site .

I'm looking (SERIOUSLY) at a Modern Borsalino Alessandria (TAR), and know there are variations in colors (even the same color , due to batches) , but would any in the Brotherhood post some pictures of Taupe , Brown , Dark Brown , Dark Grey , and/or Steel Grey that I could see ? Black is out , and Bencraft is out of Light Grey in my size . I would really appreciate it . Thanks in advance for the help before I pull the trigger . And I guess I should say , Tell me what I'm seeing . Thanks again .

Hello,

New to the forum, I wanted to share this great Teresio Borsalino medal I received from the old country. The gentleman I purchased it from was located about an hour away from Alessandria. From what I gather Teresio became a senator 1924-1925. I believe this medal dated 1925 is acknowledging Teresio's contribution to to the town. I wonder how many were made? It's quite heavy.
