Exellent! What a way to start off posting. Beautiful Borsalino, is that a dark navy blue?

Thank you! And yes, it is. I really love the colour and it's such a nice feeling wearing this hat. I sometimes wear it at home bc I enjoy it so much, haha!

I love dark navy, too.

I can see it's already too late for you. You're addicted and we are a bunch of enablers. You might as well throw your wallet away at this point.

I was like 'ok, I'll buy one Borsalino. It's so expensive but I have to own one.' Now i own this hat for one and a half week and I'm already checking out other Borsalinos, colours and stuff...

Which model is that?

Oh my... you are in a bad way, brother. That's how it started for me. I ordered a Penman custom for my very first hat... but that was going to be a 5 month wait. I couldn't stand it, so I bought one of John's Everyman hats, a factory produced hat to his specifications, and had him crease it like the Indy 4 movie hat, the Crystal Skull.... I just picked up my custom from John 2 weeks ago... in that time I've purchased another 25 hats for me, 4 for MrsFed and 7 for my daughter....

The lament of the hat compulsion. All of us have it, just let the dark side of the force flow through you...until a Silverbelly catches your eye!

It's the Alessandria.

that does not look like any Alessandria that I have ever seen....

It's written inside the hat. The shop where i bought it described it as a "classic fedora". I can post a picture of the inside tomorrow if this helps?!

 

[carouselvic]

Borsalino hats all say Alessandria because it's the city where they are made.....the Alessandria model is a thin ribbon hat with a bound edge....

Sorry, I did not know that. I thought the model is written inside since Alessandria is a model!? Then again I don't really know. It is this one:

Maybe this helps. It's in german, sorry. But I'm curious now... What a shame that I don't even know the hat I'm wearing.

 

[DVNO]

Will appreciate if you or anyone else could help me out. Sorry again - I'm a newbie.

 

[FedOregon]

Looks like the 411 (Blue). I don't care what you call it, that is one classy hat!

 

[carouselvic]

it's not a problem, you have a very nice hat no matter what the model name
