Ja, duh, what else could it be but "nero". Thanks alanfgag. I more or less thought the same, but was hoping for a pre-war score.
Beautiful, AlanWe've seen it - not often - as a dressy addition to hats sold for formal wear. Here the treatment is used on a western hat sold from a store in Cheyenne, WY during the first decade of the 20th century. Dressy, but not intended for a tuxedo, I think.
Nice job.the treatment done on my 20s Stetson

that's realy different, very nice.Second contribution for the "weird" Borsalino sweatband
It is satin mounted on a flexible base
Not grosgrain or other material like faux leather and so on
This is the exterior of the hat with a so appeal interior
I agree with the age of the Borsalino bought in Italy. Nero!

Alanfgag, I like the look of that hat. May I see the whole of it?We've seen it - not often - as a dressy addition to hats sold for formal wear.

Daniele, what's your opinion of the underside of the brim on the Borsalino I posted. How often is this seen on Borsalinos from around that era?Second contribution for the "weird" Borsalino sweatband

As I said it is rare and the two examples I have posted are the only I came accross in my life.

Steve, Thank you for taking the time and effort. As Alan said it's 1950s or later.Well, I decided to unpick some of the liner. Not much to see, though. A serial number and some letters I can't make out. "Nano" perhaps.
Does the serial number reveal anything to you guys?

Thank you so much. A great hat. Quite different to European style hats.
Thanks again for the heads up, Bob. I finally figured it out. Much easier posting photos via Tapatalk on my phone [emoji5]
