Matt, Really fantastic! It's also great to have the date stamp and paper label match.

Thank you... I'm out visiting my Dad and was happy to reconnect with this hat. I had forgotten the early Zlateff provenance. It is a very small size 5, but my Dad wears it well. This was seven years ago, he is 92 now.

Alan, Yes your Dad wears it well!
Side note: By the way the hat has the separate size stamp.

Hi all. Don't wish to alarm anyone, but if you're in Paris, or nearby, and like Borsalino, proceed in an urgent drooling fashion towards the store called Episode. I'd estimate 98% of their hats are Borsalino at €35 each.
There's maybe 100 inside. 35 is too much for me, so I'm posting here Some from.the 1950s, some modern. Couldn't look at them all.
Usually they had various fur felts at €20 each. Now just Borsies.

I was in that very shop 4 weeks ago and I didn't find anything I wanted and there were only 2 Borsalino in the wrong size!!

The only thing I'm alarmed about is that I'm not in Paris right now. Episode is a great store. There are a few of these Episode shops in Amsterdam too. I've gotten quite a few hats there, but it's always a question of luck wether or not they have anything in your size or taste.

Episode is a must visit for me anytime I'm in Paris. I've done fairly well from them before, but at the old price of €20 a hat! I bought a Stetson in their Copenhagen store, a Barbisio and beautiful Roeckel in the Paris one above, plus some others. (Not all at once!)
Sorry to hear about the bad timing of this, Windsock I hope if you go again, they'll have some. One or two I picked up felt (no pun intended) beautiful.

Haven't posted this one before. Borsalino Ardilla in grey (gris fer) in a heather longhair finish. Size 59, overwelt brim at 5cm and crown 11cm at the pinch. Sold this one on because it was not my size. Lovely colour combination though. Sold by A. Orsi of Bologna.
