There were a few borsalinos in the Holland-Italy hat-exchange. Thanks go out to Daniele. This is the first one. Posted this in other threads as well (new hats and pre 40 dress hats). More to come (promise).
Borsalino in the colour Misto lapis, size 56. Grey colour with blue tones. It's a heather felt of incredible quality. Curled brim at 5cm and crown at 11 cm in front. Not a homburg and not a lords hat either, but a dress hat with curled brim. It actually works as a fedora as well but it does not like its brim snapped down. I'm thinking late 1930's. Exceptional hat.

Wow, what a hat, Steffan. I can feel the quality of it through the photos. Congrats.

The second one from the hat-exchange. Borsalino Angora Gorascu in the colour Misto Grigio (hard to tell from the label). Size 7 1/4 or 58. Brim at 7 cm and crown 11cm at the pinch. Felted edge (feltrato for the Italian hats) and a longhair heather finish that is to die for. Made for the American market. Somewhere along the road it has lost its original liner though. My guess is 1930's (I don't think they did felted edges anymore after the war). This was an expensive hat: there's a price tag of $ 20 on it. Thanks go to Daniele for finding this one.
