It is a very nice find, Mike. The daylight pictures bring out the colour better. Judging by the ring around the brim it's been sitting upside down in a box for quite a while. Maybe someone can chime in about the possible meaning of the "xxx" designation underneath the borsalino logo. It reminded me of the "nutria" lettering which is done on some borsalino hats in the same way.Hi Chaps, here's, a Borso i acquired last week, all the way from Mexico City made for the Mexican market. I had a wee conference with Stefan about this one and conclude it might be late 30s or early 40s, the latter is more likely i think.
As you can see by the size tag it's a 57, unfortunately the dame thing has shrunk bummer!!!.
So it's more like a 55 now. If anyone in interested in it let me no, other wise will go to ebay.
Cheers
Mike
