Recent purchase, Borsalino San Remo. Seller said it was 1960's... But it feels and looks waaay to new.
What a cool find, Rick. It does indeed look in pristine condition. Most likely NOS. 1960's is probably right. It's not Antica Casa Borsalino, but the "cheaky" cousin G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro. Just as good btw. This must be among one of the last of G.B. productions if my memory serves me right. I can't remember seeing one so "modern". I have a G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro bowler from the 1920's courtesy of Daniele. Hopefully, he will be able to shed some light on your wonderful purchase.

Borsalino resurrected the G B Borsalino name in the 70’s if my memory serves me correctly
Cool hat, Rick and a nice find. I think "big" Borsalino resurrected the GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro name earlier than that. I would have to look into it, but the various labels they come with, suggest it was as early as the early fifties and they were around until the mid to late seventies at least. The label with the rounded edges with the colour name was used between the mid sixties until the mid-seventies. So that's the timeframe for your hat.The hat liner logo does indeed look more 70s than 60s now I think about it.

Here's an early one (same as the Borsalino ones that were used until the early fifties):
And a later one (same as yours):
