The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[Blare]

The sweat is starting to crack on this 50s Allesandria. Not sure what can be done. I love the way this light weight felt just finds it's own crease with just a bit of prodding.

Modern Borsalino “Beaver” in 7 1/8 US. Solid black with a 2 1/2” raw edge brim and a tapered open crown height of approximately 5 1/4 inches. The felt is dense and malleable and the hat come with a nice original/matching box. A previous owner has glued two Statue of Liberty medals to both ends of the bow.

Can we see the box, Brent?

Interesting modern retro.

Yeah, and they sell new for an eye watering price. I don’t see it being of interest to many here on TFL, but I’m sure I can sell it on eBay.

Sold as a US size 7 English made bowler.

I have a few black homburgs but this is one of my best.

Knowledge is power.

Congrats on a stellar ‘Burg Brent!

Here is the "little" brother of Brent's hat:
Borsalino Homburg for the German market
Although again a black Homburg, but beautiful felt.
Size 6 punti, height open crown 14 cm, width brim 6 cm
I just couldn't pass by that one...

Like I said in the other thread: superb hat. We'll add it to the line-up under the name "erodisan", a model we've not seen before.

Very satisfying, Matt to find such a fine hat in such a wonderful condition.

Borsalino Ludoita Qualita Extra Superiore Crema. Just arrived. Filthiest hat I have ever purchased. Steam and brush did nothing

Well that makes three or four I’ve seen here... yours may be older than mine based on that tag. Hopefully you can clean it up somehow.

This is about as clean as it is going to get. Not perfect, but definitely an improvement.

Good job!

Quite some Borsalinos appeared in my local market lately. Most in my size range, but not all. Here is one.

Borsalino Fedora, size 59 in Morello color, imported for the Norwegian market.

 

[PanosChris]

Next, a lobbia. Size 57, color Bario

 

[PanosChris]

Moving on, a Misto (Grisfpo maybe?). Marked 58 but fits more like a 56.5...Pity
Liner unfortunately is lost.

 

[PanosChris]

Next, another imported grey lobbia. Unfortunately, unknown model and color since there is no label Also, no logo printing on the sweatband. I guess it could have been restored locally at some time point since the selling store printing on liner and sweatband don't match.
