Ivory Alessandria
This is a recently arrived Borsalino Alessandria. The inside label lists the color as "Avorio", or "ivory." As advertised, this lid is in absolutely mint condition. The felt is super soft -- it's a pleasure just to run my hands over it. There is a price tag on this one that lists the original price as $20. Open crown is approximately 5 1/2", and brim width is just a tad under 2 3/4". The gold on the liner sticker and in the Borsalino logo on the sweat shimmers with green, red and gold in natural light -- it is hard to re-create with the camera, but it does show up a bit in these photos. Very cool. This is just a beautiful lid.
Cheers,
JtL
