The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

Here is a shot of some of my Borsas together.....I am missing a couple few that I am unsure what box they are in...:oops:

These range from the late 40's to around 2003 for the newest. Of the two Lt grey Alessandra's, one is a 7 1/4 from the very late 50's to the early 60's according to the label experts here.....so will be moving on in a trade (hopefully) or perhaps sold outright (maybe). Several I have not shared before.

Two of the oldest are both marked in the rounded punti size tag (6 1/2) only, apparently for the European market.

For kicks I threw in a 50's Meyser that photo-bombed the group....it is one of my all time favorite hats (can YOU tell which one it is????).

I really like my Bosalino's and find my "Qualita Superior" to be among the thinnest and lightest felt I have. Though they do not seam in any way to be consistent with their felt designations.....

When I find the others I will try at another "Group Shot" and also include the "coffin box" I have....

This thin ribbon Borsalino is one of the lightest weight hats I’ve ever handled. The felt is incredible. The open crown is approximately 5 5/8” and the brim is a nice 2 1/2” finished with narrow binding. The only thing wrong with this hat is the 7 1/8 size.

Beautiful Borsalino, Brent. I can see how this model would have an appeal in the American market.
