The hat I was seconds too late for. In the time it took to complete the checkout someone else got it. I hope it shows up here on the head of one of you good folks.
Ooooh, that does look nice. I kind of expected it to be a MGL (Marque Grand Luxe), which these Borsalino velours usually are.The hat I was seconds too late for. In the time it took to complete the checkout someone else got it. I hope it shows up here on the head of one of you good folks.

Nice looking hat and "lupo" is a good colour. This label was used pretty much all through the sixties.Just got my first Borsalino off of the ebays. I THINK I got a good price, as I haven't actually seen a San Remo for sale there before (which, truth be told, doesn't mean much since the vintage hat addiction only kicked in a few weeks ago now)... But, for $60 shipped, it came in very nice condition (even had the wind trolley bunched up in the bow, now wrapped properly). From what I can tell from the tag/etc, it might be early '60s?? (again, not much I can find about it, though I've seen mention that it was a popular hat in the States...). All in all, I'm really impressed by it. (My wife used the term 'luxurious' when she felt it...)...
Much different than my other hats I've gotten so far!

For me: What does Avgvsta mean? Style?I’m not a fan of the styles of the Avgvsta hats but the felt is great. Diamanté Twenty Five with 5 1/2” open crown and 2” wide brim with an underwelt. The felt is a short nap velour with a great hand.

Offcourse, Avgvsta sounded strange to me at first either!Augusta.
Yes, unpronounceable words do tend to sound strange.Offcourse, Avgvsta sounded strange to me at first either!
Augusta.

Well, any word which has no vowels in contemporary languages, is generally unpronounceable.I’m not sure how it’s pronounced, but I know how it’s spelled:
Pretty much summed it up right there, Brent!I’m not a fan of the styles of the Avgvsta hats but the felt is great. Diamanté Twenty Five with 5 1/2” open crown and 2” wide brim with an underwelt. The felt is a short nap velour with a great hand.

It's just augusta as in Augusta Georgia, Brent. As has been mentioned, it's a Latin spelling.

I think Max @drmaxtejeda would look very cool in that one out on the links.So it’s a golf hat?
That's a cool find. Nice proportions and it even has a bit of a reverse taper going on. Even the liner is still stitched in and that in 1977.Borsalino Peluche. 6” open crown and 2 3/4” brim finished with an underwelt. The felt is wonderfully soft and easily dry creased; however, it is so easy to re-shape I might steam in a shape to get it to hold.
