A label I recognize. Don’t understand anything, but more familiar.
The felt is very thin and light, but holds shapes well. Nice hat! Borsalinos of this vintage….excellent. View attachment 471319 View attachment 471322 View attachment 471320 .

Nice looking Gorasgu, Randall.

Looks like it was made for you.

Gorasgus are always nice to see. Fantastic hats.

7th hat, Superiore, 2 5/8 inch brim. Averia or Averla Erodispo.

Averla is a great colour. Erodispo is actually a model don't seen that often.

Very nice. Don't seen these overwelt brims too often on Borsalinos.

Some excellent Borsalino finds, Mike.

Beautiful hat, Randall. Gorasgus are as nice as they come.

ANother wonderful example of an American market Borsalino.

Gorgeous. I like those lightweights and the thin brim binding is lovely.

Plush or velour Borsalinos bought this year, not counting the 2 minks already shown. Don't know if any have been shown on the Lounge before, but wouldn't surprise me. Each will be shown separately, from left to right, then center front last.

Some more Borsalinos bought this year. Will show each below, left to right, then center front left and right.

An excellent row of Borsalinos in terms of quality and years of production (50s and 60s)
Very oriented in terms of shape and finishes to the US market, but this does not mean that they are a splendid collection.
Complimenti!
Mike in Rome...where in Rome?

Grail hat there—congrats!

Thanks, bro!
I have another Gorusgu that I may have posted on this thread. A sweet melusine with hand felted edge in a tan color.
These “American market” Borsas really appeal to us Americans for some reason!

Thanks! That's Rome, Georgia. Moved up here in 2016 from Cobb Co., GA, northwest suburbs of Atlanta. Was born in Atlanta way back when, and lived all over the area, plus working and living in other States over the years.
