The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[150719541]

I received my first Borsalino today:

It's highly crushable and came with the original compact travel case. Love the quality.

Here I am wearing it:

So then, may I enter this noble brotherhood?

Nice like whole Borsas, looks fine on you, Who did you sell ?

Packin' Heat, welcome to the club, don't mind the dog, he only bites if you are not wearing a Borsalino.

Who in the Brotherhood can answer a question regarding era; and a question regarding what may be origonal work; I would need to shoot them a picture of an area up front where the reed meets the felt. Thanks.

Dood, this is a great shot.....all it needs is a bit of filtering to really make it pop vintage.

I bought this amazing Borsalino homburg in Venice (I got back to the States earlier today) in a small very fancy vintage store I stumble upon by accident. I wanted to share some pictures. The hat is a tad too big for me (I'm a 71/8 this is a 71/4). I will try some felt padding to see if it feels better. If not I will most likely post it in the classifieds. It's pristine!

It looks brand new. Congratulations on your score while in Italy.

It is a very nice hat. If its too big ,bring into the store in Williamsburg next time you you are in Brooklyn. I'll make it smaller for you.

Packin' Heat, welcome to the club, don't mind the dog, he only bites if you are not wearing a Borsalino.

Even dogs can have particular taste, I guess.

"Sure, doll. I got five bucks, we're gonna paint the town."
