The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

Very nice Gorasgu Vic, love heathers. More evidence supporting my contention of a bunch-o-Gorasgu's lately.

Manfred, magnificent Echter and way to bring it back to life. Stunning results!

carouselvic, Josh, Robert, Steve, Mike, Perry and O-Guy, thank you so much Gentlemen for the kind words and comments!
I am very happy with that result and he fits perfekt! A steal for 2,50 EUR.
Steve, yes you are right with the 30s, I know why I asked you. haha
Josh, sorry no flange number, only the size Number 57. It's a German hat flange, allside's relatively flat.
Thank you for your to kind words, it means a lot for me, because, you are the expert for restoration and design.

Ale, wonderful Misto, congrats to that beauty!

 

[mikespens]

Ale, beautiful Misto and enjoyed your website too. You are a talented being.

Manfred, that is a fine flange!

 

[Aureliano]

You're very kind, Mike. Thanks.

Fine Misto Ale! Now you don't need any more Gray Hats?

 

[Aureliano]

Fine Misto Ale! Now you don't need any more Gray Hats?

Thanks, Robert. Maybe a grayer Cavanagh than the one I own. A trade, though.

 

[Chepstow]

Mike, thanks. Is my one and all!

If you are willing to spend that much money go for a custom built beaver felt! (IMHO)

Welcome to the lounge, Lucky. That is a beautiful Borso. Guessing its of the 50's vintage rather than 30's. I've seen that particular hat for some time on Ebay and the seller is asking substantially more than he/she is likely to get given the small size. 6 7/8 and 7's tend not to bring as much at auction. On the other hand, something is only worth what one is willing to pay for it and we've seen bidding wars cause the smaller sizes to bring hefty sums on occasion. Good luck

 

[luckyluciano]

Thanks of the help. Should i go wit the borsalino como? How is it and i see it on amazon for around 200

A modern Borso won't compare to a vintage one in quality.

Welcome to the Lounge.
If somebody is willing to pay $350 then it is worth that to that person at least.
What it is worth to you is up to you & nobody else.
They don't make hats like that anymore & is no contest in comparing to a modern one.
Having a modern (1980s) Borso & vintage ones (1950s), I say the vintage are worth a $150 more to me...

 

[luckyluciano]

okay thank you guys ill go with the vintage hat then.
