The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[Bob Roberts]

Thanks guys! Yeah, i won't wear that hat on rainy days. I heard that sunlight isn't that good either; but i can wear it without any problems on hot summer days, I guess? That's just an advice for the storage? How often should the hat be sprayed with some water?

Mist daily and fertilize monthly. Prune in the Spring before buds appear.

Thanks. But what exactly do you mean by fertilizing the hat?

Don't spray it with water. Simply leave it in the bathroom when/if you shower once in a while. That will give it all the moisture it needs.

And if sun is bad for it, you should you only wear it indoors, right? BULLoney! Where do you think these hats are INTENDED to be worn? In the SUN.

Now, you are informed, ready, and set to go forth, and wear your Paja proudly, Pal!!

Oh! ONE MORE important thing... keep it away from goats, camels and other ruminants...

One of these under the sweat band monthly. The sweat activates the fertilizer and the crown grows higher and the brim wider.

Aren't they driven straight in while wearing the hat?

That would help keep the hat on, on windy days, AND improves thinning hair, too, right?!

You are a miracle worker, Bob!!

@DVNO Please don't listen to Bob about fertilizing the hat. He's joking. Quite the trickster, that one.

Beautiful paja toquilla straw from Borsalino! Wear it in the sun, proudly. Too much water and it will start to lose it's shape, so it's not a rainy day hat.

I bought it as a hat for my living room.

Wlcm. Doesn't work on human beings. Just hats and plants.

When the hat grows and I'm wearing it, it's like I have a huge head. So basically everyone thinks that I'm that tall.

A green Panizza and a blue Borsalino. Nice score Karl. Good to see Daniele has expanded the Italian connection. You know you're hooked of course: soon the hats will be streaming in from all sides.

Aaah, but does Dublin actually have a summer? (Hope so actually; I'll be over there in a few weeks time).

 

[KarlCrow]

it arrived for two days last week, and the odd hour between showers since. You may be lucky, you may not. You'll probably see all shades of weather in a given day. Why are you travelling here, business or pleasure?

 

[steur]

Pleasure. My wife has relatives living in Dublin and we'll be over for a wedding.
