The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[mayserwegener]

More on topic again (the discussion above would fit the Homburg nation thread better). Here's a borsalino I haven't posted before. New old stock Borsalino Azoico (blue-grey). Size 56 with an overwelt brim at 5,5cm and crown at 10,5 cm at the pinch. Lovely longhair finish. The hat dates from the sixties I think.

Steve, thanks. I have another one from the same seller and the same stock.

Borsalino homburg in grey (argento). Size 56, bound brim 5cm and crown 10cm at the pinch. New old stock from the same seller as the previous one. This one is from the sixties as well, I think. Pictures are with open crown, without side dents and with dents to give an overall impression.

Stefan, this hat is so wonderful it brings tears to my eyes. It is a holy grail for me now, in a generous 58 though.

Manfred, Mike, thanks. Credits really should go to Daniele, who pointed out this seller to me. As is usually the case however there wasn't that much left. I have the good fortune to be a size 56 (for Borsalino i prefer 57 however) so there still were some in my size. Had to stretch these a little though, to get them to fit. The stickers on the sweatband were a nightmare to get rid of.

Relaxing with my Borsalino Como after school. I gave my hat a cleaning; steam, ribbon cleanse, and new bash. I've always had challenges with the crown height on this fedora, but I've grown to appreciate it after what's going on seven years. BTW it's super-hot in my neck of the woods—indoors and AC seems to do the trick.

I think it's a good thing for all Borsalino lovers to see a new hat of the Autums-Winter 2017-18 collection

It is for sale at a hats store in Germany

I do not have any other information

Good vision and comments

I wish they didn't put the name on the bow, but a nice hat anyway. Are they expensive in Italy/Germany as they are here in the US? Are they worth the money?

Mike, I have no information on the new models for the new season, only the pictures I posted
They are expensive here, as in the USA, or more.
The models sell here, Europe, are completely different from the US market
They will worth the money? It is a personal evaluation you make for the appeal of the hat, the felt, the finishing
This one has a very interesting shape with "ancient" taste and some not so pleasant details.
With Borsalino modern hats you can have big surprise in high and low.....quality

Kind of like a modern Stetson. Oh well, it is a sign of the times I guess.

the name in the knot is a 100% deal breaker for me

 

[M Hatman]

YES!!!!!
That and the fact that the "wash" look of the ribbon makes it look very crinkled!!!!!! It may just be the way it photographs but it looks like it came from the bottom of a hat stack.....a VERY tall one too!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too, and those funky pins with Dobbs, Stetson etc. They just scream "I'm not a vintage hat, my quality is questionable!"

it is a deal breaker for me on any hat ... thank goodness the Alessandria ribbon is just too narrow to advertise all over

I've never in my life liked to advertise on anything I was wearing ... always hated that ... T shirts that say Nike ... or sweatshirts that say Sean John or Old Navy .... hate that

the pins are easily removable which is kind of a good thing ... but I understand what you mean

that being said ... I'm not sure I've ever bought a modern hat to fool anyone that it is vintage

 

[Daniele Tanto]

I think you are talking about another topic.
This is a new hat and we are talking about this.
Vintage or old hats are another completely different thing, so to say

I don't know......Moon and I WERE talking about the new hat......neither of us like the advertisement on the bow.......and I DO NOT like the "wash" color of the ribbon.....looks crinkled and wrinkled.....

I like the way that one looks! Although, I'd change out the ribbon...
