The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

[jimmy the lid]

This Borso is just back from its cleaning at Optimo. It is an off-white color -- perhaps butter-creme is the best description. This one pre-dates the factory move, but perhaps some Borsalino experts can help with the dating -- I'm thinking late 60's-early 70's? Beautiful lightweight felt in a neat color for a fedora.

Cheers,
JtL

Stunning, Jim. I am absolutely amazed how you come up with these beauties. And then you have the most incredible talent for bashing them to perfection and turning them into what they are really meant to be. Amazing, sir.

 

[Dinerman]

looks like the sweat and liner they used in the '50s, to me.

 

[ideaguy]

that is one SWEET hat! and I envy your prestidigitation: now it's open crown-
presto! the nicest bash I ever did see... and the hat's my size.:eusa_clap

 

[handlebar bart]

Nice borso Jimmy. I like the coloring of that one and the bash..........I wish I could do it so well:eusa_clap

Gentlemen, what's the word on the Grand-Prix Paris? Is this even a model? That's what one on the 'bay is listed as, and I couldn't find anything out about the model.

Also, it's in a Rogers Peet box. I don't know if that means anything.

 

[John in Covina]

(I don't know about the Grand Prix Paris as a model, but I was thinking that it may be an accolade from a competition. Gold medal winner?)

 

[tortswon]

Impressive

Jimmy, that hat is an absolute beauty. It reminds me of why I want one for myself. Best, Sam

 

[carter]

I finally got to dig out the Borsalino Homburg and don it for a cold day.
