The liner photo is poor so I cannot make out the logo. It looks 1960s or later to me and not a Borsalino.

Ok when I get it I will post better pics. Now I am just hoping it is fur felt

Sorry Historyteach, I am unable to read, the liner print. But it looks like a no name Brand or a retailer shop brand. I am 100% agree with Steve that is from the 60s or later and it's not a Borsalino!

I asked for a refund because of a language barrier. I said that I thought it was a Borsalino hat made in Italy. Now I find out that people in Europe call fedoras Borsalinos. Hopefully they will be nice and refund

HT, Borsalino means for a lot of sellers, the style of that hat! They have heard, that Borsalino is kult, and every one know what it is!
The best is, if the description is not clear, you must ask before bidding!

Thank you very much. I just got an email that cancelled the order and I explained to them the translation problems. Told him in America a Borsalino refers to the hat maker. Man was nice and had no problems and understood. So everyone is happy.

Great to hear, HT. It's better!
