Since my ex is coming in and some of my ex-in-laws from Italy will be there also for a grandson's wedding, I'm thinking of getting my first Borsalino to go with a double breasted suit and some cotton balls and going as the Godfather, I mean, grandfather. :D

Can't decide on what model, Classic, Como or Bellini. I'm leaning towards the Como but the Bellini is nice also. Either one in Taupe.

Give me an opinion that I can't refuse...…………. ;)

Today it could be done on any black hat and that would suffice, but a traditional Tuxedo hat is quite different. It's made of extremely thin felt with little shellac to stiffen it, a silk underbrim, and completely silk lined interior. There is no leather sweatband or reed to give shape to the hat. It was designed to be folded and stuffed into the the pocket of an overcoat yet still manage the semi-formal look.

The black tie equivalent of an opera hat!
