What hat are you waiting for today?

60's or 70's
that label is similar but different than the 50's style

Ok thanks
Was quality still good for this era for Borsalino?

Got my first Alessandria and love it. Early 90's and its great felt. Soft n supple.

Got it off a member here through an auction. Sweat stitched up but looks great aside from that.

Very nice!

I'd be glad to have it, period. I wouldn't give a hoot if it was 10 or 12 years younger rather then older. If its nice, its nice. Especially if you like it!

these are a different world my friend ... if you are anything like me, once you own one you will own 5

Wow, thanks for the warning! (Sounds wonderful)

Well I guess that depends on who you ask. Some will give you an opinion based on personal experience, some will only parrot what they have read here. Others will only repeat what the big boys said on the playground. My first post was not to dog your hat, but to say I didn't agree with your dating. To answer your question, their quality was good for this era, but I prefer the older felt......and yes I own hats from all ages.

Lol. "Big boys said on the playground" ???
Well put.

just landed one of my dream hats in pristine condition ... my wife is going to kill me ... so if you don't hear from me for a while ... call... the ... police !

Glad you got that one , Anthony. Almost got it last night after losing a bid on one of Miami's hats. It's a beauty!

 

[FedOregon]

These are all the wrong size!!!

 

[Jeremiah]

No. You are right guys. I am sure this thing will be fun.

 

[Bob Roberts]

...and it will feel and look great.

No worries. I never took offense.
Love the hats. That's an awesome pic.

Maybe she'll have the good graces to bury you in it.

Looks super nice to me...even some of the real new ones are worth having! Not sure how old that one is, but it is not a new one for sure!

Hide all the large frying pans...you'll be fine! Nice hat there, too!

Just got in the queue at Black Sheep Hatworks for a hat he calls The Imperial. Color is Black Cherry in 100% Beaver with a long hair finish. Only 9 months to wait now. Bob has invited me out for the fitting when time. Will be fun to meet him and see his shop.

9 Months? Holy Moly! You'll go bonkers waiting...and waiting.....

We'd just have to dig him up to get it.
