Thanks. I tend to believe that a good vintage Borsalino is just about as good as it gets.

Hey Dave,

Curious; Alan has mentioned this too. It seems the consensus is that newer Borsalino's are not up to vintage standards. How so?

Just getting back from a visit with my Dad out at the beach. Mostly rain and clouds, but we had one beautiful day. I brought a couple of 40's Stetsons - Stratoliner and my 7XCB mode edge homburg, the Intrigue.

Sitting by the dock of the bay... dad's wearing a nice felted-edge fedora that he bought at Saks in the fifties. He thinks he changed the liner and swapped the original ribbon for this corded alpine band... or maybe it came that way... we had a great time together.

Aureliano - I like the W&W hats you have. This one adds a cool twist to the dentists, that's for sure.

RBH - love the thin ribbon Borsalino.

Alan, nice pics of your visit to your dad. Looks like he has a Hollywood brim vibe going on.

Rodkins, cool ribbon on the Stetson.

For me, the Borsalino is fast becoming a good friend:

Beautiful hats wonderfully worn this weekend, gentlemen!

Ale: A rather stark and sterile backdrop to the rich and lush felt of your W&W. I love the photo!


Alan: Poignant photos of a memorable time spent with your Dad...and hats. Excellent choices for the weekend by the ocean!


David: Lovely Borsalino. You have come full circle and have returned to the Brotherhood! lol

Al, David thanks for your kind words. W&Ws are amazing hats. Wait 'till it get colder to see the homburg I have from them! ;)
BTW, I'd like to see the inside of your Borsalino, David. Did you post in the Brotherhood thread? I might have missed it...
