Keeper!

Nice Borso, job, is that new or vintage?


I usually don't make a practice of answering for other people, but I believe his Borso is a new one. I remember, because his modern Alessandria is what inspired me to purchase one for myself!

It's dark grey but has a very lovely blue-green hue:

Jimmy, I don't think anyone captures the quality of their hats better. Beautiful.

Thanks, Alan (and gents) -- that sentiment is much appreciated. Fact is, you do a darn fine job of capturing the quality of your felts -- I always enjoy your photos.

Nice Borso, btw.

Cheers,
JtL

It is getting a lot of wear time. It is very comfortable.

Beautiful hat man!

Douglas, Jimmy... thank you.

This is one of those Borsos that spent most of its life in a triangular box before being released back into the wild.

Wow, that is a pocket hat? That looks fantastic! Now I am jealous.

Thanks again! This is not the true pocket hat... that one is still waiting for a steam bath. Here are some additional photos of this late 40s early 50s boxed borso, and a fall head shot:
