Trying to think of something to say about this post-war Borsalino but the words are not with me today.

Not a very good picture of my Bradford thin ribbon conversion...it was originally an earlier 1960s red liner Western that I converted to this thin ribbon. I redid the brim the other day on a copy of a Strat flange that was made for me by 'Hatters Supply House of Colorado'...

This is closer to the hat's true color

...and, my Royal Stetson OR refurb that was done on the same flange as the Bradford. The brim on this OR is a bit more narrow than the Bradford...

Some Hank Williams

From 'The Last Picture Show'...excellent movie with a great cast


Another amazing job, Terry. Ole Hank would be proud.

I like the look of the colour combos on that lid. I'm not familiar with Tesi. Can we see the inside?
Nice hatstand behind you, too.

Thanks Steve. Here's the inside. It's my one and only Tesi. Made in Italy but found it in Amsterdam. The sweatband is very comfortable and it's a relatively versatile color for casual and formal.

Thanks for showing, Scion. Versatile colour scheme indeed. A very modern Borsalino style of liner and logo, I'd say. Be interesting to know who's behind Tesi. Maybe @Daniele Tanto knows.

As you well know Alan, pictures paint a thousand words, especially your pictures. That Borsalino speaks for itself through your lens. Simple, classic and elegant.

Thank you for your words. I got a little lost trying to express my appreciation of Borsalino offerings in the post-war era. Perhaps the tendency often seen to assigning an earlier vintage for Borsalino is the best praise one can give to a hat.

Today....continuing with the Gorasgu Borsalino’s. A “Silchi” long hair with not so much sparkle yet still difficult to capture the luster and texture of the Avorio color. The pics are in several different lights.
I believe Silchi might refer to a silk content which presents a bit softer and fuzzier than the Angora of yesterday.
Or maybe i just need to brush better. Lol
I don’t think this one has been here before but i’m wearin it so you’re bearin it. Ha
Be well. Bowen
Ps: of note..it seems a trait of Gorasgu’s to be non-reeded yet different felts and brim treatments.

You get an OOH AAH on that bad boy, Bowen! Magnificent hat.
