This week I will feature Echter Borsalino Hats which were made for the German Market. The hats will be from the late 1920s up to the 1950s.
This is my final entry of the series.
Echter Borsalino "Lama" "Fico", 6 inch Open Crown, 2 1/2 inch Brim, Point 6, date stamped May 18, 1929. The felt is very soft / light weight with a unique very wide ribbon and bow design. It has an fantastic over welt that doesn't allow snapping. The sweatband and silk liner (unique color) are of the highest quality. The Form is very much of the time and place. Overall condition of the hat is excellent. The Berlin store / hat company (Max Eckard) that sold it did not survive WWII.
