My new aquisition just came in the mail today. I picked this up for a song from a lady on the internet and it's absolutely a beauty.
It was her father in laws hat that he had since new. Not sure, but I believe he may have hardly ever wore it or never at all. The color is a beautiful blue shade. Even came with the original box but that was pretty trashed to say the least. In the box was a wrapped Muriel cigar and a plastic rain cover with the original paper work for the cover. Hard to find size 7 3/8. Hope I'm posting pics of this in the correct forum.

Beautiful hat. That wide binding is incredible.

Any chance of seeing the tags/labels behind the sweatband?

We have a dedicated thread to show off new hats, and we have a Stetsonian thread….no harm done, but you might consider adding to an existing thread rather than starting a new one. Just sort of the way it’s done around here. Just a thought.

I hate my user name: please call me Brent. Hat size 61-62cm

Thank you, I really appreciate the advice. I was on the Stetsonian thread but wasn't sure I wa on the correct forum as there were other hats mentioned and shown. But good advice, I'll post the pics there. I'll get some more photos of the tags and labels.

Echter Borsalino possibly 1930s. The Felt is Mélange a has a somewhat Soleil Velour like finish. It's difficult to find this era and older Borsalino Soft Felts with specialty finishes. I found this Soft Felt back in 2021.

Deutsche Industrie-Ausstellung Berlin 1952, Haus Italien, Post Card. "Echter Borsalino" Exhibition with hats, boxes and medal display. I found this postcard back in 2018.
