Picked this up at an estate sale. It's a very cool fedora. A BORSALINO Allessandria - made of mohair (?) with a course linen ribbon. The weird things is the size: it's a "4 1/2" according to the inside tag, but it feels more like a 6 1/8-ish. . It was originally purchase at "SPALLOTTA Roma" and stamped on the inside paper tag under the sweatband: 34508 U2133. I love decoding the mystery to a vintage fedora. Any insight here? Thanks, from Seattle

Thanks! Yeah, 7 seems about right. What's a "Punti"?
Any idea of the manufacturing date based on the tag, logo, etc., I'm guessing about 1950s?
