New to the site. Have read quite a bit and learned enough to know I'm stuck in a dilemma only you can help with. I want both but I can only have one. What's your opinion?

With a strong bias towards Borsalinos, they get my vote every time.....regardless.

The Borsalino won and it arrived in very good condition. It saw WWII in Italy in the company of Bruce Johnson. I call it the Bruce by Borsalino. It's on its way for a cleaning. When it arrives I'll post pics.

What early Borsalino could do with bunny fur felt is amazing. Remember the Strat was a low end Stetson. I do have a Royal DeLuxe Strat that starts to stack up with a Borso...
