My initiation into the Brotherhood consists of the following Borsas:

1-Borsalino Homburg-6-7/8 and in mint condition.The label says it was custom for a man named James in Belgium.Hmmm.Thats my name.


2-Borsalino grey-6-7/8-.My most frequently worn hat.



3-Borsalino light green/brown(i have heard both opinions)6-7/8



4-Borsalino Gruppa Doria tweed-6-7/8-Goes very well with my Harris Tweed jackets!!



5--Borsalino Gruppa Doria tweed cap-yet another good tweed



The last two are before i trimmed the moustache!!!


I want to buy more Borsalinos but am running out of room in this apartment!!!!

For now, Bud is "Il Padrino" ("The Godfather") of this thread.


Straws do count. Especially in hot, dry Italian summers.

I think Douglas could form a rival gang or be declared "Il Padrino segundo" with his submissions for membership. Moustache could be "consigiliere"!

I vote Tony be the God Father of the Borsalino brotherhood, and not just because of his hats!

Indeed!!!

Oh, well then. Though i prefer the Stetsons, i have a couple of Borsalinos. Here is one that was recently resized for me by Art. This is really a beautiful hat. The felt is amazing. Cav edge, high crown, mid-sized brim.

I have two, a brown on brown and a gray with black ribbon. I don't have them here at work (because I'm supposed to be working), but I'll try and take photos tonight.

Dinerman, Those are grand.

You found an older Borsalino in an antique shop for 12 bucks? I'm sorry, Dinerman, but I'm afraid we'll have to kill you now.
