Hello all, verdict needed on Vivaldi

[nola89]

Hello for the first time from New Orleans. My name is Brandon.

I have eyed this community for a long time and I am impressed with the number of knowledgeable and respectful people that hang around.

This is a hat that I really dig in pictures, but know nothing about it personally.

Does anyone have experience with this model? I have a couple of Borsalino caps that I really like but I have no Borsalino fedoras. What do you folks think?

:cheers1:

I haven't owned that model, but it seems very expensive for what it is.
Depending on your size, going the vintage route might be the way to go. Vintage stingy brims are relatively common, and most are extremely high quality, better than most production hats out there today.

I do like the ribbon on the Vivaldi, though you could always get a vintage hat re-ribboned, and still save quite a bit of money.

I like Borsos I agree that may be a little high look around
