I don't know anyting about this hat other than I wanted to try something with a smaller brim.....Sinatra, or whatever......should get it by next week I would think.

I have noticed this seller having lots of vintage hats and a narrative style of auction listing. After lurking on this board, I hesitate to admit that I own two Borsalinos and love both of them very much.

That one you snagged looks very suave!

Others will comment with more authority on the quality and probable age, but for the price, it looks like you got a pretty nice hat to me!

Congrats, and good luck with it,

David

rilico, actually frequents the lounge but I'm unsure of his handle here. He has great fedora's, unfortunately they are usually too small for me.

Thanks everyone....the 7 will be close for me, I think it will work...if not I am told I can probably get a little more out of it, but I have worn both 7 and 7 1/8 and both can work for me...anyway, I am curious to see how this hat will work for me.

The hat came today..it is as described, it even fits...here is the problem, I know know that I need a hat with a wider brim..the small brim makes the crown seem way too high...so I am going to offer it on this list first, if no takers it does to ebay...service was great....
