peluche Borsalino

[Stoney]

I just picked this one up off of the auction place. Since I'm currently out of town, I'm looking forward to seeing a new hat when I return to Tidewater.

Maybe a Guiseppe model stated in the description. However Guiseppe Borslino was the founder of Borsalno hats, so Hmmm. It is one of those so called hairy finish fedoras. It looks to have never been bashed or worn and is fortunately just my size.

BTW: This makes two that I own so I'm hoping that qualifies me for Button Man status in the Borsalino Brotherhood.

Stoney , that is a good hat you won on Ebay. It's probably from around 1970.
They dont make them as good anymore ,thats for sure!!

PELUCHE

Douglas recently traded a "Peluche" to me. It is a great plush well made hat.

Some photographs taken by a fellow photographer while on assignment

during the Florida Steroid Pharmaceutical busts.

I am shooting a video clip on the left.

I'll post some more formal attired photographs soon.

Regards and another thank you to Douglas.

Great 'in action' shot, Weegee.

Well WeeGee, it certainly looks better on you than it did on me. You look fantastic :eusa_clap

Thanks Douglas and AlanC.


Great new avatar Douglas...

Stoney you are going to like your "Peluche".

 

[Stoney]

Thanks Fellas

It was nice to hear those comments on the hat. I'm sure that I will enjoy it as I've been searching for one in my size for some time now.

I think Steven is correct about the age. It was in a beat up Dobbs box which was marked "Barsalina 1971".It also had a customers name on there as well .
I could not make out the name in the photo. I'm guessing that someone ordered this hat from a dealer, the hat was placed in the Dobbs box, with the above written on it and the customer never picked it up, or since it was sitting on a shelf in a non Borsalino box it was lost in the shuffle.

WeGee, Your's looks great on you. I've never owned a hat with felt like this. What advice would you have on setting the bash?
I'll be sure to post some photos after I have it tweaked.

 

[WEEGEE]

No setting required

Stoney,


The "Peluche" is so soft and plush you can change the bash daily. It will

hold its shape yet is so amiable to shape by hand.

Great new avatar Douglas...

That's what I was gonna say.

"Peluche" w/suit and plush tie

Douglas,

Thank for the great hat and tie!!!

Stoney,

I am partial to the center dent on this one.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Damn that hat looks great on you WEEGEE. You always have such wonderful photos.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Stoney]

Hey, It does look great on you. Love the suit.

I just received a message that mine was shipped yesterday.
It's a shame that I won't be home for another week. Oh well, it's
just one more thing to look forward to one the return home.

 

[Stoney]

The hat finally arrived..

Well, WeeGee you were right, I do love this hat. It's super soft and takes a bash any way you want it with no effort required, just a gentle squeeze here and there. I'm pretty confident that this one will never be sent down the road to make room for something different.

I hope you'll forgive the poor quality of the pictures, but I've become convinced that Cameras and I just aren't meant for each other.

 

[WEEGEE]

You and lid

Stoney

I hope you'll forgive the poor quality of the pictures, but I've become convinced that Cameras and I just aren't meant for each other.

Yeah... said to Camera " Its me not you" and "I hope we can still be friends"lol

Well, regardless we expect photographs of you and the new lid.
