SOLD.Vintage Borsalino XXXXX rollable

[Aureliano]

Please note that the "dust" and unevenness in color is NOT wear or damage but light reflecting on the velour. The hat is in fantastic condition, with even color.
The size on the label is 4 1/2 Punti (7 USA) but this fine hat is a true 7 1/8 as it fits me spot on. Crown: a tad short of 5 inches. Brim measures 2 1/2 inches, rolls beautifully and pops right back into shape. Sweat is in pristine shape, the liner shows some wear but the oil/onion skin is intact.
Selling 'cause I bought it as an experiment to see if green suited me. It didn't.
Take this one home as it is a somehow unusual specimen. Most velour rollables I've seen are brown. $ 130 shipped USA.
Will entertain trades with other Borsalinos specially gray with brims no smaller than 2 1/2.

Most accurate color: (Again the whiteness you see is NOT wear but light!)

The "dust" under the X's again, is light not dirt or wear.

Morning bump, gents. Take this one home please! or let's trade. I'll be putting it on Ebay tonight and I hate ebay.

 

[Aureliano]

Going to eBay once! (offers, trades!)

 

[Aureliano]

Going to eBay, twice! (fluteplayer let me know if you want me to hold it)

What do you think are the chances to stretch that hat to a long oval (egg oval) shape without distorting the shape of the brim?

 

[Aureliano]

Good chances to stretch it if you do it gradually. I've had great success stretching hats going little by little.

 

[reallybigtim]

I actually prefer the green hats over the browns but I cannot come close to the $130. What opening bid will you start with on ebay?

 

[Aureliano]

$100 at the very least. Ill sell it to you for $120 shipped.

I have just ordered a hat stretcher and will have to experiment on some of my other 7 1/8 regular oval hats to see the amount of success I can have with the reshaping process before I can invest.
I do like that hat, though. Thanks.

Waiting for a possible trade with fellow lounger!

What are you in the market for?

 

[Aureliano]

Basically anything vintage, would prefer a Borsalino but it's not a must. Gray, maybe a different shade of green (like your bantam's color) only requirement is brim of no less than 2 1/2. Got anything, Alan?

 

[willie]

Is this still available?

 

[Aureliano]

Yes it's still up for grabs.

 

[Aureliano]

Waiting for a possible deal with Alan...

 

[Aureliano]

Sale pending. Waiting for paypal.
