I'm not sure, I didn't ask them. I was pretty excited about them putting in the Borsalino band. LOL

I picked it yesterday from Henry The Hatter in Southfield Michigan. Sure enough a Borsalino replacement sweat band. Steamed and brushed it and gave it a quick bash this morning.

Yes I agree, I don't mind spending a little extra if they did good work for me in the past. Henry The Hatter is about an hour from me and I've used them before. They claim to be the oldest hatter is the USA. JJ Hat Center is supposed to be the oldest hatter in New York. They both have a lot of...

I just picked up my first Borso and am looking for acceptance into the Brotherhood. I've spent a couple days pouring through these pages and would like some information on this hat. It says it is a Marque Grand Luxe and it has 6 x's. Its buttery smooth and super soft. It came smashed up in a...

I believe it was a 7-3/8 or 7-1/2. I would have to go back and check the size to be certain.

Thank You for the information.

I just found this bright green Huckels hat in an antique shop. Very soft fur. I think by the label it dates between 45 and 75, if anyone has anymore information on it I would appreciate that. Its in like new condition. Does anyone know if its worth the $58 asking price. Its too big for me but I...
