Old Borsalino

My San Remo, great fur felt¡¡¡¡¡

Panamabob Optimo Cuenca

Just received it from Lounge member Mr. Lucky, who found the brim too wide for him.

It has a cloth sweatband, and it fits well. It's not quite LO enough for me, but it's flexible and will conform with wear. The brim's slightly wonky, but it won't take much effort to tame it. I'm thinking of replacing the sort of generic, thin, bow-less grosgrain with a 2-inch puggaree that I have. I think the wider ribbon will suit the proportions of the tall crown better.

Now where it belongs...

Buler sold me this beauty because it was just to grand for his noggin. LOVE the color & consider it a Stetson Wanderer given the bound edge & the ribbon treatment. I really like the contrasting of the edge ribbon to the band. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Where is that style today Stetson??? [huh]

That'd be yours truly.

I replaced the rather "meh" hatband with a black pleated puggaree. Looks much better to my eyes.

If you find time would it possible to take some pictures behind (pulled up) the sweatband? Interested in his contruction methods. Thanks!

Here is a photo: the liner is stitched from place to place, and the white knot on the leather sweatband seems to be stitched with the hat, preventing to completely pull up the sweatband.

Thank you for taking the additional photo.

Still feeling pretty lousy but going out for my Sunday...
Just a quick post to show off this latest wonder, I bought the shirt for this hat and ordered some ties which :cry: have not yet arrived

Borsalino Fan · May 9, 2010

Perhaps somone could help with a questiom. I found in a second-hand store in Italy a Borsalino in pristine condition. I 'd like to buy it but I don't know if it's authentic. The medallion in the center says G.B. Borsalino FU Lazzaro, which I've never seen on any of my other Borsalinos. It appears to be from the 50's or 60's. Could anyone please tell me if this was a label that Borsalino used at one time?

Thank you.

Yes, it is authentic. Borsalino revived the old GB Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & Co stamping/logo for a period of time in the late 50's/early 60's

At the end of a week I would rather not have to refer to ever a final reprieve arrived at the very end with the receipt of friday's post.
This very nice, and much overlooked in ebay I would have to think, offering from the Gun Club:
Very high memory in this green-grey felt. If you bend it hard it looks like cardboard would and holds that shape well until it returns to what it seems to have been stored in for a very long time. Maybe it had been put into a box just a little too small and the sides want to curl up a bit, rather like an outback style brim. I'll have to dig out the brim moulds and steam/store a while to get what I want from it.
The texture is that soft suede feel to the finger and very pleasing although not thick and soft but rather thinner and firmer with a sensual tendency.
2-5/8" brim, crown 4 X 3-5/8 creased as shown
Style - Spring Creek
Colour - Moss
and except for being poorly stored somehow for some time it is a clean/sweet little find

That hat looks a HELLUVA lot better on you than it did on me. Looking good!

Anton Peschel Tyrol

This 7 3/8 Anton Peschel Tyrol (Dinkelsbühl, Germany ) velour went under the radar on US eBay ($16.00 including shipping!). I am thinking mid - late 50s and made for the US market. I don't believe that it was ever worn and the brown velour finish (very difficult to photograph) is some of the finest I have encountered post WWII. Also a Borsalino like corrugated vent and hanging cord (similar to Hückel). Over quality is super! More details in the German - Austrian thread.

That's a fine catch, Steve. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

So it seems that, with some patience and a fine-tuned sub-radar scanner, some of those stray Peschels of old can still be found out there in the wild.

I'd really love to get my hands on a pre-WWII specimen, or at least pre-50's.
After all I have seen so far, I'm guessing that my gray velour Peschel is from the early to mid-50's, which is pretty close but still not the real deal.

Hmmm...it just occured to me that I might appear overly picky...
