Unfortunately, the link explaining how to attach
a photo appears to be broken. Didn't work for me.
You can get to the info by following one of the other
links and scrolling to the photos information. Here is the text:

How do I attach a photo?
Follow these simple steps:

1. Upload your image to a server. You can use either your own ISP (internet service provider) or image hosting sites such as: http://system.freepgs.com; www.fotki.com; or www.photobucket.com.

2. Once you have uploaded your photo and can see it in your browser, put your cursor over the photo and right click. Select properties, which will show you the Internet "address" of the photo. Highlight this address and copy it.

3. To attach the image to a post at The Fedora Lounge, start a post and click on the little image icon above the text field. A pop up box will allow you to paste the address of your image. When you are finished, Click "ok." The photo will appear with your post. Only certain types of files may be attached: these are the valid file extensions for files to be attached to this forum.

After posting, the attachment will show up in the body of your message. To view the contents of the attachment (if it is not already displayed) simply click the filename link that appears next to the attachment icon:

Steven, I just posted how to attach a photo here:

You have to put the photos in a public site that has a
URL you can use. I use a free flickr.com account.

Looking forward to the pictures.

Besdor, does the "s.d." on the card in the picture above mean "senza data" ("undated"?)


.

 

[Dinerman]

i like the ribbon on that light brown derby there (the one on the left).

 

[Marc Chevalier]

They're fantastic pictures and it's great of Steve (Besdor) to share them with us!

What I'm hoping for most of all is an explanation of Borsalino's labeling system(s).

Besdor, were you able to find out once and for all whether Borsalino's earlier hats had dates indicated on their paper labels? And if so, how can we decipher those dates?

I hope that the Borsalino Museum was willing and able to provide answers.

As for liners , I dont know if I took any pictues but I'm going back in 3 months and will take ALOT of pictures .Stay tuned as they will be coming along slowly.

Picture #4

This is a Borsalnio velour finish hat from the 1930's . In all of the years of selling and collecting vintage hats I have never felt a hat like this .
There is NOTHING made today that comes close to this .

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm dying to know whether we can find out the dates of our old Borsalinos by using the label information. Crossing my fingers. Steven?
