This Barbisio (a nemesis of Borsalino) with Open Road styling was intended to be the first Barbisio in my regular rotation, but alas it doesn't fit nor is it a good candidate to "adjust".

The vintage appears to relatively (by FL standards) new. It has every indication of being rarely or very lightly worn. The liner and sweat show no signs dirt or perspiration. The leather is supple and the seams intact.

Here are the particulars of the hat as shown in the pics.

Color is brown and darker than the side views show. It is a rich gorgeous chocolate brown and closer to the color seen in the bottom view.

Felt is thick, pliable and buttery. It feels like a very high beaver content. No bites, scratches, stains or cuts.

Crown stands 4 3/4 inches tall at the highest point in the bash shown

Brim is 2 5/8 inches

Ribbon is 1/2 inch wide

$70 to my PayPal puts it in a box and on the way to you.
