Borsalino Western
I picked up this Borso western on the bay recently thinking I could make it work for me with a little work.
The felt is super thin and the edge has a really nice stitch (like a smaller version of my Como)
This hat was very dirty. It is not going to get to 7 3/8 without me destroying the sweatband so I am going to offer it up for sale for what I have into it which is $72 plus shipping.
I cleaned it up some and took it out to open crown.
It's still pretty dirty and the sweatband is not super strong. I did get some lexol on it and it softened up some. A few stitches are popped but not too bad. If nobody wants this I'm going to do a fedora conversion on it and trim the brim to 2 3/4 inches.
