Interesting tag -- is there also a standard Borsalino tag under the sweat, with a serial number?

All the way from France... I hope I don't get burned. The guy has a lot of good feedback, though.

It comes from further than France.
You *know* that hat predates 1954 (and if you don't
you now have a homework assignment).
Hemingway Jones said:Jack,
How is it? Is it floppy, especially the brim? Is the felt soft?
Are you going to keep the present styling or reshape it?
Let me know if you need any help.
Regards,

Perhaps, August of 1963?Mojave Jack said:but without the Standard Quality and without the place names. it also has a code stamped in the inside of the sweatband: 133518, and a code on the store's tag that reads 8/63FNKK. The price was $11.95. Anybody care to venture a guess on age?
