someone buy this Borsalino....

...so I don't have to:

it's gorgeous, there's nothing wrong with it...I just figured out the sizing wrong. I can wear up to a 5, but this is a 6, which makes it a 7 3/8. I believe a whole bunch of you on here have that hat size. So please...feel free to outbid me. It's a beaut and I hope it goes to a good home.

Too quick to hit the 'bid' button, I know...

Say, that is nice. But how do you figure the size?

Okay havershaw, you're off the hook. It'll go higher than I want to bid, but what the heck.

Thanks, pal.

It's a beauty. I really wish I could wear the thing.

As to sizing, there's an old thread that breaks it down:

I finally wrote all of this down so I could more easily reference it while cruising eBay.

Noted and saved....thanks.

I wear a 7 3/8 and this is what the seller sent me on the size 6.

5 1/2 size equals 22"inside length 6 1/2 size equals 23"inside length 6 size equals 22 1/2"inside.

Looks like its more toward a 7 1/4

Congratulations! That looks like it will be a nice lid. Is that a cavanaugh edge I see on it? I look forward to the pictures.

Regards to all,

Congrats, Sharpetoys. The bidding went beyond my meager budget!

Hope it fits. I was concerned about that too.

Another fine vintage Borsalino adopted, and ready to serve its new owner for many decades. Good job, Roger.
