Time and time again I see these hats, there is also one or two " en passant" mentions in a thread here but the history isn't corroborated by enough material to be separated from the legend.
These hats are stamped Borsalino Calidad superior and they say that once upon a time they were really made by Borsalino (someone mentions Beaver which , even for Borsalino, is rare) although the price of a Borsalino was never so low that many people would have been able to afford one in Bolivia.
So , anyone has a " real " documented , historic account on how this sort of bowler hat came to be used in Bolivia and ig Borsalino ever had anything to do with hats worn by not very affluent people there?
this one is both named Borsalino AND Barcelona
