I have a cool little dental mirror that helps me look behind sweat bands and under liners, with the utmost of care...

I posted these pics on another thread but thought one of you might help with an approximate age on this soft beauty. I am sure it does not have signifigant age but the color and feel are just indescibable. This gray/sage colored "Pleuchete", is fast becoming a favorite!

I could not find a tag behind the band anywhere. I did not want to pull any threads loose to look under the liner. Will just have to guess at a time frame.

Wow, that is a great looking hat! Is the picture reversed, or is it currently bashed with the bow on the right?

Fathers Day Presents
So my wife and I were out hitting the Antique malls on Highway 98 outside of pensacola and I found these beuties tucked away inside some hat boxes. I managed to STEAL these from the proprietor for $50 for both including the hat boxes.
First the Black Homberg:
Next This one which appears to be a Fedora:
They will both need to be cleaned and aired out (They smell of smoke) but a couple of great finds.

Hello! I am Raphael and I am a french law student living in London!
Here is my first Borsalino! I will do more pictures and figure out how i can ulplaod them on the website!
The story how i get it is funny! I will tell you more if you allow me!
I am contemplating buying NOW a San Remo, or Claudio, or Gazella. I will probalby buy too next week a Como or como II. In fact I wanted one with a short brim and another one with a more classical Fedora. I am usually wearing grey, black or dark blue suits.
Thanks for being so passionate!
Borsalino Regards!

Borsalino Colombo
This velour is thick and zesty - somewhat more rugged in style and a little less refined and more casual than the elegant 5X Marque Grand Luxe.

Great hat, Alan. I think that's among the best Borsos I've seen. Versatility galore: jeans & t-shirt or suit & tie. The liner art looks cool, too. What is that, a ship rolling in the high seas? Can't quite see it.

Yes, a vintage nautical theme... perhaps related to the noted explorer and colonizer of the Americas?
Aureliano, you underestimate the popularity of these vintage Colombos. Quite a few of us around here have them in our stable ...

Borsalino, Open Road-style.
It's an Alessandria.
It is quite thin felt, but very pliable and extra soft (yet not floppy). It is very nice felt, indeed.

Nice one. Not to rub it in, but I bought an older Borsalino (60s? 70s?) that looks something like that, 2 3/4 brim, mine's a little darker color, which serves as my go-to hat. It looks better on me than most of my other hats.
