Western Borsalino

It appears that no one on the Lounge won this
hat. I was just going to bring it to Besdor's attention,
but I realized the auction was over.

It appears to be a 1930s Borsalino cowboy hat.
An amazing thing.

Even in that condition, I'd say the buyer got a bargain.

It truely is a beautiful hat, and though I aggree it is a bargain for that type of hat, I still think it expensive.

Quite the hat. A very different style for a Borsalino. Very interesting. I wonder if that hat could be transformed? It would make an odd looking fedora?

Holy Cow...what a steal!! Nope, I'm not being facetious, thats a great price for what it is. Check out the ribbon treatment.

I eyed that hat. It is absolutely beautiful. That bow is really complicated. Not my flavor but man is it nice

I did see the hat. Its the first one in a cowboy shape that was not in the Borsalino museum that I've seen. I should have bid on the hat but I didn't think that I would win it. I'm sure that another one will pop up on Ebay in 20 years!!

Wonderful vintage hat, the kind the rodeo starts wore in the 20's and 30's. Don't alter it at all! It is a treasure.

I was not even aware that Borsalino ever made cowboy hats.

That's an ace hat fellas. Needs a new leather, but it's a humdinger of a hat. Wouldn't think of changing it in any way.

I think if the leather sweatband were in better shape , I would have bid on it . However , the pice would probably gone over 500.00 easily.

That is an excellent hat. I admire the ribbon work and the color is great.
