Peace brother... it's a beauty. Not a Balbi?

Thanks, Alan (and Lefty btw!) Nope, this one is from Luzzi Roma. [huh]

That color is spectacular!

 

[Aureliano]

Thanks, Josh.

Note the triangular bow detail just like the German hat RobStC recently posted. This is the second hat ever that I've seen with this style.

That's lovely, Aureliano - beautiful colour :eusa_clap

Hey....! Do you think we've got enough people to start a very small, very exclusive club of 'Those Who Own Hats With Triangular Bow Knots' ???

Aureliano,

That's a real beauty! Great finish and unique trianguler (see Rob's Velour) bow work.

Those Who Own Hats With Triangular Bow Knots

More of a trapezoid really ... but Delta Force sounds better than Team Trapezoid ...

Let's do it, Rob! Start it!

Thanks, Steve! I'm really loving this one: it's so light!
Zetwal, good point! lol

Alessandria?

Well..... my hat has a genuine triangle - none of this 'sort of trapezoid, almost a triangle' stuff!!

So 'Delta Force' it is, then.
A small but very select bunch.....

So.. does this make me a brother?

Borsalino homburg

Found this Borsalino homburg at a thrift market, paid ca $9, a fairly good price, I feel

Imported and sold by Ferner Jacobsen in Oslo, which may be considered the best men's outfitter in Norway. (Self presentation in English)

Factory logo and owners initials:

Under the sweatband:

After cleaning and shaping:

The quality, both of material and workmanship is outstanding. It's the first time I have owned a hat where the top of the lining is stitched to the felt to keep it in place, for example. I am very happy with this one, and it's my first choice these days.


Can anybody help me date this Borsalino?

Thank you

Very nice Homburg and super deal plus a larger size. I would say late 1950s early 1960s.

Thanks, mayserwegener. I remember my father used to wear a Homburg when I was a kid in the late 50s/early 60s. Nice to own one from that period.

 

[mayserwegener]

Yes the Homburg was very popular on your side of the pond during that time period.

San Remo Borso, just arrived today.

Request permission to join the Brotherhood now that I own a 50s velour finnish Borsalino.

(The brim isn't quite as narrow as it looks in the picture.)
