»THE BOGART« BY BORSALINO CUT 2 Back to the 1950s
The Italian brand BORSALINO , founded by GIUSEPPE BORSALINO in 1957 in ALESSANDRIA , has since produced elegant men’s hats made from the fur of rabbits and beavers. The most famous model is the »FEDORA« , a soft felt hat with a ridge along the crown of the head.
Borsalino has close associations to the world of cinema – and even closer ones to Hollywood star HUMPHREY BOGART . He was equipped with countless models and shaped the hat as a style statement in the 1950S and 1960S . The model »THE BOGART« was especially dedicated to the actor by the milliner and, just like Bogart himself, became a true icon. A medium brim, high crown, grey felt and the brand’s own ribbon with logo characterise this hat. SISTER-MAG.COM
