Story & heritage
Borsalino is the oldest Italian luxury-hat specialist, founded in 1857 in Alessandria; the company’s name became associated with a particular felt-hat model and then with the wider language of refined Italian headwear.
Beaver Medium Brim is source-grounded in the official US store and belongs to the house’s felt-hat vocabulary: shaved, superior-quality, rollable or wide-brim felt depending on the model.
Materials & craft
Official product data describes this model through its felt quality, band width, lining and brim proportions; Borsalino’s production grounding states that felt hats are still made near Alessandria and require more than 50 manual steps and about seven weeks of work.
For this specific offer, the live product description notes: The Federico hat is an example of Borsalino's manufacturing excellence. The model is crafted from Beaver felt, known for its superior quality and durability. This hat is lined to ensure comfort and sturdiness. The design is enhanced by a 3 cm wide grosgrain ribbon. The medium brim measures approximately 6 cm. The hat comes with its Beaver hatbox, included.
How to choose & style
Wear it with clothes that understand proportion: soft tailoring, overcoats, denim jackets or knit polos let the brim frame the face instead of fighting the outfit.
For a first Borsalino, start with dark felt and a moderate brim; move to wide brims, rollables or specialty felts once the hat becomes part of the daily silhouette.
