Yes, the Borsalino is a very well-made hat. It was not the first time, the hat was soaked. Today rain again - it was raining cats and dogs.

Another good looking lid. I was wondering based on the name if this hat is packable?

Yes, the hat is packable. But I never did. So I cannot tell anymore. The hat can stand the rain very well, but with heavy rain, the hat is 'leaking'.

A couple of good looking lids there. I like the looks of the leather jacket, fedora combo in the last pic.

HH, you can wear that hat in the rain. Remember, I live in Oregon. It rains here from time to time. :wink:

Thanks, but I'm aware of that (althought it can rain for days in Holland), but the hat is new and beautiful. So.......

Nice looking hat, David. I'm glad to see he's still delivering hats.

Today, biking with my Penman. Rain and 10 degrees Celsius. The first raindrops for my Penman.

Keep a grip on the brim. From what I remember of the weather in the BENELUX that rain is never by itself, it always brings a nice stiff breeze with it. :)
