Good workmanship. 

Borsalino hats continue to carry the quality of a century-old brand, and the best Panama hat top is a work of art. The factory still continues to use antique machines from 1857. Although the efficiency of the machine is not comparable to the speed of modern flow processing, the excellence of manual inheritance has always followed the original intention of the founders : the production of each hat requires craftsmen to go through more than 70 procedures, and the working hours are often as long as 3 months. All craftsmen are veterans with more than 20 years of working experience, and some even inherit their father's business.


Finely selected superior materials. 

The raw materials used by Borsalino to make hats are the most excellent straw stems obtained after many careful selections. Unlike other hat brands, Borsalino uses emery and shark skin as tools in the grinding stage of the production process to achieve flawless results.

Create interaction that includes user participation. 

The hat sent to the store for the first time, like most traditional Italian handicraft workshops, is only a bare, semi-finished conical product that is not fully formed and does not have any ornaments. In fact, the final design of the hat, such as the main product, the Panama straw hat, is completed in the store. The ribbon can be selected according to the buyer's personal preferences. The results highlight the brand's humanized characteristics and increase customer interaction.


The characteristics of these high-quality products are also an important factor in our distinction between Borsalino and other brand hats.
