Talk:Borsalino

Untitled
I have tried to further rewrite the Borsalino article at Borsalino/Temp so that it is not breaching any copyright problems. Yes, the original submission still followed the original source too closely. I am working on that. I have reduced the article to the bare facts in more of my own wording. I should have done that before submission, but I intended to work with it more later. SF2K1 00:57, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Seminumerical 12:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC) Lapin fur? what is a Lapin? Lapin is french for rabbit, is that what was meant or is it some other creature?
 * Yes. The borsalino hats were founded through "Lapin", aka Rabbit, fur. They later expanded their top of the line hats to utilize beavers (I have no idea why yet), leaving rabbit as the "standard" and felt or faux fur for the cheap hats. SF2K1

The article in English appears to be a machine translation from another language (Italian?). "Employments" for example instead of "employees". Whole sentences are incomprehensible presumably because the wrong words have been used in the translation.Milesnfowler (talk) 12:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC) -

I don't know if linking to a page containing information about the new Borsalino hats is considered advertisement, so I didn't place the link in the article page. The link is http://www.newmax.it/Borsalino/index-borsa.htm --phauly 08:29, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

"the company tries to keep all the charm and class from last century's fashion." This reads like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia entry. Seems like it should be rephrased for NPOV. Agathman (talk) 23:21, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Jews
Jewish Lubavitcher sectarians wear the Borsalino hats in black color, which started after their Rebbe Menachem Shneerson abolished wearing of Hasidic hats, shtreimels, etc. --Autismal (talk) 03:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Well actually it's more of the black hat of choice for the black hat wearing Jews which is not just Chabad, also all of the Litvaks, and Heimish Jews as well.Saxophonemn (talk) 06:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
