Another Great Hat (5/5) Jan 23, 2008 Larry Fillingim Pensacola FL US
  I believe in "you get what you pay for" and this is no exception, especially with Borsalino. Fantastic hat for travel, folding, etc. and then springing back to shape. Very warm too on cold days.
Borsalino Crushable (5/5) Oct 16, 2009 Paul Williamson Attleboro Ma
  A great hat. I really hesitated before ordering this hat. I didn't want to spend so much for an unlined fedora, but I finally gave in to curiosity.
The Crushable Safari is lightweight and beautifully made. I did need to exchange my usual 7 3/8 for a 7 1/2, but the folks at Village Hat Shop handled the swap well. I'm really enjoying it now.

  I love this hat. It looks great and fits perfectly. The color is also great. I wear it all the time. Let me know if it comes in black too.

Frequent Approval (5/5) Dec 30, 2009 Howard Delano
  I love this hat already. Usually it takes time for a hat to grow on you. The fit and feel of this particular hat gives pleasure each and every time you put it on. Whether worn to a social event, shopping, bad weather or every day, this hat draws compliments from the most surprising number of people. It sheds water like a duck and you really can roll it up and stick it in an overcoat pocket. Then after a few pats with your hand, restore the original shape. Wow!
Thanks for a really good experience.
Great All-Around Hat! (5/5) Mar 17, 2011 Kevin M. Moore Orange CA US
  This is a Hat whose simple elegant style works whether I am wearing a suit or out and about in a pair of jeans. It's very comfortable and holds up to the rain better than I thought it would. I haven't tried packing it yet, but it's nice to know I have the option. I would definitely be interested in checking out other Borsalino hats. I appreciated the the advice and the great service I received, before and after the purchase.
Great Fedora For The Rain (4/5) Jan 6, 2008 Gabriel Carmel CA US
  A true "crusher" can easily be packed and springs right back to life. Brim doesn't really have much stiffness though, so can have a slightly floppy look. Also, crown is just slightly shorter than my other Borsalino's, which may-or may not-make it easier to blow off one's head... As far as being water-resistant-this hat really does keep your head dry in torrential rains (I wore it constantly for three days in and out of some pretty-good downpours). After it dries shows no sign of stains or unusual wear. Very comfortable-with a cloth headband-that does not "shrink" as leather probably would. My hat was blown off my head in some gusty winds (would have happened with any hat without a chin-strap) and unfortunately sat in puddles of water on two or three occasions. Still--no problem-the hat didn't shrink and looks like new. (I think in a wool hat I'd want to go up an eighth or quarter in size to prevent shrinkage (ask the experts at Village Hat Shop to be sure). Overall this hat feels great-and makes for a good walking hat. I'd give it 5 stars if the brim was a little stiffer and the crown a little higher. Maybe a bit pricey for a crusher, but then again, it's a Borsalino, and feels like a million dollars! I love the sage green-it's kind of like an off brown-moss. This will be my new "walking around hat". I love it!
Great for hunting / shooting (5/5) Dec 26, 2007 J Garbolino Truckee CA US
  This is a beautiful hat, very light and comfortable. I received it as a gift (I provided the link to this particular hat as a hint) and it works very well in the field, and on the trap range.

Well, after all, it's a Borsalino.
Great hat (4/5) Jan 15, 2009 G Hendren Richmond Va US
  This is a replacement for a German hat I've had 5 or 6 years. It has great fit and workmanship, as expected of a Borsalino. I'm wearing it through it's first winter and it's working great. I'm concerned about the "crushability" and therefore I'm taking care, in spite of the other reviews. Why only 4 stars? I would have preferred a slightly wider brim.
