What is the difference between a fedora and a Borsalino?
The difference between a fedora and a Borsalino comes down to style. A fedora is a hat that has a crown-like shape with a crease in the middle and a wide brim. A Borsalino has a similar crown but a shorter brim. The Borsalino gets its name from the Italian maker Giuseppe Borsalino, who first introduced his eponymous take on the fedora hat in the 18th century.
