That is what Borsalino CLAIMED... However I have been given the information, that it would be impossible for a big factory as Borsalino to do so. And it makes sense: Borsalino is making round about 1500 hats a day (or so I was told again). Imagine 1500 hats multiplied by 365 days for one year and then multiply with 4 for four years as advertised. In that case, you'd constantly have 2,190,000 hats in stock, waiting to age Whether my source told the truth or not, I can't control. But it both makes sense and he wouldn't have any advantage of lying to me.Funny you should mention that; I swear someone posted in this section several months back about a claim that Borsalino used to pre-age their felt somehow; I remember Fedora saying that they would have to have lots of blocks and storage rooms to keep all of these hats sitting around aging...or maybe I'm going nuts too
Yes Sir, any felt can be killed later on, even though you cannot expect a low quality felt to become a top notch felt, "just" by killing it (CERTAINLY not talking about yours here - just in general). Also: this is an AB / AB-Dlx. exclusive thing (so no problem for you).A question sirs; in a few years when I send my current AB in for a reblock, could it get the Secret Treatment, or is this something you can only do when you first make the hat?
