To
Determine Your Hat Size |
|
|
|
Measure your head, in
inches, just above your ear line, coming across your
forehead.
Divide the number of inches by pi (3.1415) to
determine your U.S. size - 7 1/8 for example. ( 22 1/2"
divided by pi = 7.16 or hat size 7 1/8 [ 7.125] plus a
little.
If you have a tape in centimeters, simply measure and note
the number of centimeters.
The Europeans make it so
simple! In this case the 22 1/2 " head would be a 57.
(22.5 x 2.54 cm/inch = 57).
Each centimeter = 1/8 of a head size.
|
|
7 = 56 |
7 1/8 = 57 |
|
7 1/4 = 58
|
7 3/8 = 59 |
|
and so on.... |

Brief History of the Borsalino Hat
Established in 1857. some consider Borsalino as the finest
hats made in the world. Borsalino is synonymous with style
and elegance.
 Borsalino
produces their own felt from the finest Belgian lapin
fur at their factory in Alessandria, Italy. The felt
Borsalino hats are still produced today just as they
once were one hundred years ago.
Giuseppe Borsalino,
after visiting Italy and France to learn the secrets
of the trade, set up the first artisan workshop for
the production of felt hats. When Giuseppe Borsalino
died in 1900, the production had reaches 750.000 hats,
60% of which were destined for export.
Teresio Borsalino
succeeded to his father in the family business. His
success lasted some decades. Then, in the 1940s,
business declined as the hat was no longer a part of
everyday dress. However, the fame of its trademark
remained untouched all over the world, and the name
Borsalino soon became part of fashion history. In 1970
it even inspired a famous and successful film:
"Borsalino", of course. In 1986 the factory moved to a
new site, more efficient and modern, in the suburbs of
Alessandria, whereas the offices of the old site not
only house the new University of Alessandria, but also
a piece of the Borsalino history: a precious museum
dedicated to the history of the hat. |

A traditional Jewish wedding
is full of meaningful rituals, giving expression to
the deepest significance and purpose of marriage.
These rituals symbolize the beauty of the relationship
of husband and wife, as well as their obligations to
each other and to the
Jewish people. |
|
In traditional Jewish
literature marriage is actually called kiddushin,
which translates as "sanctification" or "dedication."
"Sanctification,". |
|
Shidduch - The
very first stage of a traditional Jewish marriage, is
the shidduch, or matchmaking. |
|
When the families have
met, and the young couple have decided to marry, the
families usually announce the occasion with a small
reception, known as a vort. |
|
Ketuvah - At the
reception itself, the first thing usually done is the
completion, signing and witnessing of the ketuvah, or
marriage contract. |
|
Bedekin - After
the signing of the ketuvah, which is usually
accompanied by some light snacks and some hard liquor
for the traditional lechaims (the Jewish salute when
drinking, which means, "to life!"), the groom does the
bedekin, or "veiling." |
|
Chuppah - The
next stage is known as the chuppah, or "canopy." The
chuppah is a embroidered cloth stretched or supported
over four poles, and is often carried by attendants to
the location where the ceremony will take place. It is
meant to symbolize the home which the couple will
build together. Embroidered cloth usually used is a
tallit. |
|
Kiddushin - The
groom, now takes a plain gold ring and places it on
the finger of the bride, and recites in the presence
of two witnesses, "Behold you are sanctified
(betrothed) to me with this ring, according to the Law
of Moses and Israel." |
|
Sheva Brachos - After this, the sheva brachos,
or seven blessings, are recited, either by one Rabbi,
or at many weddings a different blessing is given to
various people the families wish to honor. |
|
Cheder yichud -
Now that the couple are married they are accompanied
by dancing guests to the cheder yichud, "the room of
privacy."
