Who saw the Mishpacha article on the boycott? There were several interesting points, including one hat store employee’s take that Borsalino can’t charge less based on their production costs in Italy.
Also, someone claimed that Pierre Cardin House has been working on a fedora for the frum community, and Pesach time in E.Y. and Sukkos time in the U.S. will begin selling a very high quality hat at a lower cost than Borsalino.
