Jack Abramoff’s hat IS a Bencraft Borsalino!

The Hill:

In a profile of ascendant Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in the Jewish Forward newspaper last week, the paper reprised part of a story it broke three years ago on the saga of a sandwich named after Cantor at Stacks, the short-lived kosher deli owned by Jack Abramoff.
At a January 2003 fundraiser for Cantor, who had just become chief deputy whip, Abramoff unveiled the Eric Cantor sandwich, ?a tuna-based stacker,? which, lamentably, was ?not quite [the] power lunch befitting? the only Jewish Republican in the House……So now we know what Larry David and Eric Cantor have in common.
On a related note, the mystery of Abramoff?s gangster-like hat is now solved. The Forward reports that Abramoff purchased the hat from Bencraft Hatters, ?a Brooklyn shop that caters largely to Orthodox Jews. The hat in question, a Como II fedora made by Borsalino, retails on the Bencraft Web site for $200.?
