A new arrival, brought about by my fondness for Cappellificio Cervo. Yes, that's right.
Cervo Akron Lux 6 bis.jpg

Whenever a hat from that brand appears in my size, I always have a small, soft spot in my heart.
This one has one of my favorite colors in the hat world. Cervo size 60, recently made, about twenty years ago.

The felt reminds me of those used by Tonak for their "shiny" blue color. I'll have to take a look at my blue Tonaks to see if my hunch is correct.

The hat has a manufacturing label that reads: Akron Lux and a few numbers.
Its shape recalls that of the hats worn by Italian brigands in the second half of the 19th century.
Wide brims and a low crown. The felt is beautiful, malleable, and often changes color.

I'm always interested, even on Monday mornings, in your hats that speak to me.

I wish we had more of those appear here in the States. I have one older and one newer (relatively speaking - newest is over 20 y.o.), but they are very nice and those colors are fantastic.
Jeff, I understand you, but never before have there been such a magnificence of small sizes on the Italian market.
I'm adding them to my wish list to feel good in my relentless search.
Yes, I know it's back despite the various treatments :)
Anyway, I'll let you know the contents of the boxes of hats for sale in your size.

A strong statement in a rich color... nice work to find an outfit to complement it so well.

Another brown Borsalino Loduela (thin ribbon western style hat) - also with a color name (monlov) that defies translation. This version of the Borsalino manufacturing tag with logo and color border is an early one that might have origins back before the Second World War, though I am quite sure this was sold at Wanamaker's after the war's end.
