A trip in the collection
I have reached the end of my census and today I dealt with heart problems: those hats that I am almost sure I will hardly find in the future, so well preserved and in wearable sizes. Others are on the table awaiting the judgment of the heart, however I have been inflexible, especially with those...- Daniele Tanto

A trip in the collection
Dear Stefano, I thank you and all those who expressed their consent and words for the journey into my collection. I stayed away from the hats for a couple of months and got to think without seeing the loved ones, so I could put some emotional distance. When I started visiting their house again...- Daniele Tanto

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
The passion for blue hats remains unchanged even when I decide that this will certainly be the last and then... a dark blue, hairy and well-made appears on the market, how can you say no, despite my intentions. Flechet De Luxe, size 59 or 7 3/8 in the USA. Quality "Juventus 30" and the color...- Daniele Tanto

A trip in the collection
Gray day during the collection trip. Today there was the family division. Borsalinos on one side, Barbisio on another and Panizza on yet another. Tomorrow it will be the turn of the smaller groups and the "affairs of the heart", those hats for which it is difficult to decide the fate...- Daniele Tanto

A trip in the collection
In these months of little mobility due to age limits :) I have spent a long time wandering around my hat collection. I decided last year to sell part, a good half I would say, of my collection which had grown a bit too much. Now I have regained control of the situation and I have decided that...- Daniele Tanto

The Bowler or Derby Hat
My problematic relationship with bowler hats continues. I honestly have to say that when I saw it on sale I had no doubts despite the size and my little love for this type of hat. I have some doubts about its origin because it is a masterfully made bowler hat despite having the lining with...- Daniele Tanto

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
There is a variation in the weather in Italy these days: clouds with sun in the morning and flashes of rain in the afternoon. On a break I wore this glorious Tonak My first "modern" purchase in the honored Huckel heritage. It is a modern velour in the magical wake of the Huckel. The Tonak...- Daniele Tanto

Borsalino fedora, qualita supremore?
I'm sorry about the delusion. The history of Borsalino felts is complex because Italy is not rich in furs to use as felt. Sheep - Rabbits - Hares, from this trio of not very noble furs, Borsalino, Barbisio, Panizza, Vanzina and the other Italian hatters created their felts. Poverty sometimes...- Daniele Tanto

Borsalino fedora, qualita supremore?
"In the first decades of the last century, many families in the Po Valley chose to dedicate themselves to the breeding of a rodent native to southern Argentina: the nutria (Myocastor Coypus). The so-called "castorino - beavers" were bred for fur, but between the 70s and 80s the market suffered a...- Daniele Tanto

Borsalino fedora, qualita supremore?
0,000 the amount of beaver fur unless there is, on the sweatband or on the lining, the word "Castoro" or "Beaver"- Daniele Tanto

This hat is on my head for John's (moehawk) commitment and generosity. Vimenet - made in Belgium, so says the stamping inside the crown, sold by Baskin in the US. Something makes me think that the very light felt is, due to its color and consistency, of French origin, considering that I have...- Daniele Tanto

Above average heat these days in the north east of Italy. Some panamas and straws came out of the closets. This morning only in the early hours of the morning I wore this hat. "Superiore" "Vera Lepre" size 59 or 7 3/8 in the US with low crown and generous brims. It has a felt with a...- Daniele Tanto

French Hats and makers.
John, there are many mysteries in European hat making where retailers have branded hats made by large, medium and small hat makers as their own. Some like Sools have declared provenance, others have branded and sold them as their own. In Italy I found some examples in some Borsalinos that have...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I made the same reasoning about the appearance of the hat and the discarded paper label. I don't want to seem fussy, but it seems to me like a reconstruction of a Borsalino at a certain point in his life. The wide hem on the brims is the feature that seems least similar to the Borsalino finishes...- Daniele Tanto
