Day with rain forecast for late afternoon, I have plenty of time to wear a Panizza De Luxe made in the last part of the historical production.
The hat has all the signs of the decadence of Italian hat making in the late seventies and early eighties.
The lining is glued and it was a...
Today I'm quick to choose. Having returned from a long walk under a scorching sun, I have the right sight to proclaim the top three on the weekly podium
It is always difficult for some French brands to say with certainty whether they produced their own hats or were supplied by high-class subcontractors as in the explicit case of Sools which used the best brands on the market for its hats. Gelot produced some of his hats, others were outsourced...
Second homburg or diplomatique made in France arrived in the past days.
Quite rare to find a Gelot, even less so of this color. Dark gray with blue highlights.

The curled brims are 5...

Three months ago I told you about this lobbia Barbisio, then I forgot about it.
Now, thanks to the rain cooling Northern Italy, I thought I'd complete the series.
I have my own ranking of the homburgs or lobbie produced in Italy and every time I handle one of my favorites the ranking changes...
