A walk before the flood. Announced by tiny drops of water carried by the wind.
I had time to walk until the water went down.

It is rare to find hats branded only with the name "John Valtz" which I suspect is a pseudonym given the location of the hat shop in the photograph posted by Stefan. As can be seen from the image, this is a humble farmhouse in the Cervo valley, while the Grosso&Valtz headquarters has more the...
I have two custom made hats and some restored ones.
Very little of what I have accumulated in ready-made hats over the past fifteen years.

I resume publishing Flechet's trio, strictly in grey, each with its own variations.
This has a blue background in the color of the felt which is particularly noticeable in the shade.
It is certainly the most "modern" of the Flechets of this group.
The felt is very soft and malleable even if...
As always, a ranking in order of preferences.
The Borsalino Misto Salvia is a marvel.
The Mossant pure elegance and I'm curious to see the Gracia Velor in full, considering that I've been hanging around velour for a while
Nice find Marcel. The origins of the hat marked Gelot is a little bit complicate. The tag of size is Panizza, the only Italian manufacture able in those year to made velour. The paper label is Borsalino, so take tour own conclusione
Today for a gray and windy day I chose a French hat from the 1950s, perhaps it is from the late 1940s, but in any case it has a very elegant appearance and can be seen from the finishes.
It is part of a trio of Flechets who are all grey, but none of them are the same.
Flechet de Luxe - Super...
Thank you for your likes on the hats shown these last few days.
To keep wearing hats, considering that I don't often go to the source of supply, I brought home a box full of "forgets" :)
Today a Misto Borsalino. Sold in my town a few years ago.

Three and a half days in Rome and in other cities of art, Firenze and Venezia, is equivalent to the fluttering of eyelashes.
I think it is appropriate for you to dedicate yourself to the topics that interest you most in the time between one tourist visit and another. The center of Rome is not...
The list of shops in the cities you will visit is indicative for finding hats.
Keep in mind that you will find average hats and many below average because in Italy the hat as a fashion accessory has disappeared for at least forty years.
If you're lucky, you might find some interesting...
Have a good trip to Italy, first of all.
The three cities you have chosen are the most visited and touristy in Italy, therefore you will find goods, restaurants and much of the offer aimed at tourists.
I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations of finding used hat shops, but there are very few...
