Another hat happened by chance on the trunk of the wisteria to be photographed
Kindly reported by Stefan, I thought I'd buy it even if it's yet another example of a black homburg of which I have a fairly large collection
I was attracted by the name of the Austrian manufacturer and its high...

Every now and then I come across hats very rare on the Italian market
Guerra 1855 is an Italian brand that had its own space in the international market until a few years ago, producing hats of excellent workmanship, but very little present in Italy
I have seen many more on the French market...

Very nice Borsalino Panos. Plumbeo is an adjective to indicate something that has the color of lead. The phrase "Cielo plumbeo" is often used in Italian. Fabrizi is a shop in Rome, a tourist city par excellence and "Leo" was a sub-brand used to give "uniqueness" to the Borsalinos sold there...
Arrived on the last working day of the last year, went into open air storage and then tidied up and put on.
Bantam Creazioni Speciali Cervo size 60 cm.. No indication of color or model
I'm almost certain it is one of the last high end productions of Cappellificio Cervo
The felt is...
The last chapter concerns the "Unpublished"
Some were officially photographed, others arrived two days ago and, considering the low light, photographed on the terrace of the house

Borsalino "Cafro" 59cm

Fifth chapter is for everything else found and bought this year.
There are some small gems of both national and foreign hats.
These are the gambles that are the salt in the hat hunt

G.B Borsalino fu Lazzaro 58cm in US Steve collection
Guerra 1855 59cm
Huckel Durit 59cm...
Fourth chapter is for Panizza. Increasingly difficult to find in his creations before 1980, the closing date of the factory on Lake Maggiore. The current market is infested with poor quality hats made in the last twenty years. When I find a decent one and in my size I certainly buy it
The third chapter is dedicated to the large Borsalino family, certainly the most present on the vintage market in Italy. There are hats of all types, shapes, colors. The production put on the market goes from the 20-30s up to the present day. There is an inflation of models and colors in which...
The second post post is for the Cappellificio Cervo shown here on FL.
Difficult to find more than Barbisio, Cervo hats can be showed "masked" as Barbisio, sometimes Borsalino and in other brands having been the producer of Sagliano the main subcontractor and certainly the most capable in...
I play the game with fun and carefully gathered the hats bought in 2022. There were few compared to other years.
I set myself some rules: buy hats of my size (59 and 60 centimeters, sometimes even a few 58 can be fine, it depends on the manufacturer). I let go of all this in other sizes, except...
Thanks Stefan and Joe. The Borsalino Amiata has a particular color, I don't know why and a "special ribbon, but it is too wide for my head.
An unusual event :)
Hello All...
I need to post an addendum to my last post here. I may have misquoted someone at Lock & co. I have a sincere affection for their hats and I don't want to leave this topic this way.
I said their Men's fur felt fedoras were being made by Isesa in Spain now. Well I'm not sure if all...
A few days ago there was the last of the sun and I took the opportunity to wear this blue Barbisio.
It's certainly the shiniest of the blue felt Barbiso's I've bought in recent months and it's also my favorite
I am here outside the walls of Verona to the west and behind me you can see part...
