I take one and it goes for all those published after my first praise of your wool hats, Steve.
Lots of praise and applause is added for others and those you will post.
Super!
What can I say more than the photographs?
Two splendid hats for my taste and yet another demonstration of how superb hats can be made with wool
Bravissimo Steve in find and rescue these historic hats
From another messy and poorly described lot comes this Cervo
It has the color and finish of a Tyrolean hat with the braided cord and a shape not exactly in the tradition
Putting it back in order I noticed that the felt band at the base of the crown has a very slight darker color, as if it had...

Grazie Stefan! This barbisio is wonderful in its semplicity
I always wonder when I buy some hats for love if I'm too much in love with some that are worth it, then they come and I'm very happy
Joe thanks.
The lady who sold it to me asked me to keep it with care or to sell it to people who could appreciate it. To my question about the reasons for the request she told me the story a little more complex than I have summarized. To be precise, the Barbisio was the first adult gift the...
In this period I bought a series of hats for various reasons, this and others for their beauty, knowing full well I would never have worn them, but perhaps I would have made some loungers happy, others because they were in interesting lots and some because they were my size

An excellent row of Borsalinos in terms of quality and years of production (50s and 60s)
Very oriented in terms of shape and finishes to the US market, but this does not mean that they are a splendid collection.
Complimenti!
Mike in Rome...where in Rome?
