G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936
I confess that I have let go of a lot of bowler hats in this period, I hope not to sadden FL friends in love with this hat. Some were interesting, but the often small size or the exaggerated price kept me away from them. This bowler hat has two features that attracted me. It is a G.B...- Daniele Tanto

Italian brands hats
In my rarefied presence on FL I have a few hats to show you Guerra 1855 is one of the less present brands on the vintage Italian hat market. Active until today, the company had until a few years ago a website on which to see the production, now it seems to have vanished. I have a few hats...- Daniele Tanto

French Hats and makers.
Laubin Grand Luxe Chiné Loden fedora in the color Corneille is another piece that confirms, at least in my opinion, how connected French hat manufacturers were at a certain point in their history. The variety of felt and its color can be found, with minimal variations, in the Flechet and Tirard...- Daniele Tanto

PANIZZA paparazzi
First of all it must be said that it is one of those Panizza to remember, knowing the variability in the quality of the producer of Lake Maggiore. "Castorino" certainly refers to the finish of the felt and the "vents" in a velour hat denote its commercialization in a warm region such as Sicily...- Daniele Tanto

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
You're absolutely right Stefan, but when it comes to Italian and French hats it is always difficult to find the best. The quality is very high and if we then add some other European producers we begin to break down ... I leave aside the American production because I do not know it, mind you- Daniele Tanto

Stefan, Barbisio as others many Italian hats producers had a large market in South America where this type of hats were so "fashionable" in the past. This is the main reason of the "Italian western" or better "Spaghetti western hat" :)- Daniele Tanto

Books About 20th Century Men's Hats?
Yes Stefan, they are difficult to find. I encountered some others volumes, but they are too much expensive even if I offered a "nice" amount of euros for the whole lot. They are the most deep view in the Italian hatters way of work and life.- Daniele Tanto

After a rainy day, the cold spring broke out with strong winds and constantly moving clouds. For the occasion I dusted off a Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore in a "rare" color. Called by Borsalino "Spago - Twine" and with a definition "Cocisan" as a model. I like it a lot even if when I...- Daniele Tanto

Books About 20th Century Men's Hats?
I agree with Stefan on the advice, very difficult to fully implement, to read Longoni's book dedicated to Italian hatters. They were a large workforce within the Italian economy from the early nineteenth century to the seventies of the last century. Organized in trade unions and very independent...- Daniele Tanto

Thanks Bob. The hills on my back are called San Mattia because a tiny village is there as many Austrian fortress made between 1840 and 1860. Thanks Stefan. Tonak made every year, in winter collection, a hat or two of first quality in felt and finishes. Seee here...- Daniele Tanto

The silver-colored felt is gorgeous with an "antelope" finish and matching ribbon as well as the hem of the brims .Full spring day in eastern...- Daniele Tanto

I took a few days off from the hats and surroundings. Today the wisteria is the protagonist because it is in bloom. Planted in the corner of this Art Nouveau house in 1912 (architect Ettore Fagiuoli https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettore_Fagiuoli) it has resisted until now. Two years ago he...- Daniele Tanto

I took a few days off from the daily hat fair, focusing more on what has come to me in recent days from the domestic market. Today, first day of spring, I come back with a velour hat. It was made in Italy in Merano by Matthias Hutter with the typical Tyrolean finish and a cord as a hatband...- Daniele Tanto
