Post New Hats Here!
We are at the penultimate chapter of the series "Beautiful and impossible" This time the fault is mine and mine alone. On the wave of enthusiasm I bought two hats from a mute or rather uninformed seller. The discovery of the size put the writer in a bad mood and also Stefan who first...- Daniele Tanto

Post New Hats Here!
For me it is a great compliment when a hat is not flashy or extravagant, when it speaks a simple language and is recognizable without being too bold. Barbisio has always done, or almost, this with its production. The felt is not discolored or stained, but the moth holes were too noticeable, so...- Daniele Tanto

Post New Hats Here!
We introduce a Borsalino that has an unknown peculiarity in many hats of the house in Alessandria: its size is full, which is strange in the sizes of the Borsalino Borsalino Qualità Suprema size 6 1/2 or 60 and 7 1/2 in the US. The color of the felt is "Lupo - Wolf" one of the most difficult...- Daniele Tanto

BARBISIO Brothers
This Barbisio arrived, in worse conditions, together with the Panizza "For ever". For a reason of love for the brand of Sagliano I thought of restoring it even if the task for the hatter was difficult. The Barbisio had been attacked in two places by moths. Barbisio Qualità Extra size 60...- Daniele Tanto

PANIZZA paparazzi
Me too Panos. It seems a very high end hat for the standard of Panizza quality Brent thanks for your appreciation. I try everyday to rediscover hats buried in the past. Sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. This is an half satisfaction because this Panizza does not want stay on my head...- Daniele Tanto

I don't know if the windbreaker or the hat is older. However, today with an antique jacket and black Barbisio with pleated ribbon sold in Germany, I enjoyed the sunshine of a warm autumn. Here is a hat that comes from an exchange with the Netherlands. Great discovery of Stefan who has...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Steve, the Borsalino paper labels were and are, today even more than yesterday, a processing slip inside the factory, therefore they contain processing indications, some understandable such as the colors or the finish of the felt (see Zebù) but the name that here all refer to the type of hat is...- Daniele Tanto

"Buio - Dark" is the color. "Zebù" Bos taurus indicus an animal in Italian language, so is the finish of the surface felt. Cocisan is the type of hat- Daniele Tanto

PANIZZA paparazzi
Saving hats is sometimes a question of affection or curiosity. What you see today belongs to the second category. Panizza For Ever size 60cm and 7 1/2 in US. The size is perfect so it's big for my head, at least in this case. I have never seen a Panizza marked "For Ever", perhaps one passed...- Daniele Tanto
