Brent thanks for your appreciation, the Barbisio's color is a bit bold, but fantastic as a whole and then the Barbisio have a unique silhouette.
Stefan, I know your love for the Barbisio family that, as you well know, we share, I also know your aversion to the color of Dijon mustard
Thanks...
The components of Italian hats were often of good quality, but the plus was the processing of the felt and above all in the finishes. This was 90% produced by the Cappellificio Cervo near Biella, north west Italy which still exists, but stopped after the recent acquisition by the Zegna group...
Fourth episode of the Italian hat orphanage.
Here we have one of the "mysteries" of this find.
The hat has a beautiful felt, "silky" like some French Thibets from the 1930s that I recently found
The indications on who could have produced it are scarce, if not the lining bears clearly visible...

Steve, some of the hats we will see shortly have a wool content in the felt that feels good to the touch. These two are different, the brown one is a heather felt, light and soft, the stitching on the sides seems to be made to support the crown. It is a hat that has good quality. Black has a...
Second episode of the orphanage of Italian hats.
I will pay Stefan the royalties by sending him the hats that are in the Italian warehouse.
I thought that this and the brown one are from the same manufacturer for the shape, components and some construction details. Maybe I was misled by the "La...

I took it from Stefan who gave me the precise idea about this latest rescue of Italian hats destined for a worse fate, arrived since today in a very good shape, they are New/Old stock
We start the presentation with two hats that look like they...

To honor the thread dedicated to the state of health of the market for old or vintage hats, whatever you prefer, I am showing you an interesting find. They were found inside a house, bought complete with furniture and everything a house could hold and put up for sale as a lot. I bought them...
Very, very nice Borsalino Bill
Your understanding of the label is right
Maybe the ribbon was replaced, but you'll be sure when it will be in your hands
I thank you for quoting me directly and all those who enjoyed reading my thoughts.
I believe that the way of participating on FL has changed a lot.
The reasons are many and some have been well highlighted by those who wrote before and after me. I want to add that I notice little curiosity...
This is a topic that interests me and touches closely. I have thought about it a lot in recent months and have decided not to sell hats here anymore. I'm sorry, but too few requests, perhaps also due to transport costs from Europe, but above all a lack of interest. I also recognize that the hats...
Bravissimo Steve! Grazie!
I said I had already seen the AF or FA mark. It is in a couple of hats (homburg or diplomatique) that I have from Antonin France that today I brought out of their lair to compare them. This one is much older than at least twenty years, but even the ones I have who are...
Steve thanks.
It arrives from France and I'm a little bit confused about the maker.
I think I have just see this brand, but I don't remember where and when
Maybe in the next days I will remember
