The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Max, my presumption is a client in Parma, where it was sold, saw this kind of hat and asked to his shop to have one. Borsalino sent three or four of these hats type to reach a minimun and the shop did the rest. It is not a common hat in the north Italy. To have a bespoke Borsalino you can...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
It may be that Borsalino managed to ship the goods to Eastern Europe until 1942, then I think it was very difficult. The two Homburgs I have from the same seller are very similar, especially one to Max's. I must say that their construction is a bit "heavy" for Borsalino hats of the period, but...- Daniele Tanto

You know Matt, I continue to read and see written that the Borsalino is from the 50s as if there was a special category of Borsalino made in those years that I am wary of the abused term Borsalino Fifties. Having said that and considering your question about molds within the sweatband, my...- Daniele Tanto

Post New Hats Here!
Every now and then my passion for homburg or diplomatique returns, in this case, for a black one I don't have many variations of this type of hat in black in my collection: too seen. I kept the ones who cross the threshold of beauty for my taste. This Flechet tempted me and so here it is...- Daniele Tanto

Post New Hats Here!
The second hat of the day is a classic that cannot be more classic. A Barbisio production of the seventies or perhaps the sixties in a combination of colors seen several times in Italy, as well as the shape and proportions. Barbisio Classic, Qualità Extra Extra size 59 centimeters, but more a...- Daniele Tanto

Dear Matt, your "Scandinavian" homburg is a product certainly made for those who did not have the money to buy a Borsalino or equivalent, so it is evident to be of a lower class. As I wrote, the hat was made in Monza (personal opinion), the largest center of subcontractors in the world for the...- Daniele Tanto

Ciao Matt, immediately the answer to your questions and then a small historical-economic excursus on the hat production in its golden years. The label reminds me a lot of some Italian labels used by Borsalino and Vanzina for third party productions, but the shape is that of the homburg and the...- Daniele Tanto

Matt, maybe I'm wrong, but this homburg seems made in Italy despite all the "Scandinavian" details :)- Daniele Tanto
