Peru straw hat. Size is 59 cm or 7 3/8 US
Some friends have visited Peru and in the past, I had some contacts with a cooperative of braided women who had a small online market. I knew that in Catacaos, almost on the border with Ecuador, very similar hats as Montecristi, were produced (euphemism not to dislike the purists) the panama...- Daniele Tanto

Paglietta or Boater size 58 cm.
The "Paglietta" as we call this hat here in Italy is made of simple straw braids sewn together. It came in my collection few years ago with a very usual finish It was too weird for my head and its shape did not fit my melon. It stayed a few years watching the parades of felt hats, then I...- Daniele Tanto

French Hats and makers.
Alan, It is a rarity even if in the south of Italy some fifty years ago some hat or part of the cork hat was seen. Almost certainly the cork used here comes from Corsica or Sardinia which have been producing islands of this precious material for many years in the Mediterranean. Now the cork oak...- Daniele Tanto

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I have had this hat for two years. The straw cone arrived two years ago from Catacaos - Peru. Home of the straw hats in Peru, it is very beautiful. It was finished by Penumbra hat with my specifications, but I have never worn it. Maybe it's too massive for my taste Today I took some pictures...- Daniele Tanto

Worried about everyone here.......
I could have answered this question some time ago, but I didn't because it was like speaking from a very small, tiny island in a sea of apprehension. Not that I wasn't worried, but I waited when the heavy atmosphere of total closure in Italy slightly melted. Everyone has lost something in this...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Simon thank you for your appreciation. I also want to tell you that in my personal search for felt, I often use the Italian vintage market as a source. This and two other hats come from a lot bought a few years ago, as a delight, on a hot summer day. I had no idea what would come to me. Three...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
So Simon let's start from the beginning. The color is very beautiful, the shape too. Seeing the label on paper would help to understand. The ribbon and bow appear to have been replaced, but it is only a hypothesis. The color itself, or very similar, of the ribbon, was put on a hat which I had...- Daniele Tanto
