Many thanks Steve for your positive comment on the two French bowler hats, coming from you that you are a connoisseur of this kind of hats is something that enriches the palmares of these two creations of the French golden age hats!
Thanks Bowen!
Your question is the same one that I asked myself and I have not given myself a definitive answer. Both bowler are of ancient "workmanship". You can see from many details: they are light, have the crown slightly flared downwards and the wings are very curled. As I wrote they are...
Often the hats not in my size that I buy are the ones I want, this one in particular
Barbisio Classic size 5 or 57 centimeters, 7 in the United States. The internal measurements are 19.5x16 centimeters
It is one of the most elegant hats I have found recently and among the first in my ranking...
I picked up some hats that are interesting to me even if not my size. I always plan to let it go then when I see some quality specimens I fall back into original sin :rolleyes:
Panizza size 5 or 57 centimeters in Europe, 7 in the States. Internal measurements are 19.5x16 centimetres

To keep company with the bowler hat Berteil, another piece of hat from years long gone by now
Also this very badly judged for the size, sold as a tight 57 cm.
Mossant size 6 or 59cm in Europe or 7 3/8 US. The internal measure is 20.5x17 cm.
The outside is in very good condition, the inside as...

Sometimes you have to be bold to have something special.
In this case, two bowler hats sold in Paris by a "brocante" who photographed them well, but the size was completely wrong.
Berteil size 7 1/8 or 58cm in Europe. The internal measure is 20x16 cm.
The exterior is in very good condition...

The theme, considering yesterday's success, is green hats with all due respect to Stefan:)
Today, on a warm day for the period and somewhat changeable, I chose a Borsalino for the walk to the studio
Borsalino Qualità Superiore size 6 or 59 cm. equivalent to a 7 3/8 in the US. The hat was...
Thanks Dave, me too I like the green, not all the variations, but some. I see your hats covered by snow, it is too much for my taste. Hope it is getting better
Thanks Jim. I have no ideas where the "Alexander" was made, but it seems far from English manufacturers. If you have some pictures of...
The history of this hat is bizarre, it was bought in a batch of junk that claimed to be antiques.
Nothing interesting, just three-hats looked noteworthy. A Panizza, a Barbisio and this Alexander Sport.
I only kept the hats, the rest were eliminated. Upon arrival, the hats had many problems...
Brent, I'm glad you like Fleur of Penumbra's works. She is a simple hatter with useful and very solid proposals, suitable for my tastes and of great quality
I thank you for your words that go directly to the hatters of the Barbisio factory who have challenged for years, on quality, a colossus like Borsalino and other fierce Italian competitors.
A sad consideration is that that magnificent world of hatters is almost entirely gone. However, do not...
Very variable day, rain in the morning, then pale sun, now gray clouds, you know it's winter.
Second episode dedicated to penumbra Hats in Netherlands.
The hat is an Italian felt with a peach finish arrived new and with a very usual shape.
Fleur put together her qualities and suggestions...
