A degree thesis dedicated to Borsalino. It is an economic history essay presented as a dissertation at the London Schools of Economys.

Another hat formed by machines as theme of the week This is a wonderful example of preformed and fairly well finished felt with a "suede" finish from the historic Panizza - Ghiffa factory on Lago Maggiore. They are, like the others presented in the theme of the week, facing hats that are...- Daniele Tanto

The Italian hat producers, manufacturers and exporters of the greatest number of hats in the world trade of this product, found themselves in a decade to pay the economic and social change in the tastes of a generation and, almost all of their glory days ended in unison.

Week dedicated to hats formed by machines. In the tours with Steve in the Italian headwear we have seen several of these machines, some from before the Second World War and curiously it is difficult to find in good condition hats, already shaped, from that era They were medium and low priced...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Adrian, despite the rare color and the words "Qualità Aquila", the Borsalino in question is one of the marketing hits of the Casa di Alessandria. Clearly the quality of the felt designated by the mention Qualità Aquila is used here as a "plus" to differentiate the product and the three stars as...- Daniele Tanto

Charlie, I too have a precise memory of that day from far away. The time zone acted as a shield on the evening of 22nd November because I went to bed early, like all ten-year-old children in the last class of the elementary school. Something had leaked in the Italian TV programs (not in my...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Ciao Adrian, first question: it was sold in Italy or outside? Second question: it is possible havea some pictures of the interior and exterior plus measurements? Thanks. I think it will help. "Mombasa" is a rare color seen here. From the paper label it seems not so old. Any other details helps...- Daniele Tanto

Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter
Brent, I really like the hat. The combination of the colors of the felt and the ribbons, the shape and the proportions and it suits you very well. There are some details that, personally, I don't like, but it's just personal taste. A few notes: quality grosgrain is difficult to find...- Daniele Tanto

The week of autumn colors is over, in reality the hats stuck in a container are finished. I selected another one and thought I'd call this week, as my friend Steve says, the one with pre-shaped hats (machine formed hat) I have seen some horrible and also beautiful ones. European industry has...- Daniele Tanto

Size is...- Daniele Tanto

Eric, a woolen cap as it has always been since childhood, even if the winters have changed a lot in the last twenty years. Much more lovable, indeed, than autumns that last until spring. When the days are cold, very few in recent years, and I walk to the office early in the morning I have caps...- Daniele Tanto

Panizza Special size 59 cm. or 7 3/8 US arrived new from Merano, M. Hutter headwear. The felt is named "Cognac"...- Daniele Tanto

The autumn sky when it is overcast and will remain for days looks like this. The color is very close to this "differently called" Borsalino felt in "Bismuto" Charles Hatters High Quality size 60 cm. or 7 1/2 US, probably built in the Vanzina factory in Pavia. The paper label is the same as...- Daniele Tanto

It is certain that dark green is a color that stands out in autumn, especially for the evergreens that are very present here in the North Italy Today with a sun, first shy, then bright, I wore a Panizza made on the Lago Maggiore Panizza Special size 59.
