Thanks a lot. It is now difficult to find on the Italian and European market productions that have some touch of originality. I was lucky, "La Famigliare" it is not a big Italian hats producers name, but what I found is always well done.
Dear Charlie, it has not been an easy year health-wise...
n my life as a convalescent waiting to find my best shape, I indulge in some purchases of hats that have, for me, some interest.

The size is a perfect 59 and its name is "Bolivar".

A weekend of hats gathered in two sunny days and unseasonal temperatures.
Saturday was the turn of the black Habig - Wien.
Homburg with extremely high quality felt. Soft and with a peachy surface to the touch.
Well preserved, made in the Fifties,despite the years it kept me company with a...
A few small considerations on these hats happily donated to Stefan.
He has been and perhaps will be again, depending on our mutual addictions, my biggest hat exchanger in the FL universe.
The contacts between Veneto and the Netherlands have been fruitful and full of satisfaction for both of...
It is a really nice hat. Felt is a "Misto" (fur+wool) to obtain this texture with nap

The companion of the Guerra 1855 in black
Brasiliano is sometimes associated with Borsalino, but in my opinion is a trademark which used subcontractors to put Italian hats on the market that covered sectors not coveted by large producers.
It's difficult to say who the real manufacturer is, but...
The market is always open with my sweet disappointment :)
A couple bought some weekd ago with bad pictures and a "special" offer of the seller
