Stefan, Fantastic!
Super Barbisio Extra lusso in a size 59 (USA 7 3/8; UK 7 1/4)
The hat arrived in nice conditions, but I want it perfect so it was carefully restore in Netherland by Penumbra hats
It is a hat that worth a restoration
The color felt is "Libia" and finish, short fur, is "Taupé"
Edged brim at 5,5cm and crown at 11 cm at the center dent with a contrasting ribbon
I think it's early sixties hat, just based on the liner that was the same in the fifties. I have some interesting information from the seller
Lining is really elegant and it was one of the top of its game
The felt has a "peachy" touch and takes any shape you want with no effort at all
Expendable with a good offer
Georg, the Barbisio needed a refresh. The sweatband had to be fixed, as well as the felt and the ribbon. Considering the quality of the Super Barbisio I decided for its complete restoration and cleaning. The result was magnificent, thanks to the qualities of Fleur from Penumbra Hats in the Netherlands. In the next few days I will put online other Borsalino restorations and other brands, after having long thought about what was worth working. This is one of the dilemmas that often happens when you have used hats in hand, I wrote something a few days ago about the quality of the Borsalino, but I'll be back in the next few days about this topic
Beautiful hat, Daniele, and by the looks of it indeed worthy of a refurbishment.

Looks like a wonderful hat, Adrian. Once you get a taste for Barbisio you'll want more of them. Congrats.
Absolutely gorgeous, Daniele. Great find. Barbisio at its finest.
Another fine example of Barbisio versatility, Daniele. And their finishing is indeed second to none.A memory of the Italian fifties
Barbisio "Silice" in size 59 or 7 3/8 US.
Telescopic shape and back bow. This kind of hats were called "Mambo" in Italy
This arrived, quite new, with some brothers that now lives in the Netherlands
The felt has a very nice touch. The dimensions are: raw brim at 6 cm. and low crown at 10 cm. the ribbon is 4 cm.
This is one of my favourite shade of grey made by Barbisio in the its heyday of production and the finishes are first class
So, for lovers of Barbisio and Italian hats, here is a rare specimen, even if the most spectacular one in this category lives in Stefan's house
