Thought you'd like this one. Thanks, Panos.All right, I'll pick this one!! Sools came to mind at first sight... Love it!!
That is one interestingly cool ribbon design, Stefan.It's been more than a month. That doesn't feel right. Picked this one up.
Cervo Bantam Gold. No label inside the hat, so unsure of the colour and unsure about the size. Sold to me as a size 57, but it's closer to a size 59 or 60. Overwelt brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. There was a folded newspaper inside the sweatband dated 1973. Could well be, but could also have been added later. What stands out on this one is the ribbon treatment. The felt continues up until the top of the narrow ribbon. No stitches to be seen on the outside from the sweatband. The narrow ribbon goes all the way round without a seam (at least I couldn't find it). Very nicely done. From the ribbon to the rest of the crown it looks stepped, almost as if the hat was made in two parts, which it isn't. Very cool design and superb execution. Weighs 120 grams.

Thanks, Steve. It was what made me go for this one.That is one interestingly cool ribbon design, Stefan.
Glad to see it in all its glory. I think it definitely ticks some boxes. Now keep that thing away from your moths!!!!I received this in a trade with Joe for a nice old Caxton. Vanzina Pavia in a gloriously green short napped velour.

The crown is 13 cm open, the brim is 6 cm. 130g. The felt is really high quality and in great shape, with a hand softer than anything in my collection.
Here's a shot in the sun to appreciate it's color.

Is there such a thing as glorious green? Beautiful looking felt and a nice shape to that Vanzina, John.I received this in a trade with Joe for a nice old Caxton. Vanzina Pavia in a gloriously green short napped velour.

Cool!Posted the backstory of the retailer last week, but finally came around the hat hat itself.
Super Panizza in a grey colour called lampo (lightning). Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Fairly sturdy felt that seems set in its ways, but can be convinced with some steam. Nice hand on it though. The liner is very nice as well. Very happy with this one.

Thanks, John. I was in doubt about this one, but suddenly it hit me...Cool!
That Lampo color makes me all tingly.
