I'm very proud to say that I'm now also a member of the Panizza Paparazzi.

This is the "Cosenza" model in their so-called Supreme Quality. The crown is reasonably soft (but not as soft as my Borsa or Akubra), but the brim is the stiffest that I have ever come across, so this must have had special Treatment. The best bit is that I finally found a hat in size 54, so can wear it without packing or having sweatband modifications.

Very nice Ghost Rider. Looks like a tall crown on that one!

I think that might be due to camera perspective.

Great to see a new Panniza. They are now made by Cappellificio Falcus.

Thanks for that - I didn't know. Their website shows that they also make Hamilton hats (if I've understood correctly). Mutinelli also had some of these in stock (but not in my size)

Yes it appears that way. I don't know anything about Cappellificio Falcus Srl other that what is on their website. I will check with someone that might know something. I am especially interested to know if they make their own felt.

Ghost Rider you can improve directly in Ravenna with Roberto Manzoni your collection of vintage Panizza in your size (54 cm) or in 55 cm, they have more. Barbisio e Borsalino too!
You have to pay attention to your wallet :rolleyes:

Yes vintage (old factory) Panniza is the way to go. There are amazing vintage hats available in small sizes (54-55cm). My friend said Falcus quality is ok for the price point. Doesn't think they make their own felt but can't say for sure.
