Maybe @Daniele Tanto knows this?I acquired this hat at an estate sale and wondered if anyone could give me more information about the hat. I believe it is fur felt based on the softness and that it was made prior to the factory closing in Ghiffa in 1981. The sweatband is leather and the hat band is scrunched a bit. I don't know if that was intentional. View attachment 181941 View attachment 181942 View attachment 181943
It is not very easy to know when the hat was made, also because Panizza Royal and Panizza President were the most used brands at the end of the disposal of the Ghiffa plant. A photo of the label under the sweatband could help. No, the ribbon is to be fixed and is not intentionally scrounched, the hat has only been badly preserved.I acquired this hat at an estate sale and wondered if anyone could give me more information about the hat.

Thank you, the information is helpful. I only paid $4 for the hat.It is not very easy to know when the hat was made, also because Panizza Royal and Panizza President were the most used brands at the end of the disposal of the Ghiffa plant.

No. Wet the hat band with iced water wit a little sponge and not so much. Do it with small part of the hat band, have patiencePellie, do you think if I steam the hat band it will flatten out?
This was the other half of the trade. This one was not damaged on the trip.
Two great additions, Panos. Panizza can be a bit hit and miss, but that Foulard is a super hat and the Sportman looks to be a winner as well.Thought to post these ones here and revive this thread.

Color Anguria is a dark green with brown undertones finished with short melusine. Mid weight felt. Ribbon, as the name indicates, is fantastic. View attachment 215139 View attachment 215138
Brim shape is a work in progress, I want an upbrim/pensil curl look for this one View attachment 215140 Best,

Daniele, This is a real beauty! Great colors -> felt and ribbon combo. The felt looks fantastic -> finish, hand. Also really like the form.I picked up some hats that are interesting to me even if not my size. I always plan to let it go then when I see some quality specimens I fall back into original sin
Panizza size 5 or 57 centimeters in Europe, 7 in the States. Internal measurements are 19.5x16 centimetres
A production of the Panizza factory is the historical one so we are before the end of the Seventies.
The hat is a magnificent gray color, Asbesto, with the ribbon, also in gray, Lapis, that goes in slight contrast with the felt.
The felt is of medium consistency, unlined with the "Panizza" brand on the bottom of the crown
Oddly, no definition of the quality of the hat and no indication of where it was for sale
The hat is light and very malleable in a special color combination.
These are the measurements: the brims are 6.5 cm, the ribbon 3.5 cm. and the crown is at the lowest point 10 cm.
A magnificent example of Italian headwear
Thanks Steve, this Panizza is an outsider in the classic Panizza production.Daniele, This is a real beauty! Great colors -> felt and ribbon combo. The felt looks fantastic -> finish, hand. Also really like the form.
That is a fantastic hat, Daniele. Love the colour and the slightly lighter ribbon. Is there no size label inside it? Judging by the measurements it's more like a 56 (o, dear).I picked up some hats that are interesting to me even if not my size.

Daniele, Super! It's really sharp looking. The felt looks (color, finish) great.I finally found a hat of this shape that somewhere carried the name given by the Italian youths of the 1950s and early 1960s: Mambo!
I'm dancing when I took the picture
One of them, my gym buddy, brought me a photo of him a few years ago wearing a hat very similar to this one.
Panizza "Mambo" size 58cm or 7 1/4 in the US with a back bow. Inside measurements are:20x16.5 centimeters
The hat is in good condition with some barely visible moth bites and a felt that is reborn after a steam bath with a brush.
The color is a gray called by Panizza "Opale" with a black belt with a small bow on the back.
The felt is of medium consistency and very solid in its shape. It was sold in Italy on the bank of river Po.
The hat unlined has a branded insert at the bottom of the crown
These are the measures: brims at 5.5 cm, the crown is at 9 cm. the lowest point and the ribbon is 5cm.
An excellent example of Italian hat from the 1950s
