Bombetta Qualità Superiore. Size 7 US or 5 French. European 57 cm.
The "bombetta" is a "Misto" felt of fur and wool.
It is called "M Favaro" as you can see in the enclosed images of the inside of the hat. "Rizzo" is the type. Ribbon is "Nera"
It is a slightly "heather" felt bowler, the first I saw in my life
The size marked on the sweatband is 7, I, with some doubts, bought it thinking a 61 centimeters, but at the opening of the package this is the result
The measurements are: crown is at 12 cm. curled brim at 5,5 cm and the ribbon is 3 cm
The felt, in a medium grey, is mixed with fur and wool with a “heather” look. It weight 161 grams
It was sold in Milan
My opinion on its age is it was made before the WWII
I said this from the paper label with size written with fountain pen, lining and finishing
Embossed golden stamps on the sweatband
Size tag and the interior bow
A lucky find for sure, but I wish it was more my size!
