I'm pretty sure all the pics are the seller's, except the one where I have it on.

Hückel Weilheim "Derby" possibly late 1950s. Great form and the felt finish is fantastic. Also near mint condition.

Stefan, Thank you. I also have a HW "Derby" in Gray.
More on the homburg front. This one came from a Dutch auction site and basically I chose it because of the low price and the nice looking liner.
"Perfect" homburg in black. Size 57 with the brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. This is an early woolfelt hat, with the basting stitches still in. Not lightweight by any standard with its 164 grams. Later homburg hats were not made of woolfelt (there are exceptions probably), but the label on the back of the sweatband has me thinking this is an older hat, mid to late thirties maybe. Made in Belgium (Bruxelles on the liner), but there are no labels inside the hat.

Found this one on Ebay Germany and ended up winning it before @Steinbockhase. Panizza hats can be a hit and miss affair and some of their later hats can show issues in sizing and finishing. Not this one; this is definitely a hit and a bullseye too.
Panizza Zeffiro in grey (called Marte on the label). Not as lightweight as I expected from a hat named after a wind (zephyr) with its 116 grams, but the shape and styling is really special. Bound brim at 6,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. The hand is superb and it dry-creases like nobody's business.
I'm going to need two posts for the pictures.

It even has Dr ST punched into the sweatband. I'm not a Dr by a long shot, but if this sweat imprints it on my forehead, people may start to believe it.
"Protetto dalle tarme con mitin" means protected against moths with Mitin.
No shortage of labels inside this hat.

You’re a Doctor of Hatology in my book Stefan!
Sweet Panizza!

Thanks, Brent. It does involve quite a bit of searching and legwork, but that's the thrill of the hunt. Came very close to your size with the Cavanagh.
By the looks of it, it's a brand name for some kind of chemical repellent. I have been googling the name, but came up empty.
Thank you, Bowen. The Panizza is a winner alright.

I had promised not to add new hats my collection, but a curiosity led me to acquire this Panizza, in the same time Steve showed a Mayser "Superbe" that is similar in color and shape
Panizza Sportsman size 59
The color is "Cognac" as per internal label
The felt has a peachy finish and is very soft
I really love this color of which I have another Panizza and the curiosity to see its twin live was great
I have another "Sportsman" model that speaks the same language as this one, short brim and velvety felt surface. The other is in black velvet with cord and very short brim
I believe it was one of Panizza's last marketing moves to adapt to the changed fashion style.
You can see it from the shape of this hat, which is a cross between a homburg and a coachman's hat
The quality is great in construction and materials
So here it is the Panizza Sportsman, a very hybrid hat in a fantastic color and finish

Borchert Berlin W. "Federleicht/Feather Light" possibly very early 1960s. The felt is light in weight with a very soft hand. This form and ribbon / bow work was popular in the late 1950s into the early 1960s. Based on the paper label format Borchert Berlin W. might have sourced this hat from Mayser.

Steve: I could definitely wear that hat and be proud. Cool hat. I have actually been wanting such a style lately. How tall is the crown in the front? Get's my Hat Of The Week award!

G. B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro probably sold in France
The lining is gone
therefore, not being there the stamp of the shop on the sweatband, I presume it comes from France because I bought it there
The felt is very soft, almost like velvet and I think there is a modest component of wool
What is very interesting is the shape, with the flat brim raised all over the perimeter and a huge pleated ribbon
For its shape and finish, see the printed logo of the two dogs with the hat in their mouth, it seems to be a product of the 1920s
The paper label is celled and the printed name is Paris, the rest are numbers written in pen or printed. The size seems to be 4 5/2 even if it does not exist in the French size. The internal measurements are 19x15,8 cm. so a 56 cm.
For completeness of information here are the hat measures: the brim measure 6.5 centimeters total and the open crown is 13 cm. the ribbon is 5 cm.
Itarrived with a hat box, poor conditions, made in cardboard and metal
