Welcome to the FL Oldschool. With a moniker like that, you'll fit right in

Nice way to check in with that OR btw.

Welcome to the club, @oldschool

Great 1960s Open Road. It’s a classic that never goes out of style.

Wear it in good health Randy! It's one of those "must see in person" color combos. Photos don't do it justice.

Yes sir. If I were up for a custom fedora right now, I'd have to give this color combo a try!

This is no way to send a Borsalino from ca. 1940s




And definitely no way to send a G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro & Co



However, some steam and tlc will bring them both back to life.

For the series Oddities Made Hat: a Barbisio in sculpted felt

This strange felt hat and its trimming has a love story to tell. I was fascinated by its peculiarity and the seller told me her story

It belonged to the grandfather of the person who sold it to me and had been given to him by his father when he came to northern Italy to work. Ours, then a boy, came from Naples and the Barbisio served to cover him from the rain and mists

He was forgotten on the train at the Naples station and a girl picked it up and brought him back to the young man. After some time they got married

This is the story told to me of this Barbisio Classic size 59 cm. or 7/8 US

The felt color is " Muschio - Moss" the finish is "Talpa Impermeabile - Waterproof Taupe"

These are the measurements: the brim is 4.8 cm, the fancy ribbon is 4 cm and the fully open crown is 14 cm.

This is one of the hats that certainly has its own character, then each of us will decide whether it's beautiful or weird.

Ten lashes for mishandling each. Good thing we have steam.

Wow, those are very cool, Brent. Lovely panama (and it shows in the original price).

In this period I bought a series of hats for various reasons, this and others for their beauty, knowing full well I would never have worn them, but perhaps I would have made some loungers happy, others because they were in interesting lots and some because they were my size

Barbisio unlined without any manufacturing label, size 57-58 centimeters or 7 1/8 - 7 1/4.

The sweatband is in satin and the felt is another splendid blue from Barbisio


I was lucky this fall I found two in my size in different blue and felts and this one which is different in felt finish and ribbon

The measures of this beauty: the brims are 6cm finished with a double stitched edge, the felt ribbon is 1.5cm and the open crown is 14cm.

I honestly wish it was my size, it isn't, so I hope it finds a new home

I have one very similar in a more wide size, I have to find it to compare
