Post New Hats Here!

I can post later,

I'm curious to see the linear of the "british" hat made in Japan

The story of these two Lobbia (Homburg) hats is rooted in my curiosity and love for this particular style.

The first is a Borsalino "Grand Prix Paris"—a designation typically reserved for Borsalino hats that deviated from standard specifications, featuring unique, non-conformist details.

This Homburg has a ribbon trim along the brim in a subtle violet hue, along with a distinctive "rounded" shape—a rarity to come across—complemented by felt and trimmings that provide a striking contrast.

It is a size 6 (equivalent to a 59), but, as occasionally happens, it unfortunately does not fit my head.

The other Lobbia (Homburg) bears the label of Ravazzotti, from Genoa, on the linear.

I initially assumed he was an independent hatter, but it turns out to be a "reconstruction" of a hat with this same silhouette.

If I recall correctly, the dates of this refurbishment—which took place in the 1950s—are noted.

The original label is white with red borders; it looks familiar, though I cannot quite place the manufacturer.
It is a size 57 and has a perfect shape.

Feel free to write to me for any further details—color, measurements, or anything else you’d like to know about these two Lobbie (Homburg)
