Brüder Böhm made in license. A very nice black hat. Seller could not find a sizelabel, but thought it was a 59 or 60. So i took the gamble. When it came in the first thing i found was a sizelabel with 57 on it. Also 57 printed in the sweatband. How can you not see this i wonder :-( So or i try to stretch it or i will sell it. Nevertheless the quality of the hat is beautiful.

I don’t know if I ever posted my new variation on a Cambridge derby, by Buckaroo Hatters. Enjoy:

Also thrilled to have commissioned Brynley from BH Jones Hatmaker, to make this incredible tall black straw bowler with copper paisley underbrim!
Perfect gig hat for the warm humid months; and it just really stands out in the first place. I love the details like his logo and wax sealed envelopes!

Just picked up this Tonak from the bay— a place I spend less and less time these days because I think it seems to be going downhill for sellers and buyers, but was interested in the green velour up close and in person.

Great find. It's true, in general, about the 'bay, but you've still gotta check because every once in a while . . .

Two Italian hats from brands that are either unknown or rarely seen in these circles.
Let’s start with the more intriguing one: "Castorino"—both Stefan and Marcel own examples, though theirs are quite different from each other.
Stefan’s "Castorino" features a manufacturing label identical to those found in Borsalino hats.
The gray felt is of medium weight and extremely malleable—much like certain Borsalino hats, which seem to change shape just by being looked at.
Marcel’s hat has no label; it has been torn out. I bought one myself, though I was skeptical about it being a Borsalino—but, alas, the label in mine has been torn out as well.
Consequently, the only concrete evidence comes from Stefan’s piece: it is a Borsalino in disguise.
There are others like it on the market, but the "Castorino" brand is new to me.
As you can see, the hat has a very 1950s profile, with proportions to match and size is 56 cm,
The other hat was almost certainly produced by Panizza; the felt, its color, and the finish all point toward the Ghiffa factory.
The trademark is "Lord's hat", I have come across a few of these—not many—and I believe I own one myself.
In this instance, it is being presented as an English hat. It is labeled as a size 59, but it fits more like a 58, or perhaps even a 57.
Panizza was, in Italy, the largest manufacturer of felts with medium and long pile finish and the colors that recall the colors of honey are fantastic. This is one
Neither of them fits my head, so perhaps someone else might be interested
