What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Very nice;the ribbon/bow work is interesting.It looks like permanent "basting" stitches.From the bounty of my black hat collection, here is an old Vanzina that might perhaps be a rare example of the work of this manufacturer before their absorption into Borsalino during or after the depression. The style has a tall crown and narrow brim, an alpine flavor which reflects the location of the retailer in Brunico, a southern Tyrolean city in Italy within 20 kilometers of the Austrian border. The basting thread that protects the ribbon and elaborate bow remains in place. I don't believe this hat was ever sold to or worn by a consumer. Daniele might have additional thoughts/information.

Thanks Perry... it's an old Missoni from the 1980s. Maybe a good fit for today's Italian job?!
Thank you Celia! I'm glad you enjoy this one. It is one of my more unusual Europeans.
I believe this stitch was used to keep the ribbon and bow from being crushed as hats were stacked for shipment from the factory to the store. It would likely have been removed when sold to the end customer.
Alan, It's really fantastic! I very happy to see this hat.
Thank you Steve... not everyone's cup of tea, but I know you would enjoy this.

Like the song says, Mike, "Enjoy yourself; it's later than you think!"
The color palette today is great, sir, but the hat patterns nearly gave me an acid flashback to 1969 OP ART!

A really Special hat, Alan. Your narrative makes it even more meaningful, thank you!!From the bounty of my black hat collection, here is an old Vanzina that might perhaps be a rare example of the work of this manufacturer before their absorption into Borsalino during or after the depression. The style has a tall crown and narrow brim, an alpine flavor which reflects the location of the retailer in Brunico, a southern Tyrolean city in Italy within 20 kilometers of the Austrian border. The basting thread that protects the ribbon and elaborate bow remains in place. I don't believe this hat was ever sold to or worn by a consumer. Daniele might have additional thoughts/information.

Thanks Charlie. That pattern is pretty mesmerizing. I'm not sure how they two toned the bottom and tops of the colored straws.
Your green hat today is fantastic. I need a green hat. Badly.
Michael
Fabulous hat, Esther!

That's a sharp lid
That's a stunningly beautiful hat, Alan. That bow treatment is wonderful, and exactly what I want duplicated on my next custom.From the bounty of my black hat collection, here is an old Vanzina that might perhaps be a rare example of the work of this manufacturer before their absorption into Borsalino during or after the depression.
