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.

That black is so deep and picks up the available light nicely. The basting stitches on the cool looking ribbon are a great feature to this ancient beauty. A real teaching moment.

The whole hat is extraordinary, but that double layered bow... that's the cherry on top of the sundae.

In a nod to the upcoming record high temp today of around 75 it's the first Panama of the season for me. Ecua-Andino

This will be the last panama day for awhile as we are to return to seasonal temps.

Your record temps made the morning news here in Oregon. I approve of your lid choice for today, cool looking weave!
