Thank you I appreciate it
That you for your kind words
That's a cool one!
I love this tall crown, great looking hat!!!
That is a very cool ribbon treatment.
I also missed the triple stitched over welt brim. All kinds of good stuff with this one.
I have a similar hat I can not bring myself to do anything with. Needs brushing & shaping. Not as longhair as your’s.I’ve just returned from the tobacconist’s shop that also handles parcel deliveries for various couriers.
The contents are excellent—and plentiful, too, with options for both large and small sizes.

I thought it might be fun to turn this into a little game centered on hats: who made them, where do they come from, and how did they end up on our heads? The challenge is: who crafted this hat?

I believe this is only the second time in my life that I’ve worn a hat of this particular make.
The first was back in the early seventies—bought by a friend who was absolutely captivated by the Marlboro advertisements—which was very similar: cream-colored, with a brim shaped just like this one.
And now, this Western-style (or similar) hat has arrived.

Go ahead—make your guesses as to who might have made it and brought it to Italy.
As for the prize? We’ll discuss that once the mystery is solved
Ahh, so Barbisio (at least while made by Cervo) could get in on this trend, as well.
I would suggest guitar 6 string, of course with the banjo you can use a different style of pick on your finger tips, either one would work for the area that you are moving to. However if your job will be to captain a riverboat, go with the banjo. 100 ton river boat, are you talking paddle wheel?
That bone color is really a nice color for a hat, it changes in tone depending on the amount of light it is exposed to, in this photo the color looks like a silverbelly color.
