    My favorites for Stefan's Sunday parade in perfect order of appearance, despite the opposing materials of mid-summer and beyond summer hats

    Nothing new under the sun.

    The painter of the two groups (both on the same painting) of gentlemen with hats is Gillis van Tilborgh (circa 1625 – circa 1678) The portrait of the woman with hairstyle and lace collar is Cornelis van der Voort (1576 – buried on 2 November 1624) I am very unconvinced that imported beaver...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Certainly the felt of your Borsalino contains rabbit and other types of fur. Italian felts, given the limited supply of local fur, were made of furs mixtures. I have very interesting documentation on the manufacture of felt taken from the newspaper of the Italian hatters in the Twenty and Thirdy...

    Nothing new under the sun.

    Art history is full of depictions of males and females with hats and hairstyles. Here the Flemish painters mentioned and represented belong to different eras. The first painting is from around the mid-16th century and is a sacred representation with period hats. The portraits of the men with...

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    I agree about the dating that Matt expresses. It could be a French felt due to the type and color of melange. I have several very similar ones and they were all made between the Sixties and Seventies. "Flamand" is the felt type of finish.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Ciao Christopher, the answers to your feelings and observations are a little complex and I will try to be concise. Of course, the Borsalino you have is vintage, as long as we agree on what vintage means in the production of hats. For the production of European hats, there were excellent...

    It seems a fantastic day, for northern standard, to visit the books fair in Deventer. For hats only one winner...this in the picture. I forgot to mention that I was in Deventer in one of my explorations in the Netherlands, the city is among my favorites with some other small towns on the...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Joe you leave me a difficult task :) I looked at the three Borsalinos that appeared yesterday with interest and I drew some conclusions that I wanted to sleep on before exposing them, because the first is the one that engaged me the most in its "identification". @ Cristopher Smith First of all...

    French Hats and makers.

    Beautiful and rare color for a "Diplomatique". Gorgeous hat, branded with another rare French seller This time I'm not complaining about the size being too small because I have something similar that fits on my head. Clearly I envy the one in blue :) Morreton can be a hardship, but also a...

    Homburg Nation

    I confess to Stefan and all homburg lovers that they were the most difficult cases to examine in my census of the collection, but some gems will fall on other heads. Pay attention: Large and small sizes. News coming soon :cool:

    BARBISIO Brothers

    I think it will be increasingly difficult to find similar gems on the market. Too much time has passed since Barbisio closed its doors and in Italy the quality hat is a complete unknown. It is a disaster! Well done Stefan!
