But where are the good intentions for the start of 2023? They seem to me to have been shipwrecked in the Markemeer or to be adrift in the North Sea :)- Daniele Tanto

Let's celebrate early this morning with a Strà Barbisio. Size 60, equivalent to a 7 1/2 in the US. Light felt hat, "Bolivia" color with pleated bow...- Daniele Tanto

BARBISIO Brothers
Caro Stefano, commenting on the Barbisio brands released between the 1930s and 1940s is to take a small journey into how the regime's politics were also present in Italian brands in those years. There are at least a dozen brands which through lettering or symbolism openly recall the dictates of...- Daniele Tanto

G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936
I've been thinking for a long time, G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro, had, in its short life, the best brands of Italian hatmaking. One of the best designs and lettering of that fervent graphic season in Italy at the beginning of the last century. Bravo Stefano!- Daniele Tanto

BARBISIO Brothers
Some thoughts on your commendable work as a librarian with a penchant for Italian hat brands :) I saw the first Barbisio brand a few years ago on a hat that was in particularly bad shape, then the brand disappeared from the Barbisio hats found on the second-hand market, at least here in Italy...- Daniele Tanto

I look for a hat and I find others, such as a series of homburg or lobbia in the Italian name, sold in Sofia and built between the two wars Every now and then these "finds" from a distant era appear, almost always on the UK market, almost as if Sofia were a suburb of London Borsalino "Trionfo"...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Yes, this Borsalino is beautiful and probably comes direct from after the First World War, but it is also a real enigma. Lining from a shop in Treviso and sweatband from a shop in Hamburg, both with the Borsalino brand crossed out with an X as if to remove the brand and the paternity of the...- Daniele Tanto
