I'm not sure quite honestly if its Firenze. This just arrived secondhand from Japan last week, and based on the seller's description I'm at least the third owner. It does have a serial number stamped on the inside pocket, so I guess I could contact Vanson and verify against their internal...
It's from The Blurred Clothing Co. Here's a link to the original shop. They seem to have some interesting stuff that fits in with the things we like around here, but I couldn't find any previous references on the forum. At second-hand prices there's little risk so I figured I'd give it a try...
After being teased with jacket weather in the mornings last week, Mother Nature gives a middle finger with an anticipated 110F heat index today. Le sigh. Buyee shipment en route, so hopefully next week offers a reprieve and a chance to wear:

Can't help with dating, but I just wanted to say thank you for joining the forum and sharing your finds. You've showcased some really interesting hats. I wish I could find hats like the ones you have found at garage sales!
