Joe thanks.
The lady who sold it to me asked me to keep it with care or to sell it to people who could appreciate it. To my question about the reasons for the request she told me the story a little more complex than I have summarized. To be precise, the Barbisio was the first adult gift the...
In this period I bought a series of hats for various reasons, this and others for their beauty, knowing full well I would never have worn them, but perhaps I would have made some loungers happy, others because they were in interesting lots and some because they were my size

Today it's the turn of a hat made in the Sixties or Seventies like the others shown these days

The color "Destrina - Dextrin", I assume was his curiosity
Ascertained that Borsalino used this color, I remembered that I have a hat of this color. Here it is.

Many thanks Eric!
I'm new to caps and don't think I'll go beyond this grade.
