Books About 20th Century Men's Hats?
Yes Stefan, they are difficult to find. I encountered some others volumes, but they are too much expensive even if I offered a "nice" amount of euros for the whole lot. They are the most deep view in the Italian hatters way of work and life.- Daniele Tanto

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
After a rainy day, the cold spring broke out with strong winds and constantly moving clouds. For the occasion I dusted off a Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore in a "rare" color. Called by Borsalino "Spago - Twine" and with a definition "Cocisan" as a model. I like it a lot even if when I...- Daniele Tanto

Books About 20th Century Men's Hats?
I agree with Stefan on the advice, very difficult to fully implement, to read Longoni's book dedicated to Italian hatters. They were a large workforce within the Italian economy from the early nineteenth century to the seventies of the last century. Organized in trade unions and very independent...- Daniele Tanto

I took a few days off from the hats and surroundings. Today the wisteria is the protagonist because it is in bloom. Planted in the corner of this Art Nouveau house in 1912 (architect Ettore Fagiuoli https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettore_Fagiuoli) it has resisted until now. Two years ago he...- Daniele Tanto

I took a few days off from the daily hat fair, focusing more on what has come to me in recent days from the domestic market. Today, first day of spring, I come back with a velour hat. It was made in Italy in Merano by Matthias Hutter with the typical Tyrolean finish and a cord as a hatband...- Daniele Tanto

Thank you very much! My impression about this Bantam is very similar to yours and this was the will of the Italian hattery to give a twist to the tastes of its numeous buyers. It didn't succeed, but it left us these "fancy hats" :)- Daniele Tanto

Italian brands hats
I agree with you Stefan on the subtle qualities of the "Oklahoma" Bantam, but the one in the "Polynesia" color is one of the most daring Italian hats of the period when Italian hattery were on the road to decline. Many "Bantams" seem to have "The Fantasy in Power". This said in a very...- Daniele Tanto
