Post New Hats Here!
Thanks Marcel. My investment, after collecting dozens of ready-to-use hats, is to work on antique felts for new hats. Up to now the projects put in place have given good results with the indispensable contribution of Fluer. Also add a bit of luck in finding excellent quality felt cones or...- Daniele Tanto

Last hat taken from a Borsalino felt and worked by Fleur The hat was originally for women and very large in proportions, bought in the USA. It size was 57 cm a 7 in US, but the brims were wide that it could be reblock into a 59 1/2 which is my measurement What deeply attracted me was the...- Daniele Tanto

A French hat, Flechet, making its debut today for the first time Built many years ago by the French manufacturer and never finished, it came to me together with a lot that I bought from a Provençal street vendor a few years ago. The hats arrived in Verona were from various French...- Daniele Tanto

Thank you for your appreciation on yesterday's Borsalino / Fleur. Today another hat arrived on sale from Tonak and refitted by Fleur. The felt, very beautiful, had not been finished and had an uneven surface. Appropriately treated, this "Antilope" surface has taken, which in the Czech...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
This Borsalino "Vivax" was, together with another, branded and ready for use among the "experimental" purchased a few years ago The ribbon was unwatchable and truly awful. The stylist had tried to make the hat a strange object and also the felt had suffered damage in the processing Like the...- Daniele Tanto

OK the photographs are "flipped" from perspective, but the phone was unknown, so the result is this before the pouring rain Fortunately for me, this is the only hat from the lot found in Mantua that fits in my head It is also the one that has the less information on its origin considering that...- Daniele Tanto

Homburg Nation
This was a 30% formed felt cone from Borsalino The shape of the crown was oval and indefinite, a white spot was on the edge of the felt. Nothing exceptional also because it had been very hardened with the stiff. The midnight blue color along with a deep gray was what interested me most We...- Daniele Tanto

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
The western Borsalino was sold in Venezia, this makes me smile because it is a tourist hat. You can sell anything in Venice, even a western hat to the delight of some overseas tourists.:rolleyes: I believe it is a hat from the 1950s when the wording "Qualità Extra Extra Superiore" was still...- Daniele Tanto

Thanks Mike and Joe for your words. The baseball cap turned on its own, dear Mike, and there was no way to put it back on until late afternoon when the sun came back in front of my eyes. Brent, your observations on experiencing excursions apply perfectly to what happens in the Dolomites. That...- Daniele Tanto

Post New Hats Here!
A few years ago I bought two batches of shortly finished Italian felts, almost formed and a couple ready for use. One was made up of Borsalino "experiments" and another seems to be of Barbisio manufacture. The latter were all formed, but without finishes or, if any, had been removed. So I...- Daniele Tanto

Here I am on the first day a felt hat can be worn The summer was long and hot, without interruptions, so I waited to be able to be on the track again. I was lucky because after my arrival, after a week in the mountains, I found a full-bodied package waiting for me Part of my plan to use old...- Daniele Tanto
