Second one and the one in best condition is this one.
Barbisio Supremo stingy brim fedora in what I'd say is olive green. Size 59 with the overwelt brim at 5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. In excellent condition this one. Weighs 105 grams. Again no labels inside the hat.
Barbisio fedora in grey subbranded Cellini. Size 59 with the bound brim at 5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Nice malleable felt with a great hand. Nothing really wrong with this hat except for the liner, which needs either a good bath or a replacement. Weighs 99 grams. No labels...
Picked up three Barbisio hats this week. None in my size though. Let's see.

A nice homburg certainly brightens up my day. Gorgeous homburg, Steve.
Why not take the classic look to perfection?! This hat does just that.
Magnificent hat, Bob.
Again, wonderful find of a very rare brand hat, Steve. And a good looking hat it is too. The "The art of the hat of Valle Cervo" book contains some pictures of the John Valtz factory and the Grosso Valtz factory as well:

Incredible find, Steve. These Valtz and Grosso Valtz hats are almost impossible to find. This description of the company is taken from "The Hats of Valle Cervo" book:
The Grosso Valtz e C. hat factory was founded in Andorno in 1885 on the initiative of 15 hatters as a general partnership. Just...

That's a nice one, Joe. Cool ribbon and brim binding.
Melegari got that one right, Daniele. That hat has presence!
Might well be your finest Dalton, Jim. Really like that one.
Cool find, Joe. Failsworth held the UK license to produce Stetsons and made some very fine hats. Judging by the liner this appears a more modern one, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be a top quality hat.
Thanks, Marcel. Never let it be said that I discriminate green hats!

Thanks, Randall. That Garcia really came back from the dead. Being a master reanimator yourself it's not a surprise that one should...
