The Barbisio John (Moehawk) posted above has made it to my doorstep (and beyond) and I thank him again for generously trading it with me. I took some pictures of it the way I usually do. The hat is indeed superb. Very lightweight pliable felt. Here it is again (it deserves it). Barbisio Sportex in grey (Tanaro). Bound brim with double row of stitching at 6cm and crown 10cm at the pinch. Unlined. Daniele can probably shed some light on the fact that the crown patch and sweatband both state Cappellerie Barbisio (in French) instead of Cappelleria Barbisio (Italian).

That is one sweet Italian. It is good to see your face under such a beauty. Interesting crown patch.

Wow, I LOVE this hat! If I ever get a bespoke made, maybe I will ask for a clone. Beautiful!

La risposta è in Italiano così imparerete a studiare la mia lingua prima di avventurarvi in strane interpretazioni
Cappellerie è il plurale di cappelleria. La parola in francese corrispondente è chapellerie.
Barbisio aveva alcuni negozi mono marca sparsi in Italia, i nomi sono sulla banda parasudore pertanto, questi negozi in cui solamente cappelli erano in vendita, sono definite in italiano "cappellerie" al plurale.
Svelato l'arcano
Thank you, headmaster. That will teach me not to draw conclusions before I had a good look at what it actually says on the sweatband and crown patch.La risposta è in Italiano così imparerete a studiare la mia lingua prima di avventurarvi in strane interpretazioni

Turns out "cappellerie" is the plural of "cappelleria". It had a p too many and an h short to be French. Boy, is my face red....I'm lucky to escape without detention.

Stefan, Fantastic! You can really see the quality. I especially like the ribbon width and bow design / work. Also great to see you wearing it!

I am certainly indulgent with my representative in Flanders to whom I am entrusted with my hobby exchange bargains, though a bit of Italian he should study it, considering he has a love for the hats coming from here.Thank you, headmaster. That will teach me not to draw conclusions before I had a good look at what it actually says on the sweatband and crown patch.

However, you are widely forgiven .... for now, we will see later.
Barbisio has a variety of styles in its maximum splendor that is magnificent above all for quality and experimentation that often surprise me.
On the other hand Panizza is the tradition and Borsalino is the unbridled fashion.
I'll be more dilligent with my homework from now on.
Just to start of the sunday with some more pictures, here's a Barbisio I haven't posted before. I thought it was bit mundane and too modern to post it here, but there's a lot to like on this one. The felt is very soft and the shape and colour are very nice as well. Barbisio extra lusso in grey. Size 57 with raw edge brim at 6cm and crown at 9,5cm at the pinch. No label inside the hat. Seller was Troncarelli in Rome.

Semi Rough, I like that. That finish really highlights that color. Is it soft or stiffish? Nice one.
Mike, thanks. It has a bit more shellac in it. Not as stiff as some homburgs but certainly more than other furfelt hats. Because these heathers have a certain amount of wool in the mix I think this was done to let it keep its shape more easily. The Stephen L. Stetson is stiffer in the brim than this one to give you a comparison.
