The second hat of the day is a classic that cannot be more classic.
Barbisio Rimini 2.jpg

A Barbisio production of the seventies or perhaps the sixties in a combination of colors seen several times in Italy, as well as the shape and proportions.
Barbisio Rimini 3.jpg

Barbisio Classic, Qualità Extra Extra size 59 centimeters, but more a 58 than the size indicated, arrived so far in excellent condition.
Barbisio Rimini interno totale.jpg

The medium weight felt is very malleable and has a dark gray with a black ribbon.
Barbisio Rimini 4.jpg

The felt color is called "Rimini" as the town on the Adriatic sea, the ribbon is black with an ancient bow design
Barbisio Rimini etichetta carta.jpg
Barbisio Rimini 5.jpg

These are the measurements: the raw brims are at 5.5 cm, the crown at its lowest point is at 10.5 cm. and the black ribbon is 4.5cm. high
Barbisio RM 1.JPG

As mentioned in other posts, the classic Barbisio, that was made in Sagliano Micca in the historic production workshop, are increasingly scarce, so when I find someone I buy it, this for some lover of the Italian classics with a head diameter suitable for its measures :)

It doesn't get much more classic than this. Great find and a lovely hat, Daniele.

My Barbisio curiosity arrived. It’s a very unusual hat. The inside of the hat, under the liner, there is a rough textile backing. It also has orange stains all over the…felt? Despite the 60cm/6 1/2 Punti size tag, it’s very small: it measures 7 7/8 by 6 1/8. It’s also very heavy. No labels hiding under the sweatband. Here it is in all its glory!

Brent, Interesting. I think it was made in Columbia and for the Columbian market. Here is a Tonak Hückel Guama Somberero made for the Venezuelan market.

Just as interesting as before, Brent. For some odd reason I'm not jealous though; could be the green colour:D

Third episode of the Italian hat orphanage
barbisio-digione-2-jpg.361463

This is a brand that you all know: Barbisio Sagliano Micca - Biella.
barbisio-digione-3-jpg.361464

The hat is a product of the Sixties with a quality that only Barbisio knew how to put in his hats.
"Qualità Extra" Barbisio size 58 full size
barbisio-interno-totale-jpg.361466

The color of the felt is "Dijon" without other indications.
barbisio-digione-5-jpg.361467

The felt is of the superb Barbisio quality, extremely malleable as well as firm in its shape once formed with a "peachy" touch

The color is a beautiful green (Stefan permitting) as is the finish in the same felt as the ribbon
barbisio-digione-6-jpg.361468

These are the measurements: the raw brims are at 6.5 centimeters and the crown at its lowest point is at 11 centimeters. Finished with extreme craftsmanship it is no surprise, but a wonderful hat

Love the shape of it and I can well imagine what the felt feels like. Doesn't cut the mustard for me though...;)

Beautiful hat Daniele.
Brent thanks for your appreciation, the Barbisio's color is a bit bold, but fantastic as a whole and then the Barbisio have a unique silhouette.
Stefan, I know your love for the Barbisio family that, as you well know, we share, I also know your aversion to the color of Dijon mustard
Thanks Marcel this Barbisio is unique, especially in color and shape.

Thanks to everyone who liked it and expressed their appreciation

I have nothing to complain with those who have a small hat size, let's say from 56 towards the small, but yesterday and today classifying and photographing these hats I was envious.
barbisio-talpa-1-jpg.364857

Barbisio "Nuove Creazioni - Qualità Extra Extra" size 55 cm or a 6 7/8 in US.
barbisio-talpa-2-jpg.364858
The color of the heather felt is "Talpa" which is finished with medium hair, very malleable.
barbisio-talpa-3-jpg.364859
As its bigger brothers it arrived new after all these years
barbisio-talpa-interno-totale-jpg.364862

A rare stamp of the brand in the lining for this luxurius hat

It seems designed by someone outside the fashion sector of Barbisio

The classic logo on the sweatband

The measurements are as follows: the brims sewn above are 6cm, the ribbon is 4cm high, the bow is amazing and the lowest point of the crown is 11cm.
barbisio-talpa-4-jpg.364867

It is a hat that has colors, shape and bow of rare beauty.
Some signs of moths for a missed opportunity

All small sizes are sold at rock bottom prices :rolleyes:

It is definitely a unique one Brent. Lots to like about this one, that finish! And Nutria to boot. Not even my style, but I would build an out fit around this one. Kinda cool!

I think this will be, for now, the last batch of the small sizes. A few more will appear in the next days
barbisio-vinaccia-1-jpg.365079

Barbisio presumed size 55 cm or 6 7/8 US. No paper label present or other indication
barbisio-vinaccia-2-jpg.365080
The color of the felt, very beautiful, is a quite dark burgundy, very bold
barbisio-vinaccia-3-jpg.365081

The hat is unlined and very basic, I have one of the same type in blue, size 61 cm. very interesting to wear on humid days
barbisio-vinaccia-interno-totale-jpg.365082

This has a smaller aspect ratio
barbisio-vinaccia-4-jpg.365083
The raw brims are 5.5 cm, the crown open at its maximum height is 13 cm and the ribbon is 1.5 cm. high in the same color felt.



A hat produced in the Seventies at the end of the glorious history of Barbisio di Sagliano Micca - Biella.

His older brother has already proved his qualities: bold in color and perfect in his livery.
barbisio-verde-54-interno-totale-jpg.365089

Barbisio size 55 cm or 6 7/8 US.
panizza-verde-2-jpg.365090

These are the measurements: the raw brims are at 6.5 centimeters and the crown at its lowest point is at 11 centimeters.
panizza-verde-3-jpg.365091

It is a minor clone of a magnificent hat.

I hope there is someone who can wear it, despite the size now "out of fashion".

I'm always glad to find a good Barbisio hat and while I am waiting for a few very very good ones my friend Daniele @Daniele Tanto has found for me (to be fair, he is much closer to the source), I was very happy with this one.
Barbisio Sportex in argento colour. Size 57 with the overwelt brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Talpa finish, which means a longhair. A bit roomy for me at size 57, but I think I can make it work. Weighs 111 grams. The liner is killer on this one.
