Bolognese Barbisio - 1955
Wouldn't it be nice if all hats contained a dated label?
This was one of two hats purchased from the same store in Bologna in the 1950s. Both are of very good quality and intriguing style that utilizes a low (5") crown and narrowish (2 1/4") brim. The felt on this Barbisio is very nice and supports a casual telescope crease to a crown height of 3 1/2". The Barbiso label is unreadable, but shows the script logo and an adjoining dated label. I should have done a better job of de-linting before taking photos. The felt is deep black. The iPhone had a very difficult time reading focus on these shots.
