Daniele (Tanto) recently pointed me in the direction of Aristocrat as a sub-brand of Barbisio. When I went shopping for hats recently I came across one of these hats in my size and with a shark gill bow. That was a no-brainer. So here it is: Barbisio Aristocrat grey in size 56, double stitched raw edge brim 5,5cm and 10,5 cm crown at the pinch. Lined with onion skin covering of crown patch. Nice supple felt. Good example of fine Italian hatmaking, even when it was supposed to be second-tier production for the cheaper end of the market. My estimate is mid sixties to mid seventies. Don't know if the name "ginevra" refers to colour or model.

This one is the second hat of the Holland-Italy hat exchange program between Daniele Tanto and myself. After yesterdays example another Barbiso Articrat and this one comes close to a holy grail hat I want to own: the Borsalino "film" in light grey (well, see below for the general idea). Aristocrat in light grey with black ribbon, size 57 with 5,5cm brim and 12 cm crown at the pinch. New old stock. The label says "sesia", which is a river in Italy for either model or colour. My thanks go out to Daniele and his generosity for finding this one and trading it with me. Wonderful hat.

Scion and Manfred, thanks. It certainly ticks all the boxes! Just to keep Daniele, who provided it, entertained here are some pictures of one homburg in his size that I (unfortunately) no longer own. Panizza homburg in grey, size 59, brom 5,5 cm and crown 11 cm in front. I think it was made in the sixties.

I hope it went to a proper home, some hat nut who appreciates the beauty of this Italian creation.

It is a hat shaped on the shape of an Alpine hat (Italian mountain troops)
The ribbon with the iron clip is typical of the 70's when it was the latest fashion.
It is an atypical production of the home of Sagliano Micca, very traditional in its production.
The asking price is really high for a hat so tied to a niche of the market, which was that of the "alpinets" like us, here in Italy, we call this type of hat.

I hope so too, but once you let them go you're never sure, unless it's a member here of course.

Very nice looking hat, Karl. You don't see green that often, because it's mostly the greys, browns and blacks (even blue is not too common). Did you put that shape in it? It has quite the rake!
