This is the seventh orphaned Italian hat and it is my favorite, perhaps because it is older than the writer
We have little news about this black hat from the thirties
Someone threw the liner in the garbage and no indication is present for the lack of a paper label
Velour, as it is called on the sweatband, size 58 centimeters
The shapes and finishes, see the sweatband with "inlays" are those of a hat made about a hundred years ago
Its peculiarity is the black felt, classified as velour which has a very low fur and an exceptional malleability
In the mixture of felt there is certainly a part of wool and probably silk because the consistency and luster are those of some women's hats of the period
As I mentioned in the presentation of this lot, some hats are mysteries, also because their dating is at least fifty years long. This too was sold in a tiny town of Pegognaga, as evidenced by the brand of the shop
These are its measurements: the brims are at 6.3 cm, the ribbon is at 5 cm. and the lowest point of the crown is at 11.5 centimeters.
This hat, as well as the one called "Extra - Tirso" are the adorable puzzles that are found every now and then and make collectors spend a few moments of happiness
