Finishing up with the old purchases, I own this one to this thread. Super Panizza lobbia in Antimonio color View attachment 307731 View attachment 307732 View attachment 307733 View attachment 307734 View attachment 307735
Not originally my find, so God bless Daniele

Fantastic. The Super Panizzas are the ones to go for. Some serious brim on this one as well and a great colour.

Thank you Stefan, I love it and I am grateful to Daniele for letting that one go !

 

[Daniele Tanto]

This Panizza is, for me, a rarity

The reason is that I have never found a hat from the house on Lake Maggiore marked "Marca Oro"

It is a hat from the magnificent part of the Panizza production that was affected more than the other producers in the 1970s by the end of the golden years of Italian hats

This has a great felt called "Edelweis" as color on the paper label which has very little to do with the actual color of the felt

What is great is the ribbon made of the same carved felt as specified on the paper label.
Felt has this hardly yieldable color due to its continuous change in the light of the pale and sunny yellow September.

In the photographs, almost all of them, it is very close to its exact shade which is a brown that goes towards an intense yellow.

The measurements are as follows: the brims with a with a tiny seam are at 6 centimeters, the ribbon is the same color as the felt and the crown at its lowest point is 10.5 centimeters.

The "Marca Oro" has been magically preserved

Saving hats is sometimes a question of affection or curiosity.
What you see today belongs to the second category.

Panizza For Ever size 60cm and 7 1/2 in US.

The size is perfect so it's big for my head, at least in this case.

I have never seen a Panizza marked "For Ever", perhaps one passed through my hands some time ago.

This one had all the characteristics to get back on its feet and have new life.
Felt is a mixed whose name has disappeared from the paper label.

Compared to many Panizza that I have or have had it is a very high-end hat, you can see it in the finishes and quality of the components.
It was curated by Fleur to be worn again, by a twist of fate not for me.

The measures of this rarity: the brims edged in contrast with the color of the felt are at 6.5 centimeters. the black ribbon is 4 centimeters high and the height of the crown at its lowest point is 11 centimeters.
Here is a hat that shows a brand and the location where it was made in great evidence.

Fantastic hat, Daniele. If it was a size or two larger I’d be sending you a PM
The felt, binding, and ribbon just really look great together. I wish these hats were more common in the US. Thank you for sharing.

Daniele, It's really something! I like everything about it. The Felt is amazing. I also like the effect of the contrasting Brim binding. The "Panizza Ghiffa For Ever" mark is unique / special. Great find!

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Me too Panos. It seems a very high end hat for the standard of Panizza quality

Fantastic hat, Daniele. If it was a size or two larger I’d be sending you a PM

Brent thanks for your appreciation. I try everyday to rediscover hats buried in the past. Sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. This is an half satisfaction because this Panizza does not want stay on my head.
More Europeans hats on the US market? I have many to sell, but it is not so simple...

Damn, 1 size too big.....

I can say the same Marcel, with regret

How could anyone not love that hat?

It the same tought I made when I see three hats for sale with a tons of old things all around

Daniele, It's really something! I like everything about it. The Felt is amazing. I also like the effect of the contrasting Brim binding. The "Panizza Ghiffa For Ever" mark is unique / special. Great find!

Thank Steve. I would like to wear it, but it's really big and so I'm in doubt...

Panizza Imperial Superfine in the colour Lapis. Stingy overwelt brim at 4,5cm (which is a bit narrow for my standards) and crown at 10cm at the center dent. Lovely lightweight hat at only 80 grams with a nice hand and a felt that does anything with no effort. The pinches show that slight angular crease of high quality felts.

Thanks to Daniele, I am so happy to say, I'm the very proud new custodian of this unique Panizza.

For a hat that is too small there is one that is too large and this too had to be my size.
The result of an exchange with my friend Stefan, it turned out to be too wide for my head despite being a 6 1/2 or 60 cm.

It passed through the talented hands of Fleur and I asked her to change the original "fantasy" ribbon that seemed too fancy to me.

I asked for a hatband to match the very particular color of the felt which is indefinable, but heather enough to make it very interesting.

Super Panizza size 60 cm or 7 1/2 in the USA.

The felt is defined as M 4, which stands for "Misto 4" and the ribbon was called "fantasy" to stay on the subject.

Very nice felt and malleable.

The proportions of this Super Panizza are as follows: the brims are at 5.5 centimeters, the (new) ribbon is 3.5 cm high. and the crown at its lowest point is 10.5cm.

This Super Panizza is recommended for all those who have a real size 60 or 7/2, to my detriment

Such a pity it doesn't fit you, Daniele. A fantastic heather felt and Panizza at its best. Especially with the new, more classic ribbon by Fleur.

Panizza Super in grafite. Longhair felt in a size 57 with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. The felt was a bit neglected when I first got this one, but after several brushings and some steaming it is now well behaved and has returned to its original soft hand. Very malleable. Unfortunately some surface mothing here and there.

 

[StoryPNW]

I'm new to Panizza hats but am looking at a Royal Panizza on ebay, what is the difference between the Royal and Super? Is the Royal a decent quality hat?

The Super Panizza is a much earlier hat. The Royal can be hit and miss as Panizza was in decline by then.

Thank you for the help.

I can not resist, despite the good intentions.
The Italian hat market is conspiring against me because it is full of succulent news almost every day

Panizza De Luxe size 59 cm. 7 3/8 US, an extremely well preserved hat

It is one of the rare long-fur hats produced in Italy.

The velour is very soft and slightly different from the master hatters of Central Europe.
What made me decide is the color of the felt, not indicated on the label,

but which could be defined as "Honey".

These are the measurements: the raw brims are 5.5 cm. The open crown is 14 cm and the ribbon is 3 cm high with a very particular bow

On the other hand we saw, a few years ago with Steve, the parade of bows displayed on the walls of the Panizza museum, as well as the machine tools to produce velour

In the past I have found other Panizza in long velour fur, but the colors and the shape were too out of my taste, this one, however, is fine

Daniele, Also super! Really like to see the Soleil Velour finish. Great color too.
