Stetson 6X straw...

Looks to be in great condition, and with that ventilated crown should be comfortable. But does it fit you?

It’s just a bit tight. If I can’t make it work I’ll find it a new home. I really like this style of straw western.

Let's go back to the series of orphaned hats, this time the brand is very well known

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 5 (french point) or 57 centimeters corresponds to a 7 in the USA

The color of the felt is "Biber" and the type of hat is "Ecosan"

The hat seems to come from a batch made at the turn of the 40s and the beginning of the 50s

It arrived since these days as it was made because it lack a owner

These are the measurements: the brims edged with a very thin ribbon that takes up the color of the main one are 7 centimeters, the ribbon is a 3cm and the crown at the lowest point is 11cm.

The felt is of medium consistency and firm to maintain the shape that is obtained without steam

For all the fans of the "casa di Alessandria" I left the flat brims and did some tests with the front lowered, so everyone will chose the best Borsalino profile

Let's give space to this other piece of history of Italian hats from the 1950s.

It too is part of the lucky find a couple of weeks ago that shed new light on Italian hat production.

About ten days ago we saw its older brother in brown velour.
"La Famigliare" size 57 cm. or 7 for the United States of America.

This time the velvet is black, of the same consistency as his brother. The shape and finishes are the same, here we have some more information regarding the marketing of the hat produced by "La Famigliare".

We find a print on the sweatband that tells us the type of hat and the retail price "Lire 134"

We found also a stamp in white that tells us more, but it is quite vanished

The measurements for this piece in velour are as follows: the raw brim is 6 cm, the ribbon is 1.5 cm and the crown at lowest point is 10.5cm.

The hat is very elegant and with a remarkable quality, considered "La Famigliare" it is certainly not one of the most important hat makers in Italy

Damn.....i wish i was a 57

Marcel don't despair I have something in the cargo of hats that arrived from Holland that could make you happy

 

[Daniele Tanto]

A cargo of hats that I was waiting for arrived from Holland, but only today I was able to look at them carefully, so we conclude with this hat the presentation of the "normal" sizes of the Mantua and surrounding area find.
From tomorrow the small sizes pay attention because they will have gems available

The hat is a typical Italian hat of the 30s or 40s starting with the black color, synonymous with elegance.

Felt is a blend where wool is also present and gives the surface that slight sheen found in hats of that era

The graphics and lettering are also attributable to the period,

but, as already mentioned, it could be a hat born after the Second World War with the materials left available in Italian hats

"Smart" size 58 in black felt, without any other indication.
These are the measurements: the raw brims are 6.5 cm, the ribbon is 3.5 cm high. and the crown at its lowest point is 10 centimeters

Another vintage hat looking for a lord who wears it as well as everyone else.
I repeat the hats of this find are on sale except for one.
You ask and you will have reply

 

[Daniele Tanto]

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 "Nuove Creazioni - Qualità Extra Extra" size 55 cm or a 6 7/8 in US.

The color of the heather felt is "Talpa" which is finished with medium hair, very malleable.

As its bigger brothers it arrived new after all these years

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.

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

wonderful color on that long hair and beautiful ribbon.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

I consider lucky those who can easily or almost easily wear small sizes.

The hat is black and certainly made many years ago, I'd say a hundred or so.

The brand is a mystery because there are no other indications.

"Record" size 54 centimeters or a 6 3/4 in US.

Felt is a blend that also contains wool and has that touch that very few hats have today.
Lettering and stamp of brands have an ancient form

The measurements are as follows: the brims edged with a minimal black ribbon are 7cm, the ribbon is 5cm high, the bow is amazing and the highest point of the open crown is 13cm.

Like other French found this year, it goes on the list of black hats to love.
It is a hat that is the example in Europe of elegance in a distant period. Difficult to remain indifferent, shape and bow of rare beauty

It arrived in excellent condition and still having it in my hands I ask who can made it

 

[Daniele Tanto]

How can I present a hat that I saw in the dim light of a parking lot in a gigantic mall and I ardently hoped it was my size, hands touching it revealed the drama

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 3 1/2 or 54 centimeters a 6 3/4 in US.

Felt is a blend that also contains wool and has that touch that made Borsalino a master in mixed felts

The felt is "Mixed Volga" and the hat type is "Celesti"

Simple and excellently made, let's say about ninety years ago because it has the same components as some Borsalinos sold in Eastern Europe and in Germany before the Second World War


It is one of my favorites of this Mantova find
The measurements are as follows: the rough brim is 7cm, the ribbon is 2cm high, the highest point of the open crown is 12 centimeters.

Every now and then someone over the years has asked me what my favorite hats are, here is one

Small size man what a lucky day

Douglas Parker Hats with a Whippet vibe. 2 1/2” brim and substantial felt. US size 7 1/8:

This was sold to me as a Lee in 7 3/8. The only thing that’s Lee is the box and 7 1/8 is not 7 3/8 (even I can figure out that kind of math).

I’m returning the hat to the seller, but if anyone here wants it I could cancel the return. $65 shipped to the contiguous US. Send me a PM if interested.

UPDATE: this hat has found a new home.

Really nice with the contrast between the ribbon and the binding.
