Thanks, Steve. Yes! There is no liner but the inside tag reveals it was made by Palco Hats. The felt is thick and soft rather like a 1950s 3X OR I used to own. Nice details on the overwelt brim and bow. Looks like it has hardly been worn. The brim is slightly stingy at 2 1/4 but just within the acceptable range for me.

Niiiice! Looks like this is larger brimmed Dobbs rainbow. If memory serves they are usually stingy brimmed affairs.
Some very cool Marathon you've picked up, Joe. Looks like the brim edge in this one was folded over, stitched and then cut. Never seen that before.
Another new one. Kindly gifted to me by Daniele @Daniele Tanto.
Morreton Velrex in the colour Baltique. So it isn't black, but a very dark blue. Lovely velour with the raw edge brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 10,5 cm at the center dent. Morreton was a midtier producer with moderate prices hats, so this one is a bit of an oddity, as it is of very high quality.

Stetson 3X western. Not sure of the date. I find no stickers behind the sweat. It does have the stars in the logo though.

Thank you Stefan. I agree.… I think it is the only reasonable way it could have been done. I don’t really love the way it makes a thicker look. But I do think it is really cool and unusual.

Rand's Custom Hatters from 2004. 23" circumference. Made for Dave Wass -- a former Mayor of Jesterville in the Royal Order of Jesters -- who also owned the Little Nevada Casino in Billings, Montana. The ROJ connection explains the color.

From time to time the Italian hat market reserves unexpected surprises, especially when there are finished hats that have never been put on the market. This has already happened to me with Borsalino and this time it is the turn of two Barbisio built by the Cappellificio Cervo
Each of the two has a paper label, difficult to photograph, which shows the production data and tells us that the two hats were produced on July 16, 2008
What denotes these two new purchases is the shape and color.
They are two small homburgs, very similar to the hunting hat that King George of England found to his taste in Bad Homburg, starting the production of an icon in the world of hat.
The dimensions are: curled brim at 5 cm, the ribbon that matches the color of the felt is 4 cm high, finished with a light fur, as well as the one that borders the brim. The lowest point of the crown is 10 cm. and the hat can be rounded or sharper, depending on your taste, the felt is super malleable.
This felt has the color of a "burnt brick", difficult to find in Italian production.
The lining bears no branding or shop names as well as the sweat band which only has a small branding Barbisio Qualità Extra
It is a 60 cm. or 7 1/2 US size and it is unworn.
Tomorrow its brother in green for our pleasure

Cool rough cut look on that tri cord ribbon.
Ah, I should have known that's where they went! Very interesting hat(s). To be honest from seller's pictures I thought they were much older.
Lots to like, Bob. Great ribbon twist and nice bash. Love the mule kick.

Thanks Joe and Steve! I wish it fit me, but I need another hat like this like I ... need another hat!

I have to tell you Stefan, honestly, I didn't know which hats I was going to buy.
They were an unknown to try. I think they were a special order that went unsold anyway.

Second of the two Barbisio "homburg" It is a 60 cm. or 7 1/2 US size and it is unworn as its yesterday brother.
Also in this a paper label, shows the production data and tells us that the hat was produced on July 16, 2008
The dimensions are: curled brim at 5 cm, the ribbon that matches the color of the felt is 4 cm high, finished with a light fur, as well as the one that borders the brim. The lowest point of the crown is 10 cm. and the hat can be rounded or sharper, depending on your taste, the felt is super malleable
The Cervo hat factory has made these hats since it inherited (1981-2) the Barbisio brand keeping it alive until a few years ago, modeling hats in the tradition of the hat factory of Sagliano Micca. The felt is a pleasant green with the ribbon and trim almost matching the color felt.
This too features an unprinted lining with brand name and shop name, so it was built but never released.
Only the logo with a small suit stamp is present on the sweatband
With regret and a bit of nostalgia, I note that the Italian production up to about fifteen years ago was still of excellent quality.

Thoroughbred (Beaver Brand) One Hundred Percent Pure Beaver Fur (I've seen this as a 20X, but I don't find that marked on this hat). A dark gray-green that has faded some where it probably was hanging on a wall in the sun -- you can see a shadow of the ribbon strings.

These BB 100% beaver hats punch above their weight and I’m always looking for another. I love the color of this hat…another 7 1/8…shocking!
