Very nice, how is the sweat and liner? Pics?

Just in. Custom VS Blue Smoke. 2 in. Sharks Gill. 2 3/8 under welt brim. 6 inch open crown. In a word: "Wow!" Wanted a lighter piece that didn't "scream" 'look at me.' With a darker skin tone, some lighter colors take the eyes away from the total 'me,' if you know what I mean. As I venture deeper into collecting, I am aware of certain colors and dimensions of hats that are more appealing...And not just to purchase for purchase sake. I am very pleased!!

That is a beauty NewJack. Very nice.

What’s not to like about a 25 Open Road! Wow! I think these hats are the quintessential city/country hybrid and they look great anywhere.

Third and final Borsalino in needing of some works

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore color is "Ghiaccio", felt is finished with a short hair very velveteen, sold in Pavia

It is not so much worn, but it has some light moths signs and it was badly crushed

Not so much, but it needs some reshaping and a clean

The proportions are: brim overwelte at 6 cm. and crown at 11 cm. the ribbon is 4,5 cm.
It is ready for the trip to Netherlands

It is true I have a soft spot in my heart for Barbisio historical production and also when the brand was produced in Cappellicifio Cervo in Sagliano Micca - Biella three hundreds meters further from the Barbisio factory

This homburg seems never worn and was made in the historical factory so prior 1981

Barbisio Classic, color is "Umbria" with matching ribbon

The proportions are: brim at 5.5 cm crown at 10.5 cm and ribbon at 4 cm.

The felt is of medium density very well malleable without steam

The measure is 4 1/2 that is 56 cm.

It is now in the box for its trip to Netherlands to be in the huge collection of Stefan

Daniele, Two great finds! I am sure Stefan will be very happy to receive both of them.

C. G. Wilke "Helios", 58cm, Wool, 186 grams, possibly late 1920s to 1930s. This Wool Stiff Felt is in near mint condition so a great find. The liner really shines especially at the center so that might be the reason for calling it "Helios". I didn't get a good photo of the label because I didn't want to break the super fine threads that hold the sweatband together. The sweatband has a reed on the outer edge which is fairly common with old German and Austrian Stiff Felts.

Mike, if you haven’t tried a dress weight hat using FEPSA rabbit and hare blend felt you need to. I was shocked at how much I liked it.

Mike Miller had a couple FEPSA bodies a while back. I was really impressed. I wonder what other colors your Sweden connection has? I seem to remember him posting a while back, is that where you got his info? Does he have a web presence?

He started a thread here a while back and I’ve been posting there. He also has an Etsy shop, but aside from the payment which went through Etsy, we communicated outside Etsy via email. His fluency in English made me embarrassed that I can’t speak another language; perfect grammar and syntax and a great vocabulary too. He really was a pleasure to work with. Free shipping and order to delivery of just over one month!

Panizza was, in my experience, the more traditional of the main Italians hats producers

I was very delight when I found this Panizza in deep gray / silver felt finished with medium hair. The color in in changing light is astounding

The production of this hat is, personal opinion, been made in the 80s or at most ninety along with some "Guerra 1855" with the same type of felt from a third part, maybe Cappelifico Falcus or Tesi in the Tuscan hats district

I do not know if at the closure of the Panizza factory in 1981 the production has ceased totally or some hat has been finished over the years, but this is a hat of “Panizza quality” above all for the beauty of the felt, very soft and lustre

The proportions are as follows: raw brim to 6 cm. crown at 9.5 and the ribbon is 4 cm.

The “modern” paper label shows the color number which is 2, no other indications

It seems very little worn, ready to travel to Holland
