Grows on you with each picture!These postings need a bit of an introduction. A large box arrived on my doorstep last week. It contained a kind and extremely generous gift from the north of Italy. Daniele @Daniele Tanto is cleaning up some of his vast collection and found some in my size. Under the ruse of the hats needing work he sent them my way. All most of them needed was the usual steaming, brushing and stretching, but I'm not complaining! So here they are (except for one, which still is on the stretcher).
Cambiaghi heather fedora in brown. Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 6cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Weighs 113 grams. The unreeded sweatband and the style of crown patch tell us this is a very early one. Perfect for autumn.

For the final one (for now) I've saved a special one.
Panizza Zeffiro in black. Actually a homburg but because of the rather flat topped crown it resembles a cambridge bowler in style close enough for me to keep it open crown. Size 55 (so needed some stretching) with the bound brim at 6cm and the open crown at 13cm. One of the finest Panizzas I've seen and in pristine condition. Weighs 130 grams.
