Who has one? Can I see it? Do you like it? How old is it? How good are these Italian hats?

I just picked mine up this week on OFAS for under $20.oo shipped, don't know how old mine is but it seems to be in decent shape, other than the lining being a bit stained. I'm hoping that JT can help me get that cleaned up without a problem though? :rolleyes:

Specs: 5" Crown with a 1 7/8" brim and a 1 5/8" black grosgrain.

It's a bit darker gray than shown in the pics.....

I thought this tag that was inside the hat was a bit funny....

Your Barlesoni was made a little closer to home than Italy. These hats were made by the Goodwear Hat Company of Atlanta GA. They were bought out by Bolman during the early 1980's . We still have a few laying aroung in our stores if anyone wants a size 6 5/8!

Bolthead, Wow! That's something you don't see every day! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

For cleaning the liner, I would recommend removing it first. I'm impressed with "Spray N Wash" in the original spray bottle. It works wonders. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash in cold water with mild detergent.

I'm guessing yours is larger than 6 5/8 right?

Somehow I knew you were gonna say that......"I would recommend removing it first."....you make it sound too easy. :eusa_doh:
