That one’s close to the horse color Bill.
Knox is nice!

Here are a couple of pictures of the buckskin you are referring too. Maybe a very light tan felt with very dark brown or black ribbon work. In some lighting she looks like a silver belly. I've been thinking about it since you mentioned the idea.

I put this Barbisio a few months ago in the classified, but after much interest and visualization no one came forward

I asked then, very kindly, to my favorite model to wear it for me, maybe someone will change his mind

Super Barbisio Extra Lusso size 59 or 7 3/8 US
View attachment 197710
It has been completely cleaned and refurbished in the Netherlands at Penumbra Hat

The color of the felt is "Libia" the color of the ribbon "Talpa" and the ribbon that adorns the brim is in contrast with the other colors

I also added a photo with a pale sun to show you the beauty of the color and the finished Barbisio felt with a minimal plush surface.
Thanks for the likes and keep on the hats forum!
Buona giornata
If only that Barbisio was my size, Daniele. Outstanding look.

Tonak "Brillant" probably mid 1950s. The liner has a blue tint which makes me think the felt color could be more of a very dark blue. This hat was made for the Czechoslovakian market.

The felt sure looks a dark blue in that light to me, Steve. Super looking Tonak. They can be hit or miss, but that one definitely looks like a very desirable hit.

Have a good one,

Michael, that is some amazing style. You always come up with an impressive ensemble, but the knickers just cinch the whole thing together. Very cool.

There is little light for decent photography

Barbisio without any paper label to define the color of the felt and other indications usefull to know more on this hat

It is certainly a product of the Cappellificio Cervo, very beautiful outside, essentially spartan inside

Today the green color of the felt stands out very well in the gray light

Interesting the appeal of the ribbon on the brim in complete contrast with the felt and the bow. Everything fits well with my jacket :)

I thank you for your likes for the historical Barbisio that I wore yesterday for all the undecided. Repeat is still for sale;)
Have a nice day and congratulations for your wonderful hats!
