48. The hand-shaping with the help of the "fissella" (operation called "strozzatura") was still practiced by Panizza in the eighties to obtain special forms of hat.

54. Wrapping of the "galls" (node) and of the felt braids for the gasket of the hats. The harmony of the color of the ribbon was checked on the hats with particular care.

56. Automatic guides, designed inside Panizza, for sewing machines, were designed to obtain special fancy seams on the brim.

57. "Garnishing" department. Angle application of strips and galleons. The hat sweatband is made with the hanging of the "Moroccan" (inner leather), the oil skin, and finally the lining.

58. "Garnishing" department. Corner edging and Moroccan application (leather strips placed inside the hat to absorb the sweat of the head).

59. "Garnishing" department. Selected angle and printing of Moroccan. You can notice in the background the machine to print in lithography the lining of the linings.

60. The "stitching" (making sewing profile) of Moroccans is used for handmade leather hanging on the hat and is used especially on lighter felt.

61. With the printing of Moroccan leather, the trademark and the signature / address of the customer are imprinted with "gold film".

62. The finished hats, before being checked and passed to the packing department, undergo a final smoothing.

63. The application of the "bow" on the leather inside the hat is the last operation before the boxing.
