An excellent felt manufacturer, Barbisio of Sagliano Micca has rarely dabbled in short, medium, or long-haired finishes.

I have a few in my collection, but they're very rare.

Today, I'm showing you a Barbisio Sper - Extra Lusso with a "Taupé" finish in very light gray and a midnight blue hatband.

The felt surface is one of the softest I've ever felt, and the hat's finish is first-rate.
I've found something similar on both Borsalino and Panizza; this one is a marvel.

The finish is somewhere between a "peach" and an "antelope," but with a slightly more prominent pile.

Thanks a lot for your likes and words. Have a nice Sunday and keep the hats flow coming
Fantastic hat, Daniele. Barbisio deserves more recognition for their hats.

Echter Borsilino "Qualità Superiore", possibly mid to later 1930s. Unfortunately the Borsalino Paper Label is missing but the separate Size Stamp is present. The Felt Finish is similar to Velour Soleil so shows a high amount of gloss and is very pliable so easily dry creases. There is a mix of colors so a Melange. I found this Soft Felt back in 2021.

I like the hat and carhartt combo too. Is that a blanket lined chore coat, Mr. Greg? I've been telling myself to get one of those for nearly 30 years. Two classic American icons worn together hand in hand, like they's made for each other. I love my old Carhartt but it's a bit heavy for some our milder winters down South. I'm gonna have to round me up a second hand chore coat for them "not so cold" winter days.
Thanks, HB. It is blanket lined but it’s an old Type III. I think they discontinued these some years ago. The chore coat is a good get and I like the Detroit jacket as well.
