    Italian brands hats

    It is rare to find hats branded only with the name "John Valtz" which I suspect is a pseudonym given the location of the hat shop in the photograph posted by Stefan. As can be seen from the image, this is a humble farmhouse in the Cervo valley, while the Grosso&Valtz headquarters has more the...

    I resume publishing Flechet's trio, strictly in grey, each with its own variations. This has a blue background in the color of the felt which is particularly noticeable in the shade. It is certainly the most "modern" of the Flechets of this group. The felt is very soft and malleable even if...

    As always, a ranking in order of preferences. The Borsalino Misto Salvia is a marvel. The Mossant pure elegance and I'm curious to see the Gracia Velor in full, considering that I've been hanging around velour for a while

    Nice find Marcel. The origins of the hat marked Gelot is a little bit complicate. The tag of size is Panizza, the only Italian manufacture able in those year to made velour. The paper label is Borsalino, so take tour own conclusione

    Today for a gray and windy day I chose a French hat from the 1950s, perhaps it is from the late 1940s, but in any case it has a very elegant appearance and can be seen from the finishes. It is part of a trio of Flechets who are all grey, but none of them are the same. Flechet de Luxe - Super...

    Trip to Italy

    Three and a half days in Rome and in other cities of art, Firenze and Venezia, is equivalent to the fluttering of eyelashes. I think it is appropriate for you to dedicate yourself to the topics that interest you most in the time between one tourist visit and another. The center of Rome is not...

    Trip to Italy

    The list of shops in the cities you will visit is indicative for finding hats. Keep in mind that you will find average hats and many below average because in Italy the hat as a fashion accessory has disappeared for at least forty years. If you're lucky, you might find some interesting...

    Trip to Italy

    Have a good trip to Italy, first of all. The three cities you have chosen are the most visited and touristy in Italy, therefore you will find goods, restaurants and much of the offer aimed at tourists. I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations of finding used hat shops, but there are very few...

    Latest arrival among Central European hats made with velour felt. It is a Huckel 1799 "Durit" made for the French market. In recent times I have had various velour hats in my hands and this is an example of lightness compared to others that have arrived in my collection. The felt is dense...
