Thanks, Joe. It does goe well with the hat (and if you like green;)).
A very fine looking hat. Joe. I would hazard a guess and say the hat is either from the seventies or early eighties. Failsworth still exists, but doesn't make furfelt hats anymore (they do still offer woolfelt hats).
Steve Harley passed away aged 73. Rising to fame in the seventies with Cockney Rebel he was still going strong. He will be missed.
He could even pull off an outfit like in this clip, hat and all.
John Valtz
Steve's @mayserwegener find of a John Valtz hat had me looking into Grosso Valtz and especially John Valtz again for trademarks. It turns out John Valtz had his own trademarks. Here they are in chronological order.
1928
1929
I believe the Valtz hat owned by Daniele @Daniele...

Barbisio fedora in grey with a telescope/porkpie crown. Size 59 with the bound brim at 7cm and the crown at 10cm. Some chafing on the binding and again the liner is ready to be replaced or cleaned because it is grimy. The hat itself is in good shape though. Cool looking hat. Again no labels...
Third one.

Barbisio Supremo stingy brim fedora in what I'd say is olive green. Size 59 with the overwelt brim at 5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. In excellent condition this one. Weighs 105 grams. Again no labels inside the hat.
Second one and the one in best condition is this one.

Barbisio fedora in grey subbranded Cellini. Size 59 with the bound brim at 5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Nice malleable felt with a great hand. Nothing really wrong with this hat except for the liner, which needs either a good bath or a replacement. Weighs 99 grams. No labels...
Picked up three Barbisio hats this week. None in my size though. Let's see.
