Hi all, Does anyone have any information about this "Galimberti" hat? @Daniele Tanto for example? I bought it recently and will receive it in a short period. But i have never heard of it. Thanks in advance. If there is already a thread for it, excuse me, i could not find it here....
Ah, so you got that one. Never saw one before. Odd that it says qualité instead of qualitá. French maybe?
Yep i saw that too and yes i got that one. But Galimberti sound italian to me...Just a gamble, but i like the hat haha....for that price worth gambling i think.
Or so you hope. I've been waiting for three days now for a package that was sent from within the country. A package I sent to Denmark has already arrived!
Here is the Galimberti. Not the best photo's, but the hat is wonderful. Very mallable felt en very light weighted. I'm very pleased with it.
Marcel, the Galimberti could be an Italian hat. Much more would be understood from photos you do well to the whole and to the details. I still have some doubts about some grammatical errors in the trademark, however some good photos would help
Here are some pics in daylight. Then the colour is actually more grey or is it taupe?? There no label behind the sweatband unfortunally.
Marcel, the hat bears an Italian brand, but it seems to have been made by someone who has emigrated or used an Italian surname to feel more chic. I tell you this, even at first glance I thought it was a hat made in Monza, because there are two obvious errors in the Italian language. One is in the mark under the crown where it says "marca di fabbrica" (in Italian language it is "marchio di fabbrica") and another is on the sweatband where the word quality is in French (qualité). That said, there is no doubt that the hat is cute and a rarity
I really don't know. It's possible. But the quality of the felt is good, and the fit also. So for me it was a good buy.
The surname Galimberti is decidedly Lombard (Lombardia, so Monza), with a possible lineage in the province of Reggio Emilia. In Italy there are 2500 families who bear his surname spread in 611 municipalities. Galimberti derives from the Germanic name Warinbert with the meaning of "illustrious defender".
