Giovanni Panizza & C. (Hutmacher - Zeitung, June 3, 1899)

Panizza - Bologna 1950s

Wooly felt with spiral stitch pattern - likely is wool or wool/felt blend

Intriguing ventilation with button trim. Very nice craftsmanship throughout.

Alan, Wow! I like everything about it!

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Steve! It is the first Panizza I have seen in person.

Super Panizza

Felt is quite thick and resilient. Multilingual sold in Haiti. Quite conservative after Alan's Fantastic Bologna.

Great hat, with a fascinating retail passage through Haiti.

Haiti of all places!! Where did you find that hat?

 

[mayserwegener]

Robert, Super find! The ribbon width and bow design really work nicely. Also always great to see a Panizza!

Alan, I'm in love with your Panizza. That is an wonderful hat. Looks darn sharp!

Robert, great find and well shaped. A nice one!

Looks like FDR moonlighting in a hat ad.

Two new old stock Panizza Presidents from RMR:





both nice hats with felt that is easily malleable, but holds dents well. These probably won't be my last Panizzas.

Excellent Richard... thanks for posting.

 

[mayserwegener]

Totally agree! Panizza made great hats / felt (yes into the 70s!)!

Nice pair Richard. What does RMR stand for?
