Thanks Brent, it is somewhat of a gimmicky adventure for Biltmore. I believe this is a medium grade felt, maybe a little softer than an Akubra with a coarse texture. Not a bad piece and i think with time and wear it willsoften up, but it does have that crisp Biltmore style.

Thanks Stefan, I was checking out the hats your enabler sent you. The green Adam homburg is to die for. Wow!

This is a chapter in Italian headwear that I have never explored due to a lack of finds.
I found two hats made by a duo of active Milan hatters, as per labels found in hats in the late 1940s.
I tried to track down some other news, but to no avail.
The production of hats in Italy was exterminated, so much so that it was an important voice of the GDP until the sixties and the production houses, immense, large and medium-sized, were many, leaving very little space for individual hatters.
The duo had as the heading of their company Pagani & Messaggi, located in via Ubaldo Visconti di Modrone 4 - Milan.
The hat I am presenting to you is the oldest with date.
It is in "almost shimmering" black felt so I believe it is inside the wool
The hat is beautifully finished and has a sweatband front suitable for air, it is called "Areon" and has a series of "Art Nouveau" motifs embossed around the holes.
The lining is in white silk with the logo of the hatters in the center
The size is a full 60cm so a 7 1/2 in US and the materials used are top notch.
These are the dimensions of the "Nero Forte" felt hat. The brims are 6cm and the ribbon is 4cm, the full crown opening is 15.5cm.
So, with a bit of luck, I opened a chapter in the Italian hat that I was missing, tomorrow I will complete it.

Wonderful and very interesting new finds, Daniele. Looking forward to your new chapter tomorrow.

That is a beauty, Daniele. I can feel the softness through your pictures and description.

Thanks a lot Steve and Randy. Once I understood, despite the unclear photos, the extent of the discovery I did my best to get them. I hope the chapter continues

Homburg labeled Hats in the Belfry. Nice felt, fits right. After careful deliberation I've decided to go with a front pinch; I'll have to steam it in to get it to stop popping out. My hat adventure started a year ago with a hard shell 'burg (no dents) which I wore to a couple of occasions but never really fit or felt right. Now I've got one to rock with my silk scarf.

One of the many Beaver Brand / Langenenberg brands: New York Store, Buffalo, Wyoming. Brown felt and a green three-cord ribbon. The brim width is 3 1/2” and the crown is 4 3/4” at the front dip and 5 1/4” on the sides.

From Fellow Lounger Brent......I am really pleased with this one!
This will get a LOT of head time......the heathered plushe finish along with the rust ribbon is quite striking.

I’m glad it arrived safely. The big question…how does it fit?

It fits fine.....in a way I like my dress hats to fit most of the time. Sits VERY comfortably though needs a LITTLE padding for a windy day. You know how it is......my work hats I like tight, don't want them going anywhere, especially when my hands are full. THANKS AGAIN Brent!!!

Two Bowlers arrived this week thanks to everyone's favourite Dutch enabler.
The first, my third fu Lazzaro Bowler. This one definitely fits the best despite them all being the same size.
More photos and Stefan's description of it here.

The second Bowler via Stefan was this very typically shaped English Bowler from Battersby. My favourite Manchester hatmaker.

Great fat 3 ply ribbon.
Both look great on you, Steve. While I'm a big fan of Fu lazzaro hats, and this one is no exception, I do find myself drawn to the Battersby. I really like the sleek look it's got from the ultra tight brim curl.
I couldn't agree more, Stefan. Sharp, it is.
Thanks once again for thinking of me when you found it. Appreciate it!
