Hopefully there is someone who can take this off your hands and give it love.After a good series of successful ventures, we come to the unsuccessful ones. In this case, it's the size that's completely wrong for my head.

Panizza Sud-Ovest, created exclusively for the Cabella store in Milan from 1924, still existing under another address.

The internal oval measures 19x16 centimeters, which corresponds approximately to a size 56 cm, or a size 7 in the United States.

Judging by the telephone number on the sweatband, the hat dates back to before 1970, the year the geographic area code was introduced in Italy.

The felt color is "Graffite," and the ribbon is also "Graffite," tone-on-tone, with a wide, pleated ribbon.
The brim measures 5 cm, the ribbon is 5.5 cm high, and the crown is 10.5 cm at its lowest point.

The felt is a mix; you can see some white threads, and it has a gray sheen like pencil leads.

As you can deduce from the writing on the sweatband, it is an "Exclusive Creation" for the shop and I confess that it is the first time I have come across a Panizza Sud-Ovest with its splendid brand.
The hat needs some attention because I think it's suffered quite a bit and, above all, a perfect head for its size.
