I gave myself a present for Santa Lucia who is the bearer of gifts since I was a child.
She usually arrives on December 13th, but the courier did not have time to wait and so she arrived early

Panizza Special size 59

It is a warehouse stock that appeared on Etsy and for my great love of the historical production of Panizza, on Lago Maggiore, I bought it

I'm happy because for some time I wanted a Panizza with this shape and I found it in green and with an incredible felt

I have other Panizza, but none with a finish of the brim like this and a crown so full. I'm happy

Thank you for your likes on M. Hutter's hat.
I will return, as promised, on that and on this with a photographic service dedicated to them
Looks good on you, Daniele (as does the smile).

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Based on seeing yours Bowen, I believe these are original. To me eye, my ribbon looks a bit more goldish brown color.
If I remember:rolleyes: I'll try to get a pic of it in the next couple of days.
Thanks Perry.
Yeah, i know that goldish tint with age you’re speaking of. I like them too. Some can be quite stunning!
Guess i just have a hard time wrapping my head around guys saying “yeah, gimme one with rose ribbons” back in the 40s-50s. Idk

Hey Red:
I can’t really answer that. I just assumed the rose was age related patina. Idk
Hopefully others can chime in.

Ps: quick edit after seeing the Angora. I been missing seeing that one for awhile. I do so look forward to seeing it. Such a unique hat.

Thanks Bowen. The number of pink bindings we see on the older hats made me wonder. Sounds like a good theory. The floppy Angora will be seeing some more head time this week, it is going to be cold!! The color is a chameleon, it looks a little on the brown side in photos, but is called Misto Grigio (misty gray?)

FWIW, the ribbon on the Demon is definitely not patina.

It was fun pulling this one out today. I haven't worn it in several weeks, and the last time I had it out, I worked it to an open crown, steamed and brushed it, removed any ghost creases, and boxed it up. So when I got this out of the box, it was like pulling out a new hat. A little steam and a new crease and off to work I go.

Misto is "mixto" in Spanish, "mixed", in English.
