What Sorbatti is known for
Family hat-making house founded 1922 in Montappone, Marche by Attilio and Ester Sorbatti; now run by the third generation from a factory at Via Leopardi 18 in the town's International Hat Center, producing felt, panama, and flat-cap styles.
Sorbatti was founded in 1922 in Montappone, in Italy's Marche region, by Attilio Sorbatti and his wife Ester. Montappone and the surrounding area are historically known as one of Italy's principal hat-manufacturing districts, and Sorbatti has operated there continuously across three generations: from founder Attilio to his sons Filippo, Ermanno, and Nerino, and on to grandchildren Marco and Attilio, who run the company today. The factory operates from Via Leopardi 18, within Montappone's 'International Hat Center' industrial zone. Sorbatti produces men's and women's hats and caps, including felt hats, panamas, and flat caps, describing its process as attentive from raw-material selection through final packaging. The brand is sold through specialist hat retailers internationally, including US retailer Hats in the Belfry.
