Hückel Extra in black. Unlined, size 60 or 7 1/2 American with the raw edge brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. It weighs just 106 grams, so lightweight. I'm a bit confused by this one as there is no label inside the hat. I'm thinking it's an early Hückel Welheim, so late...

Superior silk top hat in a size 59 (7 3/8 American). Brim at 5cm and crown 14,5cm. Silk hats in larger size are extremely difficult to find. This one came with the box it was sold in as well. This is not a Gibus hat or Chapeau claque or opera hat, so no mechanism in this one. It is an original...

Barbisio Rat Gondin (nutria). Size 61 (or 7 punti) with the brim at 7cm and the crown at 12cm at the center dent. Colour is called "Tanaro". Fantastic quality hat, which is hard to find especially in this size. Full disclosure: at one point in its life the hat was hit by a small ember (I think)...

This is a question, maybe a discussion, and I hope I don't offend anyone by misspeaking, but I'm genuinely curious if anyone has considered the hat problem in the world. I don't really know where to start, but I felt that here would be the best place to discuss it. In the world, mostly...

This ebay auction is now closed, so I don't think this violates the No Live Auction Rule. Bartenders, if I'm wrong, please accept my apologies. I saw this hat on eBay and watched it until it closed. I know it's a Stetson fedora. Does it have a more precise model name than that? It's not...

I have been interested in an Akubra hat for a few years but being a tall and lanky man I always worried about what the hat would look like, would it be too tall, what would be the best hat to buy? I emailed Hats By The 100 a few times and they recommended the Territory or Riverina but after...

Good evening, I’m new to this hat making business. I’ve ordered 6 western weight 210G hat bodies(rabbit fur I think), brim cutter, brim cutler and a 58 hat block. I admire a lot of hatters yet finding resources to create and see how these are made is rather difficult. I really like the...

This hat is part of a local estate auction acquisition but it is too large to fit my head, a mid-grey Dobbs stingie brim in size 7-5/8 long oval: Specs: 2" Brim 4-1/4" Crown at the front pinch, rising to 4-5/8" 113g Weight Easy grab and go hat for the summer. Vented sweatband for...

Just wanting to find out the name for this style of hat if anyone has any idea it would be greatly appreciated.

Third one for sale is this Wegener suede finish with braided felt ribbon in a size 60 (7 1/2 American). Hard to call the colour, because it varies depending on the light from black to dark grey to dark blue. Brim at 5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. Lovely hand to the felt. This one was on...

Second one to try and scratch the itch for some larger sized gentlemen over here. Mayser fedora in brown. Size 60 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Very thin felt with a nice hand, which made me buy it. Sold by Ernst of Köln, who also sold hats under his store...

Furtex homburg in black, probably of French manufacture. Size 58, with very generous proportions for a homburg: brim at 6,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. Lovely hand to the felt and the thin brim binding which is not a common feature for European hats. Asking $60 Shipping to the US will...

On offer is this: Wilke velour called "Bürstel Electra" in blue. Fedora in size 58 with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. The label says 7, but the measurements add up to a about a size 58. Just to be clear the measurements are: front to back: 20,3cm side to...

Echter Mayser homburg in grey. Size 58 with the brim at a good 5,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. A few nicks but it seems hardly ever worn (basting stitches are still on the ribbon). The sweatband is dated 19-12-1961, which usually means the selling date. Asking $ 60 Shipping to...

If you're treating yourself, why not get this one as well: Borsalino Agave, which is a colour that eludes me in my colourblindness (beige with green and mustard tones?). Qualitá Suprema, size 58 (feels true to size) with the bound/raw brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent...

I just bought one of these Cody James Palm Leaf hats (https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-With-Tags-Cody-James-Mens-Palm-Leaf-Cowboy-Hat/113693884284) and I figured I'd run it past you all first. I know it comes cattleman but I'll just reshape it to Telescope with a Flat-Brim to fit my needs. I've...
