Hückel Weilheim, probably late 1950s early 1960s. A gift from Daniele back in 2016. Very unique + fantastic felt for a Homburg.

You really came out great with this pork pie. I only wish for such a find around here. The back bow and that taper to the crown just cries for the upturned brim.
Thanks Red. I tried it brim down, but for the moment brim up feels better.

I continue with the series of heather felts bought in France

This magnificent example has no name only bears the inscription inside the dome "feutre de poli" which signifies fur felt

Like the others it seems to have been partially finished

The seller attributes it to one of the great producers, Bouteille, of Chazelles sur Lyon, historical disrtict of the French hatters

The felt, long-haired, is a melange of fur and wool with the shades you see well in this photograph

The felt is thick and very malleable and the ribbon of exquisite workmanship, even if a little curled by bad storage

Buon mercoledì!
A great thank for your likes on the yesterday heather felt
Wow, Daniele. Another beautiful French heather. Fantastic looking hat.

Michael, the Worsmer is to die for! Great ensemble today!
Thanks Doug. A last day of full on summer, so a last summer look. You've been showing off some stellar hats lately.

I took a trip south today, Mike Miller says Hi! Left the house in a Barbisio and came home in a new Navy Longhair with super duper gills. More pictures in the appropriate threads later.

Dang, that's a fine looking hat. Can't wait to see that one on the head more.

Paris accord... jacket by Lanvin, hat by Stetson. Some unusual finishing trim in this depression era real nutria quality. The pitch on the sweatband stitching is about as fine as it gets. For you old timers, this hat was originally gleaned from eBay by eagle-eyed FL member Zetwal. I purchased the hat from him.

Nice Resistol! Looks like new. This isn’t the 100 is it?
Ok...can’t help myself.
Hufvud...sweet!
Mustache...is it getting darker or is it just my monitor??
Lastly...you do the BOB pretty good!!

:) My mustache, like all my hair, is getting lighter/grayer by the day. I need some of whatever Terry
Very nice Brent, Is the felt as fine as it looks?

Hey, Richard. The felt on this hat is very soft. It’s the softest custom hat I own. None of my custom beaver fur felts are anywhere near as soft (the beaver do have a nicer hand).
