Spring wanted you to hang on to those great felts a bit longer!

Trip to PDX to drop off my research paper proposal for my professor. Russian History, I'm doing a 25 pager about the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and the global peace movement led by Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling. I have access to his papers, lots of hand written correspondence to JFK and Khrushchev. Wearing my Hückel Special from the mid 1950s. Sold in the shop of the "Flying Finn" Paavo Nurmi.
I need to do some serious catching up, but the hat game is strong with my friends over the past 48 hours!!!

Springtime is speed up here in the north east part of Italy

The last chance to show this Super Flechet Century

High end formal hat made by Flechet expressly for "A. Meer" Strasbourg

Black with a unique shape as some others French hats from the period, around 1950

The felt is fantastic soft with a shining finish with short hair

The ribbon has the basting stitches because it arrived new from Strasbourg

The felt has many changes in shades when in light or in the shadow

Label under the sweatband gives indications about works

Flechet brand in deep gold and black
Thanks for the likes and have a nice day wearing super hats!

Glorious felt, Daniele!

Hey folks!
A slightly wonky brimmed Pilgrim on a pleasant afternoon.

Have a great day!

Not wonky: panache!

Thanks Stefan! Your hat/tie/scarf combos are spot on! (at least a couple of those have spots...)

Alan, Great to see this fantastic A. P. Velour from the original factory. As you know I have the liner plate.

That color is wonderful! I like the contrasting ribbon, is it as dark brown as it looks?

Thanks!! Yes. It does.. I find the color to difficult to describe. It does look brown. Given the age of the piece, it's difficult to tell the color. Vintage ribbon colors are a challenge for me. But it works!

Amazing hat, Steve. Is it really blue, or is that my screen?

Another gorgeous hat.

That looks like a floating fit attachment. I don't recall seeing that on a Stetson felt hat. Very neat.

Thanks Steve... about the coolest thing in the world. We will have to get these two survivors together at some point down the road.
