Now that hat is proportioned to your size, Brent!
Stefan, Thank you! Super to see the Franz Richter & Söhne Dresden "Marke Tell" Back Bow Wool Soft Felt! It's a great candidate for a Crease Clip!
You look great in this Western Brent. I wish I could pull this look off. It suits you so well.
Two perfect Stetsons Eric. Love the vents in the Bantam.Wearing an unlined Stetson Bantam this afternoon. On the tree branch behind me is an unlined Playboy.
The hats are nearly the same in details and construction.
Cheers, Eric -
Great name for a hat! Elekron! Sounds like a superhero, of which you are Steve.This week I will feature the C. G. Wilke Guben, Germany Hat Factory. Founded by Carl Gottlob Wilke in 1822 Guben, Germany. He invented the weather-proof wool hat and was a major contributor in the mechanization of hat making. C. G. Wilke manufactured both Wool and Fur (including Velour) Soft and Stiff Felt Hats. C. G. Wilke Factory was severely damaged during WWII. Guben was the largest hat making center in Germany up to WWII but was heavily damaged during the war. What remained of the Guben Hat Industry infrastructure after WWII was nationalized as VEB United Hutwerke Guben (Guben was located in the GDR).
C. G. Wilke "Elite" "Elektron" made for Deutcher Hut - Vertrieb Kiel, 157 grams possibly late 1920s. This is Wool Stiff Felt so an example of C. G. Wilke Guben Factory Wool Felt production. As mentioned above they produced both Wool and Fur Soft and Stiff Felt Hats and Hat Stumps / Bodies.

Love your crowns Perry. This one is really special.
I like your style young man! Great looking jacket and finish on that lid. Impressive!
Do what you gotta do to get through Max. I should have such problems...
Really cool Stefan. What kind of age to this one? Did I send you that hat clip?
One nice thing about the Rosebud s you can wear it while you're out there floating around.....and it will still look great when you come out of the water. Those hats seem to be fairly indestructable.
Great looking Disney. Hope Mugsy has a speedy recovery.
Thank you sir. Much appreciated
