I’m so very sorry for your losses Eric. Words don’t suffice to express the grieving heart. A loss for one here is a loss for all of us. Your sharing with us and entrusting your loss amongst us speaks highly of your kindness and consideration of family.
That hat is beautiful, Bill!!! The size, crown, color, and the block. Just great.
Gracias, José! Tienes buen gusto.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.
Great hat! Interesting color and texture...Marathon morning

Have a good day,

You are rocking the 'Rona look Reggie. Love the sage felt. I have a Strat in this color that I don't wear often enough.
Great color and details Steve. I really like that bow as well. Love the history tidbits.This week I will feature various shades of Grey German and Austrian Velours. Most will be from the 1930s.
VEB Luckenwalder Hutfabrik "Velour" possibly late 1950s. Prior to WWII Luckenwald (located ~ 50 KM south of Berlin) was the second largest hat making center in Germany behind Guben (Wilke, Berlin Gubener). Post WWII all hat factories in Luckenwald (located in the DDR/GDR) were nationalized as VEB Luckenwalder Hutfabrik. The Velour quality is fantastic especially considering the later time period. I especially like Blue Gray color and the Velour has great finish and very soft hand. This is a machine formed hat but doesn't suffer form wise.
Very unique Bow Treatment
I need a pencil curl straw! I wonder if some steam would help? Mike's straws are always very high quality.
Sharp!
Art's Dove color is the best. Sorry to hear of your family losses during this horrible time. My heart goes out to you and yours.Good morning. I wore a VS thin ribbon (dove beaver felt) for a dog soiree. The local bird residents added much needed color to the damp, cloudy morning.
Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -
Excellent crown and brim work Perry. Made my morning.
Thanks Mike!
Looks good on you, Mike. As I recall a very comfortable and soft hat.
Makes you wonder doesn't it. Same level of comfort for sure.
Simply stunningRoyal + tee.
Great looking hat, Reggie. I like that color combo.
Thanks Fabio.
Great look under the Ramenzoni today, Fabio. Classic.
I hardly dare to comment on a green hat
, but I like the look of that one, Reggie.Excellent, Steve. I find they can be a bit hit and miss, but if they're good they're very good indeed. Love the bow treatment.This week I will feature various shades of Grey German and Austrian Velours. Most will be from the 1930s.

Works well enough, David. Gives it a bit loose, bohemian feel.
Cool hat, killer tie, Fabio.
Gorgeous hat, Eric. Sorry to hear about your loss. Strength to you and yours for the coming period.Good morning. I wore a VS thin ribbon (dove beaver felt) for a dog soiree. The local bird residents added much needed color to the damp, cloudy morning.

Mike, Thank you! Great looking Hut-Schick Homburg from you yesterday! Here is a photo of the Hut -Schick Alserbachstrasse 12. Wien location (1935). My guess is your Homburg is post WWII possibly 1950s. From what I can remember I couldn't find any details on their hat making capabilities so possibly sourced.
