Happy Birthday Charlie. That is a marketable idea - edible hats! Grand milan with the "panama crease."

Well, now you can truly say, you'd eat your hat.
Thanks, Steve. Surprising how many brands were used back then. And not just for any kind of hat; they are usually great quality too.
Fabulous, Bill. You'll make him nervous with a hat of that calibre.
Easy going hat, by the looks of it, Mike. We all need some.
I think that blue ribbon works very well with this hat, Steve. Great form as well.This week I will feature P. & C. Habig Wien & Berlin Hats. The hats will be from the 1920s up to the 1950s.
P. & C. Habig Wien "Spezial Qualität", possibly early 1920s but could be older. The hat was missing the liner (assuming it had one) and ribbon / bow so had it restored by Optimo Chicago (they no longer provide this service). I decided to go with a less traditional look with blue ribbon and bow design (not sure this was a good idea in retrospect). The Velour is a of a heavier weight but amazingly soft and pliable. The Velour quality definitely is "Spezial" with high gloss and dark as night. It's very difficult to photograph because it absorbs so much light. Great Form with a Curled Brim so worn as shown here. This hat was an export to Riga and that was also the sellers location. I found this hat back in February 2012.

Excellent, David. Really like the head band.
Impeccable, Fabio.
Lovely hat, Eric. Gorgeous weave.Dog walk, run and now relaxing with some coffee. Humid weather finds me wearing a vintage Stetson panama. This unique straw hat has a mesh lining and then a solid liner top. Very comfortable.
I did wear the hat backwards puttering about. It has been a long time since I have worn a hat back to front.
Cheers. Starting the day backwards, Eric -
Just a small slice for me, thank you, Charlie. Congrats!

Stefan, Thanks! I was thinking traditional yesterday. I agree with you and Joe. It will go back in storage until Winter.
Great to see the ESKO "Velour"! Ernst Köln sold a lot of hats, branded and under their label. They also acquired the Möckel trademark in the mid 1960s.

Ps:
Hat’s off to your daughter’s baking skills. I made a tofu turkey one Thanksgiving for my vegetarian daughter....looked like a squashed frog.

Thanks Stefan.
Another nice example of a somewhat misleadingly branded German hat.
Thanks,
Michael

I see I need to do a little work on the ribbon attachment.
