Hey guys , seal velour , is that the quality or is it actually made out of seal ? I always thought quality and finish but someone’s saying that it is actually made out of pelts the hat in question is a Tonak I’ve attached a few photos
Hello all again , hope you are all well. I've been away for a while my hat supplier was not finding much , but on Thursday I received 100KG of hats. You may have seen some on ebay already , most are not interesting but there are some nice pieces below is a Huckel Flexible
:) My supplier just dried up for years it felt like, then all of a sudden they've found more hats.
One that I though was quite nice was this black homburg, simply marked Deutschers Fabrikat
The felt is good quality it's a bit stiffer than the normal European hats , what I liked most was the...
Had these come in yesterday as part of my European delivery
First this Kronenhut Rival Homburg
This Melton hat (a UK hat made under license in Germany) I've seen the S with a hat on before but I can't remember which company it was
Then these are two Cervo Italian hats but made...
Again a 55, this has a fair amount of moth damage around the brim
Width of rim 2 1/8"
Height of crown 5 1/2" (Open crown, side measurement)
Width & Length of Head Opening 7 1/2" - 6 3/8"
It does I'll get a photo one i've conditioned the sweatbands, Ill get a few better photos in the next couple of days when I've got time to tidy them up a bit.
So my source of hats as all but dried up, I got these two in a little lot from German ebay
They grey is by Mayser, Mayser's Halloh ? Missing it's label which is a shame
The tan by Huckel Flexible
Both have some moth damage but I believe they are slightly earlier than the ones I normally get...
Fascinating as usual it's nice and small 56, always everything 56 ! I wear 59 I did get a Barbisio in the same lot which I kept for myself, my first of 2015, the paper label looked similar to a Tonak label, it quite a worn hat but it has a charming shape to it, interesting that you mentioned...
Stunning hat Steve, a find I can only dream!
I've not had any decent finds in a while, a lot of 60's Mayser and Wegener,
I picked these three out of a recent bunch the Lembert at first I though was old based on the script and the unreeded sweatband etc. but it looks to have glue marks so...
Had no real finds recently, still waiting on deliveries ... one nice thing tiny size 54cm .. this from Salzburg late 50's early 60's I'm thinking by Josef Auer ?
It's hat, there are no Japanese markings making me think it was for export, it looks similar too one of the hats in a picture because it has the distinctive bow work which is higher towards the rear of the hat, its really lightweight,
I'm not 100% where it came from I had a delivery of hats...
