Nice Habig Manfred, the ventilation system looks "cool". I like the sweat too, it has a nice patina but still looks solid. Congrats!

Thanks, Steve. He is indeed a very high class hat. I am very happy with this hat. The felt is great. This Vent system is amazing! Good to hear that it does its work!
By the way! Also new. Two for one ( 1,00 EUR ) http://www.ebay.de/itm/150963433080...SlI=&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true

Mike, thanks my friend. I love this hat. Could be one of my favorite hats.

Checking your link now, thanks!

The problem is the dollar is fairly week against the EURO so you are going pay more for a Mayser. I have a couple new Mayser fur felts for sale (sizes 57, 60cm). The price is close to wholesale.

Also as Manfred mentioned you can look for vintage hats on eBay.

Manfred, Great two for one pickup for 1 EURO! I am sure you will bring them back to life.

 

[Chepstow]

Steve, thanks my friend, I will do my best! Package is on the way! I hope the chamois Hückel fits with, size 55.

Those both look promising Manfred. I really like the gray one.

Perry, thank you very much!

Steve, wonderful. I like it, really.

The Hückel's are arrived yesterday.

The gray one is a Chamois and the flecked felt is a Hückel Clipper Pork Pie.
Both hats are very dirty and stained.
After a good brushing and spraying with a special mix of alcohol and water, I could remove most of them with a rag. I believe, If I would soak the hat, it would be come out like new. The Clipper liner is very soiled. I has to remove it.
Unfortunately, the print of the liner of the Chamois taken Damage.

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, Looks like they had some heavy use but you got them for a super deal. The Hückel's Clipper are really fun hats. The Chamois has a really great look. The ribbon width and bow design are fantastic!

 

[hatophile]

Wow, that gray one is a beauty. I'm sure you will give it new life! The porkpie is cool too, I like the flecked fur.

 

[Chepstow]

Steve and Perry, thanks so much, Gentlemen.

 

[mikespens]

I know your standards for condition are very high Manfred but I think most Loungers would agree those are nice vintage hats. I have to agree with you that soiled liners are icky though! My Lock & Co was that way and a gas bath made it kutie free and wearable again. Beautiful felt on your Clipper and you wear it well as evidenced by your post on the WHAYWT thread. Prost!

 

[Chepstow]

Mike, my friend! Thank you very much and thanks for the tip with the gas bath. I like the Hückels, both.
The Clipper is a very nice hat. Not my first Pork Pie, but the only one, who looks not bad on me. haha.

Splinter, very nice Trachten hat. A good Lembert. From where do you have it?

 

[splintercellsz]

My father picked it up from a local auction business. Way too small for my noggin (not my type of hat anyway). I have no idea on what it is. Just thought I would take some pictures of it, and try to aid him in finding out some info (posted the same pics in the dating thread), for when he pute it on ebay.

 

[Chepstow]

This hat is a Tyrolian or Alpine hat from Lembert. Looks like late 60s to early 70s.
Look here, on Steve's site. http://germanaustrianhats.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/13-kr-lembert-hutfabrik/
