Don't know why I missed these, Bill, but these are superb hats! Congrats are in order. The lighter coloured one is my favourite: quite rare those.
Borsalino lobbia/homburg in black. Brim at 5,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. No quality designation for this one. At 140 grams not a lightweight hat. The label indicates an early to mid-sixties hat. Unusual is the sweatband on this one, which has a different imprint than other Borsalinos, probably because the band itself is more narrow and wouldn't have had enough room for the angled imprint that is the standard for the brand.

Anyone who knows anything about this brand?
Pellie, not a brand I'm familiar with. Do you have access to better photos? If it's something you're thinking of buying, buy it cheap.

I bought it for 25 euro's including sghipping. I think it's a fair price. When i received it, i will post some pictures of it.
Sounds like a good buy. Looking forward to more photos.

Daniele, It's fantastic!
Never seen the brand before, but at that price it's always worth a go. Should clean up nice.

I agree with Steve's assessment!
While we're doing well with the homburgs, let's keep going. I actually forgot I won this until the package showed up. It caught my eye because of the way the felt looked (and it was cheap). It doesn't disappoint.
Hückel Melé homburg in a dark grey heather felt with a semi-longhair finish. Brim sits at 5,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. There is more taper than usual on this hat, which is why I put these old-fashioned looking side pinches in it. Gorgeous hand to the felt and the liner is still sewn in. It doesn't have the usual Hückel Welheim size tag and hanging cord. Early sixties would be my guess.

That is one great catch, Stefan. There is so much to love about it that it's hard to know where to start.
Just goes to show, Hückels never disappoint.

Forgot to mention, I love the umbrella over the top hat logo [emoji4]

I had the same hat, but it was a little too tight for my head, so it is now in the huge Steve collection, maybe he will show up

PUR POIL is French for PURE FUR/HAIR
Could it be a Canadian Brand?

Okay thanks.
Canadian brand? I really don't know, could be. I never heard of Cauly's, but the quality is really good. Bought it for 25 euro's, so it's a bargain i think.
