The HDR effect makes it more defined than it looks to the eye. Its just a quick dry bash but I think I will fire up the steamer and try to set it more defined like the pic above.
Good plan, Scooterz. That bash looks cool on your Acubra.
Crofut and Knapp. Very thin felt.

No... I just buy them, especially when they seem old, but I don't read a lot about 'em. One thing I do know is how difficult they are to find. C&Ks are hard to find, so I guess they're old. I have also gotten good at knowing which felts are good. This hat's felt is good. A lot like a Cross Country's.
Very nice hat. She has good taste and she probably knows you couldn't refuse, Doug
It is a very good looking hat, Steve. Great find. Blue homburgs: can't go wrong with them.Mayser "Supra", measures 58.5 cm possibly originally early 1950s or older. The sweatband was replaced a while ago and I am not sure about the ribbon bow. I couldn't find any paper label and the store comes up blank on searches. The dark blue felt is fantastic and I really like the form. It's actually a really great looking hat.
Open Crown
Seems the bug has gotten hold in a big way. As far as addictions go this one of the better ones to have. Cool colours on those hats.The addiction is real. Just added a Moonstone Akubra Stylemaster to the herd. [emoji106][emoji41][emoji145]. Moonstone, Acorn Fawn and Carbon Grey.

She does know how to model those hats, Georg. Great pics. How come she doesn't want the hats? Takes after her mother maybe?
You keep finding these wonderful hats, Max. Impressive bloodhound abilities you seem to possess for them.Crofut and Knapp. Very thin felt.

Love the Martin!!
Huber Velvet in grey. Size 57 with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown 10cm at the center dent. It insisted on this teardrop crown, so I left it there. Very nice hat actually with high quality finishing. Too roomy for me unfortunately (sometimes these 57 sized hats fit me). From Steve's website I found that Aurel Huber was mainly a straw hat manufacturer, but did felts as well. Very well I'd say.
Martora felts are nice and thin. Beautiful color, Esteban.
This was kind of a cool find. Not perfect, but still.
Hückel Alpha in a size 58. Lovely grey/silver velour hat with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. The hand of the felt is just awesome. It has lost its liner somewhere along its history, the ribbon has some markts and the reed has come through in the front, but the sweatband is still supple (I did treat it with some conditioner though). Doesn't take away from the quality and it's all minor as soon as you touch that felt. Sonderanfertigung (specially made for) for Carl Zeumer. Sweatband mentions Pfau-Feinhaar (meaning Peacock finehair). Don't know what that refers to.
