Very cool find, Steve. Vienna might have had the market for tuxedo/smoking hats (it likely still has).
Stefan, Thanks again! This hat was sold in Graz, Austria. The seller said it belong to her great grandfather who was an orchestral violinist in the Graz Philharmonic. I was thinking he might have worn it to and from performances.

Anton Pichler Graz, 58cm, possibly a rebuild or new hat from the later 1950s. There is no paper label and the Sweatband is from probably a later 1920s J. Hückel´s Söhne "Standard". The Reed covering on the Sweatband is a similar color to Felt so it's possible this was later rebuild of old J. Hückel´s Söhne "Standard" or the old J. Hückel´s Söhne "Standard" Sweatband was installed in a new hat. The Sweatband also has a Ludwig Skrivanek Graz Hat Fashion House mark. This hat belonged to the owner of the Collins Wien "Luxus Prima Smoking Hat". The Seller said her Great Grandfather, the owner, was born in the early 1900s. The greenish gray Felt is of a heaver weight but still easily dry creases. It has a really nice minimalistic Bow design. This is definitely unique / head scratching find which makes it all the better in my mind. :)

I've got a great Akubra work hat.
And a nice stetson dress hat. Realized I didn't have a leisure hat for those in between times when I'm out working or dressing up.
Enter the stetson Morgan or "vector one" in sage green.
This was my first online purchase, the brim came a little wonky as you can see in the first pic. I'm a brim up guy so hopefully I can fix it. Until I try the fix I flipped that part down for some swagger

That diamond pork pie though....

Awaiting the arrival of a rare gem. Stetson Stratoliner with a Xmas themed box. Seller claims its color gray with very light mint green tones. The price was no option as I would consider this the 'Holy Grail' of Strats (only one I own!).













Wow! The hat and the box are super finds. It’s always inspiring to see these gems in the larger sizes. Way to go, Doc!
