Love the side profile. Lovely hat!

With winter fast approaching I’m about ready to start streaming the 3 seasons again. I’ll keep an eye on hats of the extras.

Hurricane Jack, Thank you!

Mayser "Grand Prix" "R", 58 cm, 154 grams, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. Made by Mayser Ulm for the Swiss market "Chapellerie Krämer Basel". Mayser Ulm Stiff Felts are difficult to find and this one is in excellent condition. I have five Mayser Ulm Stiff Felts and they all have the same width Bands and similar length Bows.

The Initials were removed.

The exterior size label is still present.

That is a great find, Steve. Gorgeous hat.

Stefan, Thank you! I was lucky to find it.

A recent find and a very pleasing one.
Tirard Supra homburg in a dark brown colour called Cacao. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Lovely hand to the felt and judging by the liner it seems to be an older one. Not that you can find newer Tirard hats: they closed down in 1956 as one of the first of many.
Sold by Chapelier Au Grand Carnot in Paris. Could not find anything on them.

A truly super find, Stefan. Congrats.

Thanks, Steve. I'm developing a soft spot for these Tirard hats.

Thanks, Steve. I'm developing a soft spot for these Tirard hats.

Especially for this price :-D

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", 58 cm, possible production year 1959. The Black Felt has a fine Smooth Finish and easily Dry Creases. As usual great Form and Component quality. The overall condition is excellent.

Open Crown

I will also post in Swiss hatters, but this came in over the weekend and I thought to share here, as well. A Swiss-made Botta hat. Not a common one hereabouts, but @Pellie does have one in gray that I see turn up every once and awhile. Very nice felt and Italian influence. No inside markings to help determine age, but since the factory closed in 1998, I'll assume it's over 27 years old.

Once again a modest sized western with a brim curl got my attention...lol Got here and its actually in really good condition... just needs a bit of brushing and a hatband. It came with one of those exploding bird feather hatbands, and even had a chunk of turquoise.... But I grew out of that back about 1980. It was just tied on and left no stains. Braided Horsehair works on it

Model tag has been removed inside but its identical in shape and styling to another Stetson Giant that I have, so Im calling it a Black Stetson 4x Giant

Correct, i have 2 of them. A light grey and a dark grey. Decent hats!

Borsalino homburg Gulaela, color Amiata. Very fine hat, but this one runs 1 size smaller, so not for my head. It's more like size 57.

 

[Pellie]

Bantam Cappellificio Cervo Welterweight homburg, color Minerva.
Very nice homburg, but came in and needed a lot of steam. I paid €7 for it, so i took the gamble.
After 1 loving steam- and brushsession it turned out to be a very nice hat.

Johann Gärner, Gärner Hüte, "9535U", Back Bow, Under Welt, 57 cm possibly early 1960s. This Form was popular Germany and Austria in the late 1950s into the 1960s. I believe this hat was made by Johann Gärner Hüte Wien although they also sourced hats. Gärner Hüte Wien goes back to the late 19th Century. There were two brothers, Georg and Johann, associated with Gärner Hüte Wien and their small factory was located at Fröbelgasse 10, Wien. I come across Gärner Hüte Wien hats often but all in very small sizes. Here is an old Georg Gärner, Gärner Wien Wool Stiff Felt I found in 2013.

Brim Up

Finally bit the ****** and picked up a Silverbelly Open Road 6X. Really happy with it so far.

Just a heads up for anyone who’s been thinking about getting one. I was told prices are going up next week. The fur Stetson sources from Canada (rabbit and beaver) is getting hit with new tariffs, and that cost is rolling into the retail pricing. Not trying to stir anything up, just passing along what the shop owner and his Stetson rep told me

Ooooh, nice! If only it were an adult size. But seriously, not formal but still nice!

Very cool find. Steam is cheap so an easy fix.
