I think it's great! One of my favorite hat colors.

Very nice green color.

That's a nice lid, Johnny. I think we all hope to stumble onto bargains like that. Congrats!

Nice work on that no-name, JD. Does your wife have any "moss green" shoes or purses? Just curious.

Mayserwegener, that Huckel has some stylish lines!

Man, that's a great lid!

+1. The tucked ribbon is fantastic... along with everything else about this hat.

Johnny: Welcome, and congratulations on a great purchase and fine job with the hat's rejuvenation.


Steve: Beautiful. That ribbon is the very essence of class.

Wow. Steve, that is a grand hat. I can see that hat cutting some enormous style with many of the sport jackets in my closet. I like the hats dimensions and style. The ribbons folds are clean and add to the clean striking features. It makes a profound statement with such little fuss. Cheers for you and your hat sir.

Very nice Steve. Would you say that is an olive color on the Huckel?

 

[mayserwegener]

Eric, Thanks! Perry, Thanks! I guess it could be a shade of olive or maybe loden. It does change some based on the lighting conditions.

Nice Steve, very nice Hückel, with a super fur felt. How much Hückel you have Steve?

Respectfully submitting my Adam Executive in an olive green. I am a small guy, but the "larger features" of the hat stands tall and still works.

The olive green can go from dark to almost a taupe color dependent on the directness of natural light. This 50's hat is just fun to wear. The widder ribbon around the crown matches the bigger dimensions of the hat well. The bound edge is well proportioned. The designer did well. The felt, while being firm still maintains a softer look. The softer open look is the bit "fluffier" work to the felt. The less dense felt offers a real subtlty that I enjoy. Certainly not an expensive hat in its time, 50's, but a fine lid.

Fun hat. Thanks for allowing me to share. Eric -

Green can be such a wonderful color for a hat! Or a terrible one... Your Adam definitely falls in the first category, Eric! The larger proportions only add to the executive flair, for someone higher up the food chain, powerful and important!

I will have to count. My avatar photo is an old green JHS (also posted in this thread).

Eric, Super Adam Executive!

Eric, I am somewhat vertically challenged as well, but I find I'm liking higher crowns and wider brims lately.
I think that Adam fits you fine.
