Anyone tried a hybrid square crease/Cattleman on their Akubra camp draft?

Warm enough to wear a Knox Westlite. I actually worked up a sweat under the brim of a Knox Westlite.

This minty vintage hat has been in a stack of 7 green hats that have been waiting for me to steam, brush and set on the wooden block. It shows the line of the hat that was inside it. When I take a brush to it in the sunlight I can see lots of dust coming off the felt. The sweat needs a wipe and leather treatment. Should be back to minty condition after my efforts.

Knox has very "tidy" interiors.

The weather in my neighborhood is back to hat wearing temps. I am pleased to be able to contribute brim pics.

Best, Eric -

Hückel "Wien" possibly early 1950s and a recent arrival.

J. Hückel´s Söhne promo pocket mirror, probably 1930s. The above Hückel "Wien" Liner logo is based on this earlier JHS design.

Great looking flat brim Hückel, Steve.

Classic grey felt with a black ribbon always works.
