Mayser, Panama Torino Natural.
My most resent Panama Hat. I bought this one in Munich, during a short visit some weeks a go.

C. W. Borchert Berlin W., possibly 1920s. C. W. Borchert Berlin W. was a high end hat store that sourced hats under their brand name. I know for sure that they sourced from Rehfus & Cie (Kehl a. Rhein). The internal size stamp is similar to what R. & M. Wegner used. It's made of Fur Felt and has high quality components. I found this Stiff Felt back in 2019.

This Stiff Felt came from the seller of this really fantastic P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität" Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a Homburg.

The seller was the wife of Arnulf Meifert the original drummer of the progressive Krautrock band Faust. "Dr. M" was Arnulf Meifert's father who was a well known Berlin "bon vivant" of the 1920s and 1930s.

That's another one of yours I may have to copy, Rick. I've had a pork pie on my brain for a few months now.

This old Wormser makes it into the rotation quite often. It has had many different crown shapes while in my possession. I like it's current bash and it will probably stay this way. Nice color, nice brim curl, sweet brim binding, sassy brim dip in front and a telescoping crown ala Pork Pie'ish.

Brüder Böhm Wien "Derby" possibly late 1920s early to mid 1930s. Brüder Böhm produced both Wool and Fur Felt Stiff Felts and this one is a Fur Felt. Brüder Böhm who had factories in Vienna, Austria and Neutitschein / Nový Jičín, Czechoslovakia. Great looking Form with a very tight Brim Curl. This Stiff Felt is near NOS condition. I found this Stiff Felt back in 2021.

A beauty of a bowler, Steve. Fabulous to see the never ending parade of fine bowlers.
I wore my new Resistol San Antonio this evening and I took the doggo for a walk when it cooled down a little.

Gorgeous hat!

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume" possibly later 1920s. This is a very light weight Stiff Felt that wears like a Soft Felt. Has an unusual Form. I found this Stiff Felt in 2012.
