Out back today with a radial arm saw, air nailer and a Hemp Stratoliner making some man- glitter (sawdust) and pretending to be a carpenter. Replacing some rotted boards and trim out on the patio. Little bit of caulk, paint and plywood, and soon no one will know I was in there.

The Hemp holds up pretty well when you climb up a ladder and back into the moving ceiling fan lol. A brim really helps keep sawdust out of the eyes when working overhead.

Got a couple more hours to go today.... taking an A/C and rum break inside for a bit. heat index 103 right now and really humid.

Wearing a KTG Roadstar today before it got way too hot and I switched to hemp. Not bad for my first fur felt hat. In ***metal w/ Navy blue ribbon.

I love the history here, but especially in that hat box. Very cool find.

Thank you!

Gorgeous hat, Steve. Certainly looks like a German hat. Panizza had a trademark called Panfilo. Edit: I knew I had seen that little emblem before. It is a Mayser. I have a Mayser Alster with the same emblem: View attachment 798621

Stefan, Thanks! Great observation! I have a couple Mayser sold by Ernst Köln that have the same emblem.

Brüder Böhm "Lido" possibly later 1930s. This is a stiffer Soft Felt Hat that is very light in weight / 100 grams. The Form was popular in the time period and place. This hat was part of my May 2016 NOS Czech find.

External B. B. Size Tag that was on this Soft Felt. The bottom of the discolored portion was folded 90 degrees and slid under the bottom of the Band/Ribbon.

My 2016 NOS Czech find also included this B. B. Hat Holder.
