Okay good. I asked because I really like the result of the block shape and crease.
Thanks! I love this weathered look. I attempted to make the brim look a bit uneven as well. A story behind the hat, its been somewhere. I probably have more pictures of it in my store (not trying to push you there). It's the honestly the type of hat I want to wear myself. Just did not make one for me yet. I fit better in a shorter brim. Will try to make one with a 6 cm brim instead and slightly shorter sides.

Jim, thanks! I was wondering how they did that. This seems to be the most efficient way to do it.@steur
A couple more pics. The first shows the wafering in the brim edge. The second shows some lighter grey on the underside of the brim exposed by moth grazing. It looks like dirt or a stain, but it's not. It's the lighter color peeking through.

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau", 58cm probably late 1950s early 1960s. This one is in NOS condition. I have a "Chamois" with a similar small Blue Jay(?) feather so not sure if they came with the hats.

Yeah, it makes sense now that I see it. Before I got it, I half assumed it would be sewn together, like dualist.

Always impressed with your offerings, Steve but this one really grabbed my attention. Beautiful.

I was thinking the same thing. I usually don't care for feathers on hats, but every great once in a while they look just right and that's certainly the case with this beautiful Hückel.

Wow, thats nice. Can you feel the two letters from the sweatband when you wear the hat? Looks like they are sticking out a bit. Interesting design.

New to me, Stetson Cavalry, got it in bad shape, after some TLC it shows it's DNA.

Thanks! I can't feel the letters when I wear the hat. I guess they could be an issue if they are touching skin directly. I can't remember seeing any placed at the front of the sweatband. These letter pins were popular and are still in use today in Germany and other European countries. They were also used in America up to the 1920s maybe a bit later. Personally I would rather not have them or any initial on the sweatband but with Vintage / Antique Hats you have to take what you are dealt.

Very interesting, I have not seen the style before. Thanks for sharing, I keep learning a lot from you.

New to me Knox Twenty Five. To my surprise when I opened the box... It's a long hair. Never had one before. Anyone have a guess as to age on this hat? This is like a furry new animal to me. I'm thinking I should give it a name and have it flea dipped.

Alright, I can't be the only one who saw all the NOS Selco hats on eBay. They were listed as the seller's grandfather's stock from a defunct New York hat store. These were mostly Hückel / Tonak / Selentino. The one I bought was purported to be from the 1950s and was new in the box. As they had one in 7 5/8 I bit. Hey, I'm also supporting four Nigerian princes.
The hat arrived and it's a bit of a mystery. The brim is approximately 2 5/8" and it is indeed a new open crown hat. I don't normally go for black fedoras (Homburgs are a different story), but I kind of like this mystery hat.
Now because it's me, there must be some issue and indeed there is. This is a tight fitting 7 5/8 and now I have to decide if I should pass it on or if I can stretch it just a bit. I'm holding off on creasing it until I decide its fate.
If anyone out there knows anything about these hats I'd love to hear from you.
