Nice. I like the overwelt. No markings on the sweat?New to me Royal Stetson. I think this one's from the 40s or 50s, judging from the liner. 2 3/8" brim, crown is a little better than 5". Pics in natural and indoor light....none of them really capture the color all that well.

Thanks!
That is a beauty of a Stetson.Thanks!
Sweat is embossed Royal Stetson with the crest on one side, name of the store on the other. Two paper labels under the liner, with numbers written in pencil on them. No other labels. Size tag was missing. A lucky find, it fit me perfectly (I'm usually in the 7 3/8 to 7 1/2 range)
Any ideas as to a more accurate age appreciated.

Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
Thanks! For the compliment AND the input about the vintage.
Based on the logo on both the sweatband and liner I would say 50s. My understanding is the logo changed from stars to the leaf in 52.Thanks!

Thanks. I had read something about stars and leafs, but truthfully my glasses are getting worn out and don't work as well as they used to and I couldn't see any leafs OR stars

Very nice and interesting find, Steve. The label border is exactly the same as the one on my Germania. Size tag is the same too."Bellona", 58 cm, Back Bow, Crown Open 6 inches, Brim 2 3/4 inches, possibly 1920s. The black Wool felt easily dry creases and has a nice glow. I have few of these old Wool hats with similar paper labels but I believe this is the oldest. The Crown Patch is missing. I wasn't able to take very good photos so I will take some wearing it outdoors.
This could be a Sheep surrounded by an "F" and a "S" so possibly Friedrich W. Schneider Köln.
Open Crown
Stefan, Thanks! Yes I believe they are all the same. I also have other hats with similar paper labels and Wool felt. I followed up on the German and Austrian thread.
That's a beautiful hat. In my limited observations, older Sovereigns are rarely thin ribbons. You often see the Sovereign Twenty designation, some times with a Mode Edge. However, those normally have a wider ribbon.
That looks flawless!Emerging from my summer slumber, the temperatures are these days of 36-37 Celsius, with a new purchase
Huckel Chevreau size 59, well preserved, except the ribbon which has small spots
The hat is in perfect German tradition, very well done and with quality finishes.
It is a classic of the 60s German hats production
My dating is very empirical, but certainly my friend Steve (owner of a Huckel mine of the same type) will know how to give him an age and something else to complete the information framework
It was sold in Mulheim in the Ruhr, under the Huckel brand on the sweatband there is indicated that it is waterproof.
The dimensions are: open crown at 13 centimeters, ribbon at 4.5 and brim. edged and finished with a seam, they are 6.5 cm. The felt is of medium consistency and suede finished
Meanwhile, settle for this, as soon as it is a little cooler you will have the contents of the two boxes coming from the Netherlands, now it's too hot. Be patient
