J. .Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", possibly 1930s. The smooth finish black felt is light in weight and very pliable. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, and liner piping are more inline with JHS Stiff Felts. The overall condition is excellent. I found this Soft Felt back in 2017.

I haven't encounter any hat company having hanging cords as early as JHS so JHS may have been the first. I believe this is only one I have with a barbed knot.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Grand-Prix Paris" Display, possibly 1920s - 1930s. Found this back in 2018.

Branded Bantam it has all the characteristics of a hat from Central Europe
View attachment 654571
but I have never encountered this brand that was used by the Cappellificio Cervo and by Stetson

This time I'm posting a photo of the paper label and lining, so Steve (mayserwegner) can give us precise information. Thanks

The hat is a magnificent short-haired midnight blue velour and is built with solid components.

Daniele, Super! "M. W., B." is "Max Wiess, Berlin". Here is a similar paper label.
