Mark, Thank you! The felt is very thin / light in weight. This Soft Felt is from my 2021 NOS find (9 total) that came from the Julius Reiter Eger (Czechoslovakia) hat store. The seller was out of Germany.

Ive been a big fan of the LLBean-Moose River / Cabelas Three Forks hats for years. Pretty sure they were the same hat...a decent Royal fur felt at an inexpensive pricepoint. Bought my first Moose River at Miller Hats in Houston about 1973.
This morning Im heading out with the loose Three Forks that I was working on yesterday. Ive got it shrunk down just about a full size so it doesnt slide around so bad anymore. Put a little spacer in for the morning but Ill see if I can get a hair more shrinkage and get it right without anything under the sweat today. This ones got one of the cheap man made sweatbands thats getting kind of stiff. Been thinking of replacing with a decent real leather band before Im done with it. ( sometimes I just cant leave well enough alone lol)

It's a grey overcast day here @ Rock Bottom and I'm making the best of it under the cover of my new Stetson 25 Open Road originally sold by Ring & Brewer in Dallas, Texas. Most of my other Open Road hats have between 2-3/4 to 2-7/8 inch brims but this one is a whopping 3 inches. Must be a Texas thing.
Bwahahahaha !!

The way that Stetson absorbs and reflects differing light hues makes for a very attractive hat, indeed.
Giving the bespoke Gamble & ***n another airing. It was a request by my lady. She loves the colour of this particular hat, It inspired her with colour choice when she made the shirt and trousers.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden" possibly late 1920s. This one is from my 2016 NOS Czech find.
August Hückel House, Wien (Vienna) I., Concordiaplatz 3., Architects Clauss & Gross of Vienna (1886). I found this print in 2017.
This is what the house (actually a building) looks like today.
Translation of the above article.
The Goods and Residential House of Mr. August Hückel
Corner of Heinrichsgasse, Concordiaplatz and Salzgries in Vienna.
By the architects' Claus and Gross in association with the k. k. Senior engineer August Hückel
(For this purpose telephone number 63-66)
By the demolition of the former so-called salt-grief barracks. Building plots were created in Vienna, which are particularly suitable for the installation of residential and Waarenhäusern due to their location in a distinct business district.
Mr. August Hückel, manufacturer in Neutitschein, acquired the corner seat to the west of this newly created group against the Heinrichsgasse and the Concordiaplatz, which, incidentally, was so unfavorably parceled out that it had been unusually difficult to devalue a reasonably good I'lan for to create this construction site.
The client initiated a competition among some architects. The fact that all the plans had to show chic, irregular rooms as a result of the parcel figure was self-evident. We undertook primarily to redesign the parcelling, which considerably improved the basic form and created a more dignified, better situation with regard to the Concordiaplatz. This idea was submitted to the municipal council of the city of Vienna and finally found its approval after many efforts. The applause of the builder, however, she had won in the "mass. that it was mainly due to these circumstances that our plan was recognized as the best among the competitors, and that the construction was transferred to us.
The house, whose purpose is that of a residential and at the same time warehouses, contains a basement, ground floor, Untertheilung and four floors. The basement, the ground floor, the Untertheilung and the first floor are for business purposes, the three upper floors are used as living quarters. The business and warehouse rooms are interconnected by stairs and elevators, and are accessed both directly from the street through the sales vaults and from the two main entrances in the house.
On the ground floor is also the caretaker's apartment. From the two main entrances, one of which is accessible from the entrance to Heinrichsgasse and the other from the entrance to the salt marshes, one enters the apartments and, as has already been mentioned, also the business premises.
A part of the large court, which is delimited by iron-bound wooden walls and covered with a glass roof, serves as a commodity magazine.
A special value was on the way through. solid construction laid. For example, the basement, the parterre, the sub-division and the first floor are vaulted on traverses; the remaining ceiling constructions are made of wood.
All walls were covered with a layer of asphalt under the basement, and the outer walls of the lanes were covered with asphalt from the Isolirschichte to below the pavement.
The basement rooms were given a 6-inch concrete underlay and an asphalt pavement connected to the Isolirschichte.
The execution of the masonry took over Mr. Baumeister Alois Schumacher, who had to overcome very difficult foundations. In fact, groundwater had been found during the excavation of the foundation, which could only be pumped out with the help of locomotives in the longer term. It then had to be buried under all the foundation walls at a height of three feet, before it was possible to proceed with complete certainty to the construction of the masonry.
Despite this unwelcome delay, the construction, which began in April 1881, was passed on to its purpose in May 1882.
Among the executing forces are particularly to call: the companies A. Wasserburger, k. k. Hof-Steinmetz-master, and the First Austrian Door, Window and Floor Factory Company.
In addition to carpentry work, the latter also provided all the foot and parquet floors. The locksmith work, as well as the iron trusses was supplied by master locksmith Ludwig WiIheIm. The sculptural work was done by Mr. Johann Hutterer.
The paintings, especially of the vestibule, are very tastefully executed by the successors of Mr. Georg Gläser."

@mayserwegener - you've inspired me. My two purchases today were both Hückels, including one coming from France that was originally sold in Bern, Switzerland and one that is a specialty item that is no longer made, but is well-know in the Chassidic Jewish community as the "Hückel Hat". Of course I will post in the appropriate forum when the arrive (separately).
