It definitely adds a unique look to the hat! Very cool! Love the hat!It is part of what they referred to as Comfit or in this case Headspring. Meant to make the sweatband fit more comfortably.

Nathan, dittoThis work week is pretty light for me. Yesterday was off, today I only have a few hours of prep work to do in anticipation of the government reopening. Tomorrow is my regular day off and I don't know if we will even work on Friday (we might just start back up next Monday if the government comes back on line).
Long story short: it's a real treat this week to enjoy the cool mornings under a warm hat.

Nice Jeff! Is that the Stetson Royal version?
It is the Royal version. Found practically unworn, sold by Goodwill via auction.Nice Jeff! Is that the Stetson Royal version?
I can definitely recommend the Royal De Luxe version if you find one for less than $200 new. It comes open crown and the felt is really very nice. I actually got mine from Walmart of all places for like $150. But the sweatband does not have the swanky airplane print yours has!
Enjoy your morning, sir!

Eric, I'm always amazed by the beauty and quantity of your hats. The sky is a plus.Good morning folks. Last night was cold and a red hued cap was a grand choice. It coordinated well with the evening sky.

Nice addition Daniele.A new addition to the collection in the Western Veneto region.
It's well known that I have a penchant for black hats, and this one was a gamble that almost paid off.

Sold as a size 61 hat with no name, the manufacturer's name, Huckel, and the shape of the lettering on the lining reminded me of some of Steve's other hats (mayserwegener).

I liked it, and so I received a Huckel "Flexible" - "Skin" in a lightweight, foldable felt, which is gorgeous.

It's a size 58, and, as is often the case with Central European hats, I can wear it occasionally. This one fits my head well, even if it's a little tight.
It has a date stamped on the paper label: March 24, 1954. Everything else is on the lining.
