Borchert Berlin W., back of sweatband stamped August 6, 1952. Worn "Camber" style Brim Up. Could have been made by Rehfus & Cie. (Kehl a. Rhein) after factory reopened in 1951. Also the Borchert Berlin W. store location changed after WWII because the original location was in the Soviet sector. Found this Soft Felt back in 2011
This is retail store that had a house brand. According to this 1913 ad Rehfus & Cie (Kehl a. Rhein) made hats under the Borchert Marke. I have no idea if they were the only supplier and how long the relationship latest with Borchert.
First-class German-made product!

It’s been troublesome like that, lots of uploading errors recently. Not sure why really.

Does anyone know if there’s a general sunglasses forum on here somewhere?
I’ve found a small number of specific threads, but nothing comprehensive like if we wanted to learn about sunnies the way we have about hats, or a WSAYWT that I can find.
They have been the new object of my collecting gene recently.

@Hurricane Jack , I believe, from seeing his posts, is a bit of a collector. He may know something about that.

Yowza!!! Another truly stunning week's worth of finery, Stefan! I'm choosing the Morreton as #1, the Borsalino Vaiato as #2, and the Lees as #3, but almost ANYTHING in this week's lineup could step into any ranking. Wonderful showing!

Herbert Johnson - Soft Bowler
Warm Grey Felt
4 1/2 Soft Round Crown
d'Orsay Curl Brim 1 7/8 front/back 1 1/2 Sides
1 inch charcoal grosgrain ribbon
As our friend/lounge alumni Brent has said.. “sometime a hat just speaks to me” That was certainly the case with this Herbert Johnson soft bowler. It caught my attention with its warm toned grey felt and darker charcoal binding on its d'Orsay Curl Brim. Based on its pictures I was kinda envisioning a bit more of a soft homburg kinda crown but in person it is in fact a bowler shaped crown but still soft and shapeable. I imagine at a time when soft felts were becoming more and more popular while stiff felts/bowlers were still a bit of a standard especially in the British market this Soft Bowler made for a bit of a crossover. That said.. I’m quite pleased with it for two reasons… first it finally checks off the box of grey bowler. Second… the Soft Bowler designation makes it quite an interesting piece, an example of which I had not come across previously. And it’s a Herbert Johnson to boot. I’m no expert on dating HJ hats but the 38 New Bond Street puts it squarely in the rather broad range of 1895 and 1975. The notation on the liner By Appointment to Her Royal Majesty The Queen Royal Hatters puts us about 1953 or later. It certainly looks like the quality of hats we often see from the 1950s so that would be my guess. If you’ve ever had the urge to reach up and squeeze a pinch in the front of a bowler… this is the hat for you!
