P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität" Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a possibly early to mid 1930s. It was made specially for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII and is NOS condition. I found this Homburg Hat back in 2019.
The seller of this Homburg is the wife of Arnulf Meifert the original drummer of the progressive Krautrock band Faust. They live in a castle / schloss in Bavaria that belonged to her family. "Dr. M" was Arnulf Meifert's father who was a well known Berlin "bon vivant" of the 1920s and 1930s. I also purchased his C.W. Borchert Berlin W. Stiff Felt.
Habig Hüte, Berlin at Night: Friedichstrasse - Lindenpassage (1928) Postcard. I found this postcard back in 2012.

Thank you, Steve!
I have a SIGNIFICANT soft spot for Portis hats, and yours is a perfect example of why. Absolutely stunning, Jeff.
Oh, VERY nice, Rick!!

Thank you. Except for a couple of mouth nibbles that can't be seen when worn, I think it is perfect.
Another stunning hat, more amazing history and ephemera. Wonderful stuff, Steve!P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C.

I’m liking this RD OR more and more. It’s light, comfortable, great sun shade and such soft felt that you barely know you’re wearing it.

Following up yesterday's great Portis with a newer (but not new) Borsalino.

Time for one of my favorite older Stetsons today. Ive always been curious about the gold USA embossing on the sweatband. Ive seen a half dozen like it but dont know the backstory behind it ( if anyone can enlighten me Im all ears)
As normal, all my hats go to the Lab for testing, selection and approval

I love this one. I hope someone knows the back story about that label as well - the lab, however, doesn’t look impressed lol.

Only Tuesday, and already posting Sunday’s hat. That’s an early post for me of late. Anyway, a Costco run under a white Barbisio.
Etsuko wore a Maxim.

Cavanagh stingy brim. I like this one. The brim wants to stay up. It’s a smidge loose on me; gonna get some cork strips to pad it out. Very comfortable.
Am I wearing my hat inside? Why yes I am. It’s raining today, and I’m stuck working in this office anyway - might as well make the most of it.

Sorry for this quick tangent, but every time you post a picture you remind me of the bespoke tailor Kevin Koch. You guys are definitely doppelgangers in my opinion.Cavanagh stingy brim.

No worries - I’m the king of tangents lol - I believe this is what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance”.
