Anton Pichler Graz "Super", possibly mid to late 1950s and a recent find. The Form harkens back to an earlier time.

Anton Pichler k.u.k. Hof - Hutfabrikant Graz, Austria (Styria), Nov. 1, 1914 from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg, Germany Hat Library collection. This is a fantastic collection (shortly after the start of WWI) of mostly very highend dress Velours with pricing and other information (such as quality distinctions) for the German market. Anton Pichler was one of the top hat experts in Austria (he passed away in 1925). Edward VII of England made one of his Trachten Velours famous in England. I photographed this catalog at the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Hat Museum / Library, Bad Homburg, January 2016.

Happy Labor Day! Hope everyones enjoying a whole lot of nothing lol. Bright and sunny morning felt like an Open Road-ish day. Too many Stetsons to choose from so I pulled my favorite Adam Premier off the wall

Dogs been doing a masterful job of stealing the camera focus today. Puppy has a major case of the zoomies and digging in the dirt this morning. I suspect there will be a big Labor Day bath later.
