Resistol Majestic with the ubiquitous Resistol Kitten finish.

I'm particularly fond of the large ribbon.

Made under license in Germany, so a Wegener hat, and sold in A Breiter's store in Munich.

Resistol, Wegener, Breiter: three hallmarks of quality in one hat.

Have a good weekend, folks!

I believe it was up for an auction on eBay from a seller of a few hats, but mostly other collectables. I put in a substantial bid, obviously wanting the hat and hoping to scare any high bidders out of the gate. Clearly, whatever I did worked and I got it for $53 + shipping at cost.
Jeff, Thank you! As I said it's from a similar time period of the ones on my website..

Today, on this autumn day, I decided to wear a "Super Flechet" hat.

It’s a size 58, so it fits well when my hair is short.

Alas, no brush available!

The felt is a soft velvet—a truly beautiful example of this particular type of finish.
The sweatband bears the mark "Velsoy," which is the term Flechet uses for hats with this kind of finish.

The leaves are changing color, and the temperature drops at night.
The season for "substantial" felt hats has begun!
Thanks for your likes—I’ll return the favor!

Sometimes it's just a hat I got from somebody I don't know, then other times it's a hat that I got from one of my friends. Those are the "special " ones to me.
When I first arrived @ TFL one of the 1st guys to reach out to me was Nathan aka the Lost Cowboy. One day he decided to liquidate some of his collection & I was able to pick up a couple cool old lids from him. So, without further ado...more whipstitch goodness !
* thanks again Nate . Drive safe pal !
