    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today i'm wearing a 50's/60's Stetson 3X Beaver western that I recently converted into a western-esqe upbrim fedora.

    I just landed this fairly early S & J Fraenkel Velour from the 'bay. The seller advertises it at around a size 7......we'll see...... It appears to have the early logo and fairly intricate liner. I should hopefully have it this week.

    FOR SALE - 1900's PROVOLUX French Fedora Longhair SZ 7 1/8 - 7 1/4 - EBAY

    I recently bought this one from france and waited a long time for it to get through customs. I had hoped that it was a size 7 so it would fit me.....unfortunately for me its a 7 1/4. The size tag lists this as a punti 5 1/2 or a size 58. This equates to a US 7 1/4. I took measurements of the...

    Another Beauty, Steve!! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap I see the sweatband on this Austrian/German hat was also attached using the "European method." I have seen this quite a bit as I look through old posts in threads. The vvvvvvvvvv stitching and attaching the sweatband in the front seem to have been...

    Paragon hat co.
