    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Panos, Thank you! I failed to mention there is no mention of "Hückel" on the sweatband or liner just the trademark with JHS. The only other examples I have like this are these two JHS "Standard" "Loden" Soft Felts (see below). It could be related to the locations and or time period in post WWI...

    Matt, Great find! Is good to have another STECO Velour. They are hard to find. I noticed that STECO also used the 3 Tower Coat of Arms (see your Velour and the one below) but they were located in Luckenwalde. Could be related to Brandenburg...

    Matt, Super! The "Record" sweatband stamp is impressive. I will have to check and see if any of "Magazin zum Pfau" Stiff Felts that have the famous paper label type. I can't remember off the top of my head. I also need to check into the "Record" and "JEDDO" trademarks. Update: My "Magazin...

    Stefan, Thanks! I like the liner designs too. I wish the latest find's crest was in better condition. The exterior is in great condition. Both appear to have same high quality Wool Felt.

    Matt, Thank you! I was surprised I had a Melone from the same unknown Austrian source. There were some large producers in Vienna that only sourced (not branded) Wool and Fur Soft and Stiff Felt Hats and Wool and Fur Felt Stumps / Hoods.

    Hückel Weilheim "Extra", possibly mid 1950s and a recent arrival. I think I like it better Brim Up.
