Show us your Stingy Brims
This little "Wildleder" Trilby in sage color has a nice and soft felt. I like the contrasting brim edge in dark green-brown.- Steinbockhase

Does the multiple circular stitching of the brim have any advantages other than styling? Might contribute to more stiffness of the brim or help hold the curvature better? I've seen that feature on cloth / fabric hats already.- Steinbockhase

WGF = wild goat fur Just kidding. I think Scott is right, probably just the initials of the person who bought the hats. You could post some photos for better judgement.- Steinbockhase

This little "Wildleder" Trilby in sage color has a nice and soft felt. I like the contrasting brim edge in dark green-brown. Unfortunately no tags and the liner logo is too dark to see anything behind the blurry cellophane. Probably from the 1960's.- Steinbockhase

I don't go for wool-felt hats any more, but this Fraenkel looked nice enough. The felt is thinner and lighter than usual wool-felt and I always love a bonded-edge. According to the sweat imprint, I assume it was produced somewhere after 1958 into the 60s. Stark B. Hüte (since 1858) Münster, Germany- Steinbockhase

Finding vintage hats at a flea market or second hand store is always a matter of luck. You could look for new hats at "Hut Breiter" in downtown Munich. There is a hat museum in Lindenberg near the Bodensee lake, which is a two and a half hour drive from Munich.- Steinbockhase

I guess you could do it yourself with tools from an old printing press. Putting the individual metal letters on a stamp and then using pressure to imprint the leather sweatband. Afterwards using a paint brush and gold color to fill the letter imprints on the sweatband. Sounds complicated and...- Steinbockhase

What hat are you waiting for today?
I would assume there is less felt-stiffener in the crown section, making it more malleable for creasing.- Steinbockhase

Show us their hats!
A nice example for the tradition ... caps for young men and hats for adults. Or does it just appear that way, because caps make them look younger? :)- Steinbockhase
