    That one is also fantastic, Matt! As a side note, the lettering on the sweatband reminded me my "Echter Haarvelour" And maybe the STECO, "Hora velour"

    Old wool hats are great. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get new pics from the ones you sent me (e.g., KAMI) to post them here.

    Another French, "Thibet" in a special wool recipe. This is probably the most elegant wool felt that has passed from my hands. More silky than rough. Pics from Daniele And with that I've just remembered a Thibet wool bowler if someone wants to post it here ;)

    A French in long hair mix with a good amount of wool content. Probably pre-WWII

    B.B. "Bristol" upbrim, wool felt in mixed colors. Probably 30s

    Heinrich Balke, Bremen, upbrim wool and in special felt finish -as noted in the sweatband-, "Velvet". Straight from the Edwardian era. Offset bow.

    Not as fancy or good as the Negrettis shown above, but another relatively light weight wool bowler. Unknown brand, probably English, l am thinking 30s. Also soft and flexible, nearly wanted to be bashed

    Here is another black pre-WWII woolie that fits here, probably from a Guben source with similar small stamps

    Fantastic woolies, Stefan! Thank you for replying to the call :) These old wool hats are on a different league and have nothing to do with modern wool hats obviously, neither they are more prone to shrinkage :)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Sun and positive temperatures after who knows how long...Time for a brake from the blacks. I hope you don't mind. Sools upbrim in grey that my friend Daniele sent me earlier this year. Probably late 20s/early 30s What to say more about this hat?

    Thank you Daniele, much appreciated! I couldn't agree more with you. The European wool centres- e.g., Monza in Italy, Guben in Germany and Esperaza in France- have produced some magnificent wool hats in the past and although there are plenty of examples and tons of info in the respective...

    Great catch, Brent! I am always happy seeing your finds but much more when they're your size and preferred proportions!

    Very, very nice Steve. I love the details. That's the first WPW I see. The logo makes sense for it to contain some beaver fur, I guess. The loden melone is also fantastic and unique.

    Here is a French Wool homburg and recent find, probably from 20s-30s @mayserwegener , @Daniele Tanto , @steur , @Mean Eyed Matt and all woolie-lovers would you care to post some of these "inferior" hats here? ;)

    Daniele, nice to see it in action! Even that is not reflected on the amount of hats you've got from the cold North, I can confirm that you have been a fantastic boy this year. Also it seems it was quite a productive and multi-tasking year for me; in addition to my things I have performed some...

    Thank you for your support gentlemen and the bartenders for paying attention. It seems that we are set now. If that's our place to post our beloved woolies, soft and stiff felts, both pre- and post-war we might just need to revise the title a bit. Maybe something more general, yet catchy?
