Another local find. I was already very happy with what my local market had to offer this year but this one exceeded all of my expectations. I'll let the pics do the talking.
Originally imported for the Swedish market, but luckily ended up in Norway. This is the original crease the hat...
The second Mirtillo I find this summer in my market. Luckily that one is in my size.
Personally I prefer a rolled upbrim (like this has) over a snap brim fedora but that's just me. The style is misleading but from the label I am thinking 60s(late)?
Steve thank you! They probably belonged to the same person, since they came together and sized similarly. And thanks to your site I knew what HBB meant :) I am yet to see a wool felt in velour finish in person though, the closest I have is the French one I posted recently.
Not sure if this one belongs here. It could be English made originally. Unfortunately no labels.
The finish is quite coarse and the content feels mostly wool. The bow and wind cord made me pull the trigger on this one
It's been a while. Quite some great finds gents. Two oldies from me.
Heinrich Balke, Bremen
Some damage on the sweatband but the felt is in great condition. Also, this is a wool hat, and in a special finish. Not something we see that often, I think.
Not sure if this one has been posted here before, if so not recently, so thought to add it anyways. A @Daniele Tanto find, Thanks!
Sools, grey, upbrim prewar fedora, size 56
And here is an old velour. Curiosity (read sucker for velours) and a seller willing to negotiate for an already low price, decided for that one. Not my find, @Mean Eyed Matt noticed it first and then Stefan reminded me it's still there, thank you gentlemen!
British manufacture, real English...
