After seeing Alan's one I couldn't pass up on this Marca Colombo. navy velour, probably just around WWII based on the tags and style. I love that hand and quality of these earlier Italian velour.
Wow, that's a very striking hat. I enjoy seeing less 'conventional' styling and your's tick all of my boxes. Plus a great restoration compared to the seller's pictures!
Great find Stefan! I'm quite taken by the texture and colour of this. I personally quite like the rugged nature of wool felt - provided it's executed as well as your fine example from Lock & Co. Do let me know if you ever tire of it
Fresh off of the Buy it Now button. Early Huckel velour, suspect around 20s. I'm surprised one of the European members haven't didn't snap it up before me!
I haven't really seen much action lately, but had to snap these up from ebay. The first is blue according to the seller; I suspect they've got some age to them - I'm pretty confident pre-war and may even possibly be 20s. We shall see soon enough!

Finally, just to confirm is it black? Thanks in advance.
I had to immediately snatch this one up. Luckily was looser than the listing size of 56 and fits my 57 head.
Im unfamiliar with the maker EMA, guessing this to be about 20s.
Hope you've all been well! Not a lot of new activity from me, but managed a new addition to the collection.
I believe a 30s Brüder Bohms made for the French market. Luckily this gamble paid off and fits me :)
edit: I think very similar to one Steve got from Panos bar the backbow
Hi Swinglish,
I'm very interested in the grey wool suit (if handymike passes on the pants). What would shipping be to New Zealand? Happy to chat via dm.
