    Took a gamble, but alas, it turned out too small (why do sellers never wait the size?) Estimated 30s Hückel Foulaed Soleil. wonderfully soft medium hair length velour, dry creases easily. I love thr bow treatment.

    Sorry this took a while Steve but a better photo of the paper label from the Japanese Alpha - looks to be another type 8?

    Now I think I posted this before, but I I took the opportunity to take better photos and have him alongside his older brother. Black Brüders Böhm Ultima sold in France. I rather fancy the back bow.

    Fourthly, the Brüder Böhms Ultima I shared in the other thread. I'd appreciate your analysis, but I'm estimating 20s. Unfortunately there's no paper tag inside. Again, sold in France

    Thirdly m, I'm guessing 20s Huckel Novo sold in France. Other than the tear in the sweat, the hat is in pristine condition.

    Secondly, probably later 30s Huckel Prima sold in Poland.

    Thanks Gents, alas I need to frequent the boards more often! As an apology here's some photos of acquisitions in the past six months or so. Firstly, 30s Huckel Alpha made for the Japanese market.

    Oh wow, can anyone point me to this hat? pretty much a dream homburg for me.

    Earlier Bohms Ultima, members will probably recognise this from Ebay. I'll endeavour to take better photos for the German/Austrian thread.

    1930s style suits by jcco_sh on Instagram

    Thanks for sharing, I'll try to get some good photos of the suits I ordered from him. I understood you're the owner of the grey flannel 3 pc with the DB waistcoat? I would love to see photos of it in action if so.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    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.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    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!

    " The Great British Hat Makers "

    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

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    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!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Surprisingly another duo - very similar. Early 50s Lincoln Benett in 7 1/8 And I think pre-war, though unfamiliar with the maker:

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    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!

    Amazing addition Steve, always a joy to see another old velour in your collection.

    French Hats and makers.

    Thank you gents, I'm definitely pleased with the proportions and quality...and the price ;) Thanks Steve, it's pretty close to my Huckels (the hairs on the Flechet velour is just a tiny bit shorter). I'll defer to learned french hat experts, I just thought the label weren't as old as some of...
