French Hats and makers.

[Pellie]

You're on a roll with French hats, Marcel.

I particularly love this one. You're definitely on the button with the date by the look of the stitching on the sweat band, and the ribbon and bow treatment.

Late 30s to early 40s, I'd say.

Sorry i missed your post Steve. Yes this velours is a great hat. And it's cool to be a pre-war fedora too!

Beautiful dark grey homburg from Gibus made by Mossant. This felt is incredible soft. Everything is in 100% mint condition. I think it's old, who knows? I believe it's 40's, maybe 50's. It's one of the best homburgs i own so far. Thanks @steur for the tip.....

Gorgeous hat, Marcel. My eye was drawn to it mainly because of that beautiful liner and because Gibus hats other than chapeau-claque are rare. It turning out a dark heathery grey is a wonderful surprise.

Thanks Stefan. Glad you tipped me ;-)

Tx Randy. Yes that's a keeper for sure. Beautiful felt on this rare homburg.

Delion Castor Hudson homburg in black. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Sturdy felt with a nice hand. The label doesn't say so, but more than likely Mossant was the maker, because the "Castor Hudson" was used by them.
