Hückel Jota Seal Velour in black. Size 57 with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 11,5cm at the center dent. As expected the felt is incredible on this hat. Only n i g g le I have is that the liner is sagging. Have to figure out a way to remedy that.

Thanks, Steve. For some reason these things keep popping up now and again in France. I'm not complaining.
