Congratulations Steve: A Homburg in this colour-combo is allways a winner - but from Mayser and like new! Love it.

Matt, Thanks! Hopefully, I will give it a spin today.

W. & G. Schuchard "Flexa" made by Hückel Weilheim, 57 cm possibly mid 1960s. I believe this is the first for sure Hückel Weilheim Original Manufactured hat. "Flexa" is probably short for "Flexible" which is a common Hückel trademark going back to JHS. The "Saale" Form might have a been W. & G. Schuchard request. W. & G. Schuchard was a well known wholesaler / distributor going back to 1879. The black Felt has a nice smooth finish with a very fine hand. The overall quality is high with Hückel Weilheim features such as gold embossed liner and hanging cord.

Thanks for your messages and all the info, guys! Yes, it’s marked as 62.5 cm, I’m a 60 cm, so we’ll see how it fits! I should receive it in a few weeks and will share my feedback on the felt and sizing.

As for the Mayser, it should be a better fit if it’s a true 61 cm. I’ve had some vintage 61s that fit more like a 60, so fingers crossed!

I’m just happy cause I rarely find vintage hats big enough for me. I feel like I spend half my life hunting them down online!
