The Rousselet and Resolut are so interesting to see together, especially given the history.
It's really amazing the difference that the ribbon makes. Warmer is a great way to put it.
I have a Rousselet hunting hat thats quite late. While I often get lost in the weeds with the Italian and French stuff , i love history and i'm fascinated by how much changed before during and after the 40s.
I mainly see german/austrian hunting stuff here. Lots of which are white label.
Very few formal hats, but i suppose Aussies don't have a huge reputation for formality.
Beautiful hats and thanks for sharing.

Hückel Chamois fedora in grey/blue. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Felt is everything we've come to expect from this brand. The colour of this one is unusuel though an quite spectacular.

Great new additions. This one is a real beauty.

Thanks, Ian. Well, hats are a functional piece of clothing after all and they should suit the environment the wearer finds himself in. Dressier hats for urban or suburban places and sturdier hats for outdoors/working environments.

Great new additions. This one is a real beauty.

Thanks, Joe. Glad Fritz Hückel decided to bring a fine crew with him when he moved to West Germany.

Mayser Ulm a / Donau, Grand, "Grosser Preis" "M", 56 cm, 125 grams, possibly late 1920s. The overall condition of this Stiff Felt is excellent so a very lucky find. It came from a Seller locted in the Czech Republic not far from Leipzig. I have one other Mayser Ulm Stiff Felt with the quality mark "M" but have no information on what it means.
