and a half size to big for me. With a cork or tissue behind the sweatband it would be fit.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota Velour", FP 5, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. Really fantastic Black Velour that easily dry creases. There is no Hückel on the Liner and Sweatband. The JHS Crest is the similar to the "Loden" Soft Felts that also do not have Hückel on the Sweatband and Crown Tip Patch. The Paper Label is a JHS Soft Felts Post WWI Type 8 and has no mention of JHS. This hat came from a Czech source.

Gorgeous hat, Steve. Let's face it: you can never have enough of these.

That's a great haul, Marcel. I especially like the Cervo Bantam hats, the first one in particular. The panizza looks great as well.

This one was made for the LE market. Not exactly sure what Imported Venetian is. Milan maybe? Something not good enough for blinds? I don’t know. Very light and airy with a great leather sweat. 3” brim.

^^^ Wolf Bros have been around for a long time. They opened their first store in the Stockyards district selling boots & hats to the cattle buyers & sellers, & I think Scott @CS77 posted once about his dad buying him a hat there once as a kid when they took some cattle in to the district.

As the Stockyard district died Wolf Bros evolved into a western wear store & moved their store away from the district. Later they would establish a second store inside the areas biggest indoor shopping mall. I believe the mall store is long gone but the other store was still around last I knew.
