Hückel Weilheim "Soleil", Hückel's Clipper, size 57cm, possibly late 1950s early 1960s.
Love this! Surprising considering this looks almost exactly like my truck interior did today as I vacuumed enough dog hair (left behind by my daughter's large dog) to probably build this hat. Another reason I like my Poodles.
Really...I love the hat!

My wife's new-to-her Optimo thin-ribbon western arrived today! A great hand to the felt. Not sure how I ended up with it for this price though...

What a steal! I don't associate Optimo with an OR, kind of interesting.

The "Paglietta" as we call this hat here in Italy is made of simple straw braids sewn together.
It came as a gift a few years ago with a poor and very usual finish
It was too large for my head and its shape did not fit my melon.
It stayed a few years watching the parades of felt hats, then I decided for a gamble.
I sent it to Fleur - Penumbra hat in the Netherlands to find a solution.
Her simple and very fascinating proposal pushed me to continue the refurbishing project
Her proposal to make it less ample, to be able to wear it was well done, but it is I, who once with the head on the "Paglietta", I feel a fish out of the water. So no pictures of my face with Paglietta
As you can see the sweatband and pierced to avoid overheating of the head and the tip is not to feel the straw scratching the head.
I am very happy with my project and its implementation, but the "Paglietta" is not my bread.
So if someone want to trade please let me know

Great ribbon and bow. Never realy appreciated bi-colored creations. I appreciate this one very much. Subtle and classy.The "Paglietta" as we call this hat here in Italy is made of simple straw braids sewn together.

Arrived this AM ... a Stetson Playboy, est mid 1950's to early 1960s. eBay. It fits. No obvious (to my eyes) issues. Third picture: "Stetson Employees Factory Store Reject". It's in the freezer as recommended by AbbaDatDeHat, jlee562 & deadlyhandsome in the "Ask a question" section.
More pictures and details once it comes out of the freezer later this week.

I have never frozen a hat.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Cool hat, Steve. You have several of these posted on your website already; is there a difference in quality in these?Hückel Weilheim "Soleil", Hückel's Clipper, size 57cm, possibly late 1950s early 1960s.
I'd say that qualifies as a $300 hat for $30 with room to spare, Bob!
