Another addition of yesterday. Resistol Majestic in Black. Made under license in Germany. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6,3cm and crown 11cm at the pinch. It was the kitten finish felt and its nice shape that won me over. I have other hats which claim to have kitten finish, but I'd say there is a substantial difference between one kitten and another.

Last one for today. Cervo in Diano colour, which is a nice little wordplay by them. Cervo meaning "deer" and "daino" meaning "fallow deer". Size 56, with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown 9,5cm at the pinch. Cervo is a manufacturer who made hats under other brand names too, among which was borsalino at some point. Hats under their own brand name don't come up all that often. This is a later hat by them. The crown is a bit lower and shows some taper, but that was a style choice.
No, don't. Then they won't fit me [emoji4]Nice bunch of hats!
Send them to Ignacio. I bet he could make them all fit you!

Phew, now I'm more at ease, Stefan.Thanks, John. I bet he could, but I wouldn't want to deprive my fellow hat-wearers of the chance to add something in their size to their collection.

Glad you found a Resistol kitten, Stefan. They're a must have in any collection.

Stefan, Super! I believe Manfred had the only Stetson = Mayser Excellent "Stratoliner" and now 3 appear in a short period of time. Also great looking Borsalino!
Not too much I hope, Steve. One of them will make the trip across the pond and find a place in Max' collection.
Most of the hats I find in the vintage stores are black, so it takes something special to convince me to bring another black hat home with me. The Resistol was just that: excellent felt and a great shape to it.

Danke, Reggie. I just got another Stetson I really like from Stefan. Will post it in "Other Than eBay" in a minute.

Stefan, Great to see this one. It was made by Wegener who had the Resistol license for Germany starting in 1958.
Steve, thanks. And thank you for the extra information too. I may have read that somewhere before, but it didn't spring to mind. Wegener did a superb job on this one; maybe the best of their production I've handled.
One more I picked up friday. It was in the infirmary yesterday, but full of life again today. Hückel chamois in Grey. Size 56 with the bound brim at 7cm and the crown at 10cm. Not a very rare hat; I believe Steve has about half a dozen of them in various forms and I have another one too, but these are such fine hats that given a chance I bring them home with me. This one was very wrinkled and dirtier than I thought when I bought it (the lighting in the shop was deceptive), but cleaning it with both naphta and water and white vinegar has brought it back to life (bar a small spot at the back of the crown). The hand of the chamois finish is fantastic, but it doesn't shape easily; there's a certain springy feel to the felt. No label inside the hat, as is common with these Hückel Welheim hats. We'll call it hellgrau.
Congrats to you and Max, Stefan. I'm more than pleased with my share of the booty.

Stefan, Would it be possible to take a photo of the other paper label?

I mean no disrespect to the community, but this *is* a hat.
No joke. It seems every time I go into my attic, I nearly knock myself senseless by banging into an overhead beam. I bought this to wear to protect my aging pate when I need to climb the ladder...
(And yes, the Washington Nationals are my favorite MLB team!).

There are two other labels. One is another size label and the other just has a V. on it. Here is the picture.

Stefan, Thanks! The paper label with V on is what you would see in a branded Wegener (with their info). Also the size label.
