Thank you sir. Funny about that brim. It actually came that way. I tried to flatten it, but just couldn't get it to. So I tried to at least get all the sides somewhat even &/or level. For the most part, the crown is how it came too. I tried steam but had no luck, so used some bottled water and wet it, then placed the crown top down on a wooden head I have, (not mine!) to get some of the old creases out. Then reshaped by hand. I think I got it looking a bit better, and at least, took out some of the older crease lines. Past that, I took one of the hat sponges to it, and a bit of talcum powder, then brushed it.

Recently aquired an A.Brieiter Munchen during my recent trip to Germany. While visiting the most beautiful city of Bad Aibling in Bavaria for my cancer treatments, I happened upon this little second hand shop selling German clothing. They had only 1 hat in the store and it had my name on it. Fit perfect, feather and birds foot at no extra charge. A whopping Eur 30 and it was mine.

Looks like a great hat DD. Pretty cool that you could find all that info on the former owner. Good job.Just received this one. From the auction photos, I thought this was a Cross Plains, with 3" brim. I was wrong, everything about the dimensions say San Antonio to me.
I researched the original owner, Jack Scott.
Jack was born Sept.4, 1909. He attended school in Cross Plains Texas, until he went to West Texas Military Academy, in San Antonio. He graduated in 1930, and by age 20, was editor of the Cross Plains Review newspaper. By 1940 he owned the entire business. He served in the U.S. Army, 1944 mostly in the Philippines. He was director of the West Texas Press Association, and received 27 statewide awards for his column "Hometowner". He was director of the Citizens State Bank and was involved in oil exploration, and a small cattle operation. He was mayor of Cross Plains four times. He died Jan. 5, 2003.
I am very happy to be the caretaker of his hat, he sounds like an exceptional gentleman. The felt on this hat is very nice!

I saw your listing on ebay. What a nice hat!Fléchet in a milk chocolate brown velour. Wonderful hat, but it’s a 7 1/8 so too small for me.

That speckled tweed one is pretty cosmic. Keith does some fine work. Congrats on the acquisitions.

Dermotta Wien, 58 cm possibly mid 1950s. The felt finish and hand are excellent plus easily dry creases. The overall workmanship is fantastic which is standard for Dermotta Wien. Unfortunately the paper label is missing.

Wow. I like this hat... a lot. Tall crown, soft telescoping bash with a mild egg shape, wide ribbon, brim is not too stingy, subtle rake. Me? I'd probably wear it with the brim up.

Not to mention, It looks great on you.
