Post New Hats Here!

She does know how to model those hats, Georg. Great pics. How come she doesn't want the hats? Takes after her mother maybe?

I love seeing my daughter wearing cool dress hats.
She already has a few from me, but rarely wears them and doesn't want more.
Unfortunately most teens and young adults are just not in to that kind of head wear.
I have to admit I was more into base caps in my youth as well.
I wore my first Fedora working part-time as a bartender in my twenties

This was kind of a cool find. Not perfect, but still.
Hückel Alpha in a size 58. Lovely grey/silver velour hat with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. The hand of the felt is just awesome. It has lost its liner somewhere along its history, the ribbon has some markts and the reed has come through in the front, but the sweatband is still supple (I did treat it with some conditioner though). Doesn't take away from the quality and it's all minor as soon as you touch that felt. Sonderanfertigung (specially made for) for Carl Zeumer. Sweatband mentions Pfau-Feinhaar (meaning Peacock finehair). Don't know what that refers to.

Wonderful. I like the way light reflects and gives it a marble stone coloring.

This Habig is soft and has a good hand.
Unfortunately no product tag inside, besides the size tag "60".
Liner is glued in, not sown. Maybe 1970-80s?
As you can see, size 7 1/2 is way to big for me
If interested, send me a message.

Very nice hat parade today, Stefan. I like them all!

Martora felts are nice and thin. Beautiful color, Esteban.

Please sell it to me :-D It's not your size is it? ;-)

Thank you, gentlemen. The Martora is a favourite, but that's also because it's my size. The others will become available (after certain obligations); I have a reputation as enabler to uphold after all

Wow! now that's a great looking hat

Thank you, Roger.

Well, give it time for the hat bug to take hold. She'll get there. Refreshing for the lounge to see hats worn by others than, let's face it, middle aged men.
Thanks for the likes on the Hückel. I see that you too find it hard not to buy a good hat when you see one, even if it's not your size.

Usually when I'm looking for vinateg hats I can find plenty in my own size. Larger sized hats are much more rare. Last week I found some interesting ones in large sizes. Not as old as I'd like, but there you go.
Wegener suede finish with braided felt ribbon in a size 60 (7 1/2 American). Hard to call the colour, because it varies depending on the light from black to dark grey to dark blue. Brim at 5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. Lovely hand to the felt, which is why I brought it.

Thanks, Pat. It is a nice colour and you don't see it that often.

Before I start posting the Mayser hats, here's one I did find in my size (well, it fits me).
Heinr. Neumann chamois in a size 57 (but runs small enough for me). Overwelt brim at 5,5cm and crown 10cm at the center dent. No liner, but it must have had one in the past, and just a generic label inside the hat. So no clue who the manufacturer was. Really cool bow treatment, nice shape to the hat and excellent felt (reminds me of Hückel chamois finishes). What's not to like?

First of the Mayser hats.
Mayser in grey (city fanal) in a size 58. Raw edge brim at a good 5,5cm and crown 10,5cm at the center dent. Not much more to tell about this hat. Not terribly old (seventies is my guess), but a very nice quality Mayser hat.

Mayser Padua Garda. Very hard to name this colour, so Padua Garda it is (I could always go for "taupe"). Size 60 with the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown 10cm at the center dent. Same age as the "city fanal" judging by the label. European hats usually have narrower brims than American made ones, but this one has some more width to it, which is the reason I brought it with me.

Mayser Genf Strato in a size 61 or 7 5/8 American (not every day I find hats in this size). Very dark brown hat with the bound brim at 5,5cm and the crown 11cm at the center dent. Older than the previous two. Probably late sixties.

I would call it 'Rust'. Nice colour!

This is my favourite of the lot...especially for the name Padua - Garda, even if Garda is in the district of Verona

No, no, not taupe!? It reminds me of of hot chocolate that's raspberry cocoa

First one of several (finally there was a dry hour so I could take some pics). First one.
Borsalino faunosca 39 in the colour china. Martora felt. This was the one that I traded with @dkstott and for which I'm very very grateful to him. Raw edge brim at almost 7cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. It's a beauty.

That’s a real beauty, Stefan. Great color and form.

Just shy of 4 months to wait for my taupe Akubra CD!

Putting it on after such a long wait was akin to a religious experience.
