Latest arrival among Central European hats made with velour felt.
It is a Huckel 1799 "Durit" made for the French market.
In recent times I have had various velour hats in my hands and this is an example of lightness compared to others that have arrived in my collection.
The felt is dense and the pile is of medium length. It is malleable and takes shape without steam.
The storage conditions are excellent, without any defects. The "old" one has been preserved very well
The size is a "rarity" because it is difficult to find a 5 3/4 which is a narrow 59 centimeters
The measurements of the Huckel 1799 - Durit are as follows: the raw brims are 6 centimeters, the ribbon always matching the felt is 5.5 centimeters high, and the open crown is 15 centimeters.
I hope to continue finding hats of this quality... they make me happy.
