J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" made for Ober Österreich Hutmanufaktur Thom. Janout Linz, F.P. 5 3/4 possibly later 1920s. Ober Österreich Hutmanufaktur Thom. Janout Linz had wholesale and retail locations. At this time they were not a manufacturer. The retail location at Schmidtorstr. 1 is still in business today. It's interesting that I have recently come across a couple of J. Hückel´s Söhne sourced Stiff Felts.

That sure does a lovey Borsalino indeed, Daniele
What a richful velour felt!

The classics always rise to the top. Another beautiful homburg, Danielle.

Beautiful Borsalino's!!

Thanks Lee, Randy and Marcel and all the people who expressed interest for the bunch of Borsalino.
Sometimes I convince myself that there are no more interesting hats on the European markets.
It's part of the cure to try to detox, but when I find similar hats and others the temptation is irresistible

These two aren’t new to me, as I’ve had both in storage for about 4 years.
But y’all haven’t seen them yet.
Too small for me and I’ve toyed with the idea of blocking em up a size to fit me, but just never got around to it, or just didn’t want to mess with these particular beauties.
Too pristine and sweet? That don’t always stop me. Idk.
The Portis is a peach/champagne color that it’s true hue just ain’t right in these pics.
The Richman Brothers is a jobber hat that whoever built/made is a super nice light weight summer felt. Notice the mesh liner and perforated sweat and then the hidden stitching on the very narrow top binding.
Extra posh this casual fedora.
Got a friend who’ll be buying both of em soon, but just thought I’d finally share with everyone first.
