J. Hückel´s Söhne "Superior" probably late 1930s. Most likely designed not to wear with side dents so a Stiffer Soft Felt with very dense felt.

I would have thought that it would look odd without side dents but it really doesn’t. Thanks for the education Steve.

In Virginia Beach, International Workers' Day 2018 saw the arrival of two boxes from Texas.

@Bill Hughes was thinning his herd and, in an act of extraordinary kindness, he thought that my house might be a suitable habitat for six members of his flock.

Just in time, too. I've been worrying about my sorry lack of warm weather hats. And three of the new residents are straws.

As the heat wave kicks in today, I'll be keeping cool under this marvelous old Dobbs Milan.

Bill ROCKS!

Looking good my friend.

Thanks Max.

I hope that Optimo can get it to you soon. I've read that they make very nice Milans.

Wicked for sure! My Dobbs Milan is almost identical, but for the color. Almost time to break it out! That one is superb.

Great to see you in a light colored hat, Steve! That is a sweet one. I have yet to even see a true Hückel, Wegener, or Mayser in person!

Michael, looking sharp as always, and well hatted too!
Thanks Justin. Your Standard was anything but. A beauty.

Awesome. The shirt rocks with it.Thanks Max.
Thanks Matt. This shirt is one of the few things I like about summer weather. Ha ha. Your Dobbs today is killer cool. Maybe even serial killer. Or is that cereal?

Thanks,
Michael
