One of my top five favs.
Hope I’m not repeating hats, but by now I’ve forgotten which ones I’ve done and regret that I haven’t been writing it down.
Super hat Steve.J. Hückel´s Söhne were famous for Velour Soft Felt Hats but their Stiff Felt Hats were also very popular. This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Stiff Felt Hats.
J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", 152 grams possibly early 1930s. I think this a good one to start out with. I found this Stiff Felt back in July 2011.

It is seemingly invariable that whenever I find a two-for or a three-for deal that there is one in the group I had my eye on as the reason for the purchase... however upon arrival a different hat turns out to be the real star. In this case... I had my eye on the brown Knox Flying Cloud as I have a grey one I really like and thought it would be a good companion. After arrival though it became apparent the hat I thought From the sellers photos was just another short brim black hat was actually the star of the show.
both hats were purchased from Jacob Reed’s Sons in Philadelphia, PA and both had an original retail price of $30 marked down to $15. My guess on these two hats would be late 1960s or early 1970’s.
I am not sure if the feathers will remain on this one... though in this photo they actually look nicer than I had thought. I think I did trim some of it off upon arrival.
Two thirds of the way to 30!
First really nice day this year. +18 kids riding bikes and climbing trees. Days like today. Life is good.
Raking the yard can wait till tomorrow.
Take it easy everyone

Congrats on the long walkabout sir. Do not let a crisis go to waste (Churchill) and make those long walks count.Sweatin’ up a Stratton Lawman after our walk went longer than I anticipated.
No wind, and fairly hot and humid for the daily masked Corona crawl, so I donned this Mayser Panama semi colada. Probably time to switch over to straw, though if the trades are blowing this one could end up in the drink as it blows right off my head with the slightest gust.

Needed to be under a Shady Oak this morning, and since the leaves aren't out on the oaks yet I had to go with a Peters Bros.
