Stefan, Thank you! I can't make out the entire handwritten word.
Great looking Hückel Weilheim "Chamois"! I have a few Hückel "Chamois" with small feathers. I am thinking the hats came from the factory with the feathers.
I was hoping you'd be better than I was doing at deciphering that oneStefan, Thank you! I can't make out the entire handwritten word.

I think you're right about the feather in the Hückel chamois hats. Can't be a coincidence.

I have a tan Chamois and it has a small feather but with brown and tan hues. I some others with the small blue jay feathers. I agree there are just too many to be coincidence.I was hoping you'd be better than I was doing at deciphering that one

A Resistol San Antonio seemed the appropriate choice for fetching BBQ for dinner.

This week I will feature Echter Borsalino Hats which were made for the German Market. The hats will be from the late 1920s up to the 1950s.
Echter Borsalino "Bismuto" (Bismuth) and "Sanboca", Point 6 1/2, date stamped 17.5.29 (May 17, 1929). The felt is very soft / light weight with a unique box bow design for this style hat and also has a looped wind cord. It has an fantastic over welt curled brim and the non-reed sweatband is very finely stitched to the hat. The Berlin store / hat company (Max Eckard) that sold it did not survive WWII.
Date Stamp 17. 5. 29.
The box the hat came in is from a Berlin hat store (Philipp Neubauer Berlin)that survived WWII but not the locations listed (I have / had a few hats from this store).

Of course you had dinner in a Stratoliner, I would expect nothing less.Evening dinner on the deck had me wearing a Stetson Stratoliner.
Later I sipping an adult beverage in a Stetson Stratoliner in a darker hue (sage).
Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric-
You don't look too worse for wear Charlie! My hair is tickling my ears too. Always love that 'Berg, Cavanagh right?

Keep the faith Eric! Another gem.Good morning. Foray into the unforeseen dangers of a neighborhood walk had me wearing a vtg. Stetson Sovereign Twenty. This green fedora has a dress weight felt that has a clay-like drape when you touch it to change the crease or dents. No coaxing needed as the felt just yields to your whims.
Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -
It is nice to see you doing your part Joe. Great back bow.
Very fetching indeed...you are such a tease!

That brim stitching is fantastic Stefan. I agree about feathers, sometimes they are just...right.

Wow! I love this, and dated as well. You have the best toys on the block. I wonder how far back the naming of colors goes on Borsalinos. Somehow, the legacy of "bismuto" from 1929 versus my mid 50s bismuto is comforting.
