Fantastic blue colour on that one Daniele. Could it be an Antonin France? A. Meer was definitely a seller of quality hats.

Today the anti Covid rules are tightened, so there will be a little more masking

For my walk to my office I chose a French hat from the 1930s

Thibet size 59 in blue color. Felt is a blend of wool and fur. It is very firm and even foldable without steam

Without lining, it has only a small sticker from the headwear of A. Meer from Strasbourg. The dimensions are impressive and very good for a suit with jacket and coat.

Thanks for the likes of the last week!
Have a nice day

I'm a sucker for a back bow Steve, but that Tonak rings all the bells for me: Nice tall crown, wide ribbon, great shape, cool colour, perfect pinches, and all with a back bow. It's an all round beauty.

Tonak "Standard" Back Bow possibly early to mid 1950s from my May 2016 NOS Czech find. Really fantastic felt on this one. Also a very wide ribbon + tall Crown with Back Bow.

Excellent heather
Thanks Joe. Your parade of new hats is excellent

Thanks Steve, it is a "Thibet" another French hat maker, active during the first half of last century, then the company became "Everest" for the last twenty years of activity. I think they stopped in the Seventies. A. Meer was a sort of "magic field" because they had a very huge variety of hats from twenty until ninety from the best French hats producers. I regret not to buy everything they have. I have scheduled a trip to Strasbourg to see all the hats, but it never happened :rolleyes:

Steve this Tonak is an excellent hat in proportions and the color of the felt and ribbon are really beautiful even if I do not like so much the back bow, but this is nothing compare to the rest ;)

I certainly appreciate and enjoy the two Homburgs from A.Meer I bought from you, Daniele. Here's hoping you get to Strasbourg again before long.
