Beautiful hat. Those are great photos Steve, what type of camera? they look almost 3D on my computer screen.

Thanks, Ken. No special camera, just my smartphone [emoji4]

Huckel. German perfection. Thick, soft felt that holds a crease very well. Too warm for the cotton military shirt, switched to a vest for this morning.

I think Bowen has called that style of ribbon by name before, but I don't remember it. I have a couple without the ribs, like this Penny Towncraft.

Can’t remember what i might have called that ribbon style. It is a unique 6 cord style. Thought i had something similar but i can’t find it.

It works well in the transition to a mid ribbon on a Western dress hat like this 3x6 from hatWRKS, Nashville.

Now this is a very cool ribbon and hat.
Very geometrically balanced. Engineered well as it were. Love that thin center piece.

Ken is this one about the lightest hat you’ve ever felt??
Gorasgu is such a fine example of what a Borsalino is all about. Imho

A favourite of mine in the collection, but another one that doesn't get much head time, so decided to take it out on an outing today.

A Carlton Homburg, approx. late 1940s.

It deserves to be worn, Steve, because it is magnificent!

Only thing wrong with it is that it's a size too big for me...
Super hat, Greg.

C. G. Wilke "Helios" made of Wool and possibly late 1920s early 1930s.

C. G. Wilke Guben Hat Factory, Ink Blotter, 14 cm X 7 cm / 4.5 inches X 2.75 inches, possibly early 1910s.

Stefan, Thank you! As usual a fantastic series of hats from you today!

Thanks, Steve. Very cool bowler on display today. And in such a great condition. I like the detail of the edging they put on the top edge of the sweatband. Never seen that before.

Thank you, Stefan. I think so, too. It will definitely get more head time this autumn and winter.
