This morning, my Akubra Snowy River got a bit grubby while water blasting the stairs.

Later, it was my Akubra Cattleman for grilling mackerel, veggies and onigiri rice balls on the barbecue.

Is it something like a heather felt? I like that bowler a lot; very unique.

Mayser "Grosser Preis" / M. Mertés Hutfabrik, Inh. Max Hecht Nürnberg possibly later 1920s. This is a very unique Mélange Stiff Felt. The Mélange is mostly different shades of Gray maybe a tinge of Red other unknown Colors. The finish is Rauh like but the hand is very soft.

Unique means “one of a kind,” and you can't modify that; it's either unique or it's not, just like the lady is either pregnant or she's not. She is not somewhat pregnant, kind of pregnant or even very pregnant.

Now pedantic, that's a whole new meaning, best described as GHT at his condescending, egotistic, narcissistic, self-important ego trip. Pedantic allows for description.

Randy, Yes, something like a heather felt but the finish is not smooth and it has a soft hand (I think it's Fur Felt). You might be able to see that in the photos. I have one other similar Stiff Felt (but could be a Fur - Wool or Wool) from an Austrian company (see below). I don't think there any other similar Stiff Felts here on the FL.
