J. Hückel´s Söhne "Durit", possibly late 1920s and made for the French Market. I found this one back in July and it's one of my better recent finds. This is the first time I got a chance to wear it.

The revision of the stamping of our company makes it necessary to inform the PT clientele that from now on we intend to equip our products with the quality "stamping". We would also like to add that the customer is always free to add your company name under our punch. From the now starting to use punching you find the relevant deductions deeper. In order to avoid disturbances in the realization of the orders given to us, on the other hand, in order to clarify this matter, we request that we inform you as soon as possible of your opinion on this decision.

Sincerely
J. Hückel´s Söhne

Finally got around to cleaning up this ole “12.50” Johnny Depp wanna be. Had to patch two really big see through moth holes that were side by side. The two moth kids ate well, but at least only one meal each!
Also suffers pinch grab wear that’s nearly see through. Other than that she’s a copper banded beauty!

Quite some petty fur, Steve.

Sun came out after several days of rain, but the wind was stiff out of the NNW. Chose to go with something with a shorter brim. Of course if it was raining I could go with a wider brim. But then I couldn't wear it at night. But it was daytime, so no night sun to worry about.

Brim up or brim down? I felt like brim up, but I wasn't going to be ordering food from the waitress at the diner. So I guess brim down then? What a conundrum. And then the epiphany came to me. I looked down at my wrist, the hand sans glove, and saw WWJD. And I asked myself, "Self, what would Jackson do?"

Standard Quality Stetson, brim up:

Good thing I'm not going out tonight for some jazz. This brim is still too long at 2-1/8".
 
Agreed, that is a striking hat, it has such impact, what The French might describe as: "Ooh-la-la!
Is The Royal model still current, Bob? I couldn't find it on Stetson's website.

Thanks Robert! If I’m not mistaken, Royal is a quality level. This example is from the 1950s.

BTW: The shirt is a Thrift Store Burberry (ironically the same name as my band ;)). The touch of that tan plaid inside my collar is lost (literally) on me.
