What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

J. .Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", possibly 1930s. The smooth finish black felt is light in weight and very pliable. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, and liner piping are more inline with JHS Stiff Felts. The overall condition is excellent. I found this Soft Felt back in 2017.

Mauerer Wien established 1873 are still in business today.

I haven't encounter any hat company having hanging cords as early as JHS so JHS may have been the first. I believe this is only one I have with a barbed knot.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Grand-Prix Paris" Display, possibly 1920s - 1930s. Found this back in 2018.

Stunning!!!

The hat is a magnificent short-haired midnight blue velour and is built with solid components.

Daniele, Super! "M. W., B." is "Max Wiess, Berlin". Here is a similar paper label.

It's BIG HAT Tuesday here @ Rock Bottom and I'm sporting this Biltmore western that was made for The Dirty Shame hat & boot emporium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It features their Canadian Soleil felt. Very suede - like feel to the felt .

Thanks Steve. It remains a mistery until today.
A question: why they use the trademark Bnatam? Do you think they ahve some link with Cappellificio Cervo or Stetson?
Cuirosity

That is simply stunning, Alan!

Busy morning here, made more aggravating by what I suspect is the start of yet another danged head cold. Still, hats make me happy, and, being as Timmy and I seem to be on the same wavelength, today it's my Resistol Dry Gulch, in navy.

Spectacular!!!

That is simply stunning, Alan!

Thank you! It is a handsome piece of hat work and almost unworn.

At first glance, Stefan, my U.S. upbringing led me to read "Steelmaster".

Careful, you don't want to upset Rembrandt!
