Anton Pichler Graz "Super", possibly mid to late 1950s and a recent find. The Form harkens back to an earlier time.

Anton Pichler k.u.k. Hof - Hutfabrikant Graz, Austria (Styria), Nov. 1, 1914 from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg, Germany Hat Library collection. This is a fantastic collection (shortly after the start of WWI) of mostly very highend dress Velours with pricing and other information (such as quality distinctions) for the German market. Anton Pichler was one of the top hat experts in Austria (he passed away in 1925). Edward VII of England made one of his Trachten Velours famous in England. I photographed this catalog at the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Hat Museum / Library, Bad Homburg, January 2016.

I love how many of the catalog images look very lived in and not pristine factory fresh.

Looks alternately green or gray depending on the photo. Nice either way, but green would be sweet.

It's more green then grey indeed!

Definitely seeing the green today. Those green color shifters…. Green grey, green tan, green brown are some of the hardest to photograph.

Happy Labor Day! Hope everyones enjoying a whole lot of nothing lol. Bright and sunny morning felt like an Open Road-ish day. Too many Stetsons to choose from so I pulled my favorite Adam Premier off the wall

Dogs been doing a masterful job of stealing the camera focus today. Puppy has a major case of the zoomies and digging in the dirt this morning. I suspect there will be a big Labor Day bath later.

Capitalising on the last vestiges of summer sunshine.
Gamble & G-unn did the honours with today's hat.
The shirt, by Tina, might come under the censor's scrutiny.

Technology left me behind, if it's not pen and ink in Italic script, I am lost.
A search for: Emojis The Fedora Lounge, produced this. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/help/smilies/

Mark, Thank you! It's an interesting catalog. I hope you could expand the photos.

Joe, Thanks! Fantastic hats from you the last couple of weeks! Yes, it would nice to have those Velours in hand.

 

[Pellie]

A. Breiter today. I really like this color.

 

[The Lost Cowboy]

Back home and so many hats I haven't seen in quite a few months. Today I'm going with an Akubra Cattleman. Great sun protection. I'm outside here now more than I ever am in Florida.
