J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" "Rauh" possibly later 1930s. The light weight Rauh / Rough finish mélange felt is fantastic. The hand is very soft with not much nap. The overall condition is great. I found this Soft Felt back in 2020. KMK Klobouk Z Odborného Závodu J. Hückel´s...- mayserwegener

Janyška & Cie. "Praga" possible late 1930s early 1940s. This sporty Homburg is from my 2016 NOS Czech find. Not a Austrian company but grew out of that tradition. Janyška was started in the 1920s in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín. By the way this is the...- mayserwegener

Swiss Hat Companies
Marcel, The felt color and finish are super. Same with the components and the overall workmanship. The location of Botta. Salorino Ticino, Switzerland, was not far from Intra / Ghiffa, Italy so there could possibly be a connection.- mayserwegener

Echter Borsalino "Qualita Superiore" "Fico" "Lama" date stamped May 18, 1929. The felt has a very soft hand and is light in weight. The band is very wide with an interesting bow design. The sweatband and silk liner are of the highest quality. The Berlin store / hat company (Max Eckard) that...- mayserwegener

Randall, Thank you again! Yes they can light up in the sunshine. This is a striking Velour finish called "Platin". I left this hat (it's a small size) with Graham Thompson of Optimo Chicago. We had a meeting at his production facility a couple years ago to discuss specialty finishes. I also...- mayserwegener

Randall, Thank you! Super Excellent Quality Bowler from you today! The 1950s Borsalino Velour is very high quality Real Velour. The pre WWII Austrian Velour was the finest Real Velour. I would say J. Hückel´s Söhne / JHS was at the top. Technically JHS were in Czechoslovakia after WWI...- mayserwegener

Echter Velour - Soleil, possibly late 1920s early 1930. This is only marked Soleil Velour that I have encountered. The Velour is fantastica and is extreme Zephyr weight so super pliable. There is no factory mark so a mystery hat. It has very wide band and with semi Bat Wing Bow. I found...- mayserwegener
