    It's been a while, but finally got a decent photo of myself in a lovely double breasted I got from Fastuni a while back.

    30s The Brock, came to me with plenty of character. Lovely beater hat for today's outing.

    German velour. Quite liking it as a brim up. Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a festive and safe holiday season.

    Hope this one belongs in this thread - managed one last purchase before end of the year. Currently still making its way to me, but looks to be a circa 30s velour by a smaller maker.

    Thanks Steve - definitely appreciate the insights into the history of the factory. Do you know roughly when such imports would have stopped? I do note that the paper label references the Czechoslovakia origins as per your comment.

    Thanks Steve - I've never dealt with Huckels for the export market, so wasn't 100% sure. But good to know it may be even mid 30s. This one was a lucky find, incorrectly listed as a Mossant (as it came with a Mossant hat box).

    Another 30s Stetson Standard Quality from Ivano today while out holidaying in Wellington (our capital city). Particularly smitten by the rakish angled, long tails on the frayed bow and the brim binding details.

    20s deadstock Brock up brim today; amazing how much hat 3.45 can buy back in the day.

    I'm sure a few members would have seen this - a bit of heated bidding in the last 40 secs but I really wanted a Select Quality in this colour :D

    Stefan, wonderful haul. I think one can always do with another black velour, especially, as you pointed out, one with shark gills and of such King sized proportions!
