Hückel Superior Fedora

*very deep sigh* They ain't makin' lids like that anymore... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Say, Steve -- do you ever wear that one or do you keep it locked away in your closet? I'd really love to see a noggin shot of you in that Hückel.

 

[mayserwegener]

Mario, Yes I wore it about 3 weeks ago. One of my friends took some photos so I will see if she can send me them.

Very deep sigh, indeed. That is about as elegant as it gets! Just a perfect center dent. Restrained and marvelous. :eusa_clap

Looking forward to it!!

You know what? Every time I look at a photo of that Hückel I get the funny notion that I should really make a high-resolution print and put it on my bedroom wall...

 

[Chinaski]

I've peppered a few other threads with this one, so I might as well put it in here as well. A Lee Adventure, sitting on top of a thin-ribbon Stetson for comparison.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

These 'mids' are my favorite ribbons. Put that with a 2-1/2"ish raw edge brim and I'm a happy hat wearer.

Here's some of my Borsalinos:

Trionfo

Roll-up

Gran Prix

Extra Extra Superiore

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

A few others I've got laying around:

Champ Featherweights in taupe and charcoal

Dobbs Fifteen

Dobbs

Mystery hat in heather blue/grey (I think this one is really old)

Knox Vagabond

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Some Stetsons:

Flagship

Playboys in beige and green

Privateer

 

[Mario]

Good heavens! Gene - you're killing me with that parade of yours! Is that the league of the lovely lids?

The Champ here is my favorite:

What a color combo! But then I also like the Flagship. And the green Playboy. And the pug on the Privateer is something to die for. And...blahblah...

 

[GClark]

These 3 from Art Fawcett qualify, I think:

VS Tucker

PanamaBob and VS Montecristi

Borsalino Beaver reblocked, ribboned and bound by Art

Thanks buddy! I often am given the credit for these well made old hats. I'm glad to be their present custodian.

That Trionfo is beautiful!
