Perhaps, Brent. Focualt's hat barbarity certainly doesn't rise anywhere near the level of Mengele's human barbarity. I assumed this was so self evident that no offence could be taken, but also know tact is not my strong suit. Point taken, and I will attempt to restrain myself going forward.You might be crossing a line here. Invoking something so horrific in such a flippant and casual way as a joke might not be in the best taste. Just a thought.

Interesting finds and for the money...First a Pax 'mohair' and second a High life hat compagny. The inside is a little 'distressed'. Pax was 15 euro and the high life 10 euro. Don't know anything about these hats, but i know 'mohair' is luxious goat wool. View attachment 191882 View attachment 191885 View attachment 191886 View attachment 191887 View attachment 191888

Cheap in price maybe, but not cheap in quality. @moehawk has a hat made by Ecuyer and Thomas and he rates it highly. Great finds, Wayne.Two cheap early ish European velours on their way to me
Yes, coincidence. A friend of my bought another hat from this seller. I contacted the seller too and he told me he had another 2 hats for sale in 58. So he had my attentionInteresting finds and for the money...
Can't say I have. Most of the time the hats on the Dutch vintage market are of German origin. Their production was vast and so was the number of brands they put on the market.Yes, coincidence.

Did you ever heard of the 2 brands Stefan?

The Ecuyer&Thomas were high end producer of hats in France. Not so famous like Flechet, Tirard or Mossant, they were "la crème" along with Thibet and J&B of the ancient hats producers in France.Two cheap early ish European velours on their way to me

Great lid, Randall.
Sewing in reeded sweats is tedious, but not that challenging.
I have a featherweight and Selco in need of direct sewn leather. I'm intimidated.

Hope to see it in a more detailled post, for the other hat I have no knowledge
It is practically the same as the other lightweights, Stefan. I don't feel it lighter than, say, my Knapp felt. How could it be? They weigh so little.Great catch, Max. I'm very curious about these hankachif felts and how they compare to other lightweight hats. Full report when it arrives please!
