German & Austrian Hutmachers

[mayserwegener]

It stings a bit to see these actually. I had the chance to buy one of these once (for next to nothing too) and I declined. Still kick myself.

Stefan, I picked both up for about 10,00 Euro including postage. For being fairly recently produced they are not that common.

I really like the stitching on the brim.

Max, Thanks! The boxes were less than the postage. They are miniature so just display pieces.

Oh, I thought you were talking about Stefan's hat. Sorry.

Max, Yes I was thinking that. Sometimes it's possible to find a great hat for 10,00 Euros or less.

Stefan, This one is great. I really like the brim stitching effect. I have a couple a different shade gray ones with a similar blue jay feather so the feathers might have come from Hückel Weilheim.

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau"

Hückel Weilheim "Chamois"

Steve, thanks. Would be great to do a side by side comparison of the three. Wonderful looking hats with subtle differences. What would you say is the difference between the chevreau and chamois finish?

That was about the asking price at the time as I recall. Who knew these things come along so rarely?

Thanks, Bob. The stitching is unlike anything I've seen on a hat so far.

Stefan, I will have to do a comparison. I have a good number of them.

Stefan, I went back and checked and they were 1,00 Euro so .50 Euro each.

Hello Guys, it a pleasure to see whats new here. Congrats to the new finds. Fantastic Hückel Steve, by the way.
Today I was in Dortmund with some Friends and one of my Sons.
And of course Bratwurst for the first! [emoji16]
On my way home two new hats which I found on the fleamarket.
A nice light gray Wegener and a black Rockel!
Some photos for Steve’s side!

Both Hats in great condition.

Manfred,

Thanks! Great to see you had a successful weekend. Fantastic band work on the Rocket. I remember the super tasting bratwurst at the Dortmund Flea Market!

 

[Chepstow]

Thanks Steve. The Wegener is definitely a great looking hat too in his lite gray!

Nice finds, Manfred. Congrats. Never seen a felted band before with different felt colours.

It's really hard to see any difference between the Chamois and Chevreau finishes. I would say the Chamois finish has slightly more fuzz.
