I just found my second Velour-hat, a Hückel Crystall Velour with a very nice lining, not shiny, with a fine ribbing. It's a 57 in a dark turquios. I added my black Mayser Orion in one of the photos for colour comparison. It's definitely not black, although on first glance one wouldn't probably notice and confuse it with a pure lighting phenomenon. Brim 5,7cm, height 11cm.
Looks to me like pre-war. Does this (to me) unusual lining tell anything about pre- or post-war?
Looks not as high on the head as the Mayser. What is really different: It feels much softer. The Mayser is really stiff against the Hückel. Don't know what I like more. On the other hand the felt is even thicker.
