O wow! Love everything about this hat. Colour, form, velours felt, liner, ribbon; the whole package. You had Daniele so excited he fell back to Italian mode. I hesitate to post my latest find here now, because it would look a bit dull by comparison. You spoil us, Steve.

Stefan, Thank you! I was very happy to find this one.

At the risk of looking a bit dull compared to Steve's great Hückel velours, I'll give it a go anyway. We had a Resolut here a while ago and here's another one I found recently. Resolut homburg in brown. Bound brim at 6cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. There was a covering of some sort of the crown patch, but that is gone. The quality is "strand". There was a question on that with the other Resolut hat, because the label wasn't clear. I'm very pleased with this one and I like the curves it has. Late fifties to early sixties I believe.

Stefan, Great look Homburg! It's super to see another Resolut find. They were located in Köppern near Bad Homburg. Thank you for the verification regarding the "Strand" quality designation.

Time for todays installment. There are similar hats on Steve's website (of course there are), but this is not an everyday hat. Peschel Chevret in black. Size 55 (but fits me quite well with only a little stretch). Overwelt brim at 5,8 cm and crown at 10cm in front (no pinch). This one had so much dust covering it that I thought it was grey at first. Aside from that it was shaped in a sort of pork pie shape (looking like a pilgrims' hat with the top chopped off and the buckle gone). But the quality of the felt shone through and you don't see Peschel hats all that much, so I bought it anyway. I brushed it, steamed it and reshaped it (some ghosting of the previous shape can still be seen). And there you go. Not everyone's cup of tea perhaps due to the taper on the crown but the felt is incredible and it does have some flair to it. Late fifties or early sixties (I looked on Steve's website for that I admit).

Stefan, Super! Yes that style was popular in the later 1950s early 1960s. A. Peschel Dinkelsbühl Soft Felt Dress Hats have become more difficult to find (their Soft Felt Trachten Hats are common). A. Peschel Dinkelsbühl made very high quality hats.

Yer welcome. I'll keep looking.

Thanks, Bob. Keep hanging on; it took me a few years for this one to cross my path.[/QUOTE

Manfred, thanks. I was lucky it came along and even luckier that it fit me.

Steve, thanks. The Peschel was a nice find and that felt is really something.

Could be better Steve, at the moment it's hard to find some good hats!

I so agree Chepstow about it being hard to find good hats at the moment. it's the same here for me in Denmark. If it wasn't for the wonderful Daniele Tanto, I'd be hatless .

Nice Mayser you found in Düsseldorf. Looks a bit like the one I did manage to find in June. I posted it in the New Hat Forum. I wanted to post it here, but had difficulty working out the "new" FL.

That is such a great find, Steve. Where and how did it turn up?

I posted this in New Hats yesterday, but really wanted to post it in this forum. I couldn't work it out yesterday. Today, Eureka! So, here's the repeat version:

Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been on the Lounge and posted something. Life keeps getting in the way plus I can't seem to work out how to post on my new phone and computer via Tapatalk. The Lounge seems to have been updated, too. Can't quite work it out. Hope it's not a sign of old age

Anyway, I thought I'd try and post a vintage Mayser hat I acquired in June. It's the first hat I've discovered and bought since buying two from Daniele Tanto in January. Hope you're well Daniele.

It's a lovely golden brown, soft felt Mayser. Here are some photos.

And now, the follow up post:

Another cool thing about the hat was that it had the original owners initials punched in (so typically German) along with his calling card inside the hat band. He was a book printer and publisher. Anyone have an idea of the date. I'd say 50's-60's (Maybe 60's-70's).

Thanks Steve! Yes hard days for good hats, but I have enough. All what I find I'll be thankful.

It's very comfortable, Karl. It has 56 on the label, but fits my 58 head. Either it's marked incorrectly, or has been stretched. Whichever, it fits very snugly.

Very nice Steve. Could be from the 60s early 70s.

Steve, Thank you! I found it on German Ebay. I look for hat related items like this one.

Steve, Super! I really like the ribbon design.

 

[mayserwegener]

Albert Funk Hut=Fabrik Bamberg, paper bag, probably early 1900s. I received this last week. The bag appears to have never been used.

Albert Funk Hutfabrik became Bamberger Haarhutfabrik in 1922 so the paper bag has to predate 1922.

Steve, Super! I really like the ribbon design.

Thanks, Steve. Ja, that was one of the things that drew me to it. I saw it from a distance at an outdoor fleamarket. I could feel immediately it was going to be a good find. Love that feeling.
