I don't own any contemporary hats, but I could be tempted to collaborate on a project with Bob. His eye for style and detail is very impressive. That's a great looking hat.

That era & style has fast become one of my favorites. Originally cloned from one of yours.

A contribution from the French hats production of about forty years ago.
They arrived in Italy a few days ago and considered the resurrection of this thread, I show you three different types of heather.
Bouteille - Chazelles sur Lyon

Chapeaux Renommes

100% Laine

Karson - Vrai Feutre

Chinè Envalira

Chinè=thread of different colors

Morreton - Liclon

Nuance: Borcal

"Softline" Impermeable

The Karson and Morreton have mostly furs in the composition of felt and both are really soft

That's about as good as it gets. Outstanding, Alan.

Wonderful looking hat. Is that a vintage hood the hat was made from? As I understand it those heather felt hoods are impossible to come by.

No it wasn't. Not sure how Bob does it.

I think he sources them from Tonak, but I might have just assumed that. I quite like mine and I've actually worn it in plenty of rain to no ill effects.

I didn't know they still made those. Good to know. Thanks, Jared!

This thread needs a little bump and this hat belongs here no doubt. Stetson Severn heather felt. Made under license in England. I'm a bit unsure about the ribbon to be honest. It may need to be changed at some point. Overwelt brim at 6cm and crown 11 cm at the center dent. The felt has the softness that's common with these heather felts.

Borsalino Cicosca in misto stagno. Size 56, felted ribbon, overwelt edge at 6cm with four rows of stitching. Unlined with a crown patch covered in cellophane. Qualitá extra extra superiore and weighing 94 grams. Sold by Melegari of Milan.

Patterson&Co trilby in a size 57. Overwelt brim at just over 4cm, so a real stingy. Felted ribbon in black. Crown a good 11cm at the center dent. The felt is almost identical to the Hückel melé I posted last week, which was a nice surprise. I've had a Patterson hat before and that one was very stiff indeed, while this one is very soft. Too big for me and not my preferred style. But a well made hat. Mid to late sixties I think.

Just reviving this thread a bit after I saw @Tukwila's Mallory heather today. Decided to add the heathers I've posted recently.
Hückel Melé homburg in a dark grey heather felt with a semi-longhair finish. Brim sits at 5,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. There is more taper than usual on this hat, which is why I put these old-fashioned looking side pinches in it. Gorgeous hand to the felt and the liner is still sewn in. It doesn't have the usual Hückel Welheim size tag and hanging cord. Early sixties would be my guess.
