Heather and Yon...

Hard to tell from the photos, but I am guessing sueded finish rather than heather.

I'll get a closer shot in sunlight when I get home.

Wow Guys! Sometimes these old threads really bring out the best in everyone's collections. Enjoyed these posts very much. Now I want a finish like this in my collection.

The reemergence of this thread inspired me to do a heather comparison. A few photos below, you can see more in the Side By Side Hat Comparisons thread.

Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing, Alan.

I'll continue with my own heather, even though I cannot hope to compete with Alan's great collection.
Adler, size 55, in grey. Probably woolfelt. Brim at 6cm and crown at 10 cm in front.

Be careful, Mike. They are addictive!

Stefan the Adler and the Borsalino misto nebbia (in Padana plan it is often present) are my favorites!
Yes, to have heather felt or "misto" as we call it here, it is necessary some amount of woll to have colors inside felt

Daniele, thanks. The Borsalino is one of my very favourite hats. As you know I try to add heather felt hats to the collection whenever possible.

Stefan, It's an old (probably 1930s) Wegener. Old Wegener Soft Felts are very rare finds.

Also the "Rein Haar" was made by Mayser.

Excellent! When I pulled my heathers I forgot to include the Standard Quality. Great to see yours.
