I'm nominating you (again) for a Lifetime Achievement Award, Steve!

Charlie, Thanks! Hopefully I am just getting started.

My favorite thing about these hats aside from the obvious incredible finishes are the amazing interiors. It's too bad they are hidden from view while wearing. Thanks for the update Steve

J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Loden", Point 6, NOS condition, probably 1930s factory stock. This one is from my latest Czech find and everything about it is fantastic (in my opinion )!

Thank to Steve for this Huckel parade. They are fantastic!
This one is my personal choice of the last J. Hückel´s Söhne gems displayed

Daniele, Thank you! I like that one too. I will wear it on Monday.

Mike, Thanks too! I agree about the liners and sweatbands.

As requested: Hückel "standard" in heathered grey, made for A. Breiter Munich. Not exactly a homburg, but a curled brim early dress hat. Size 5 1/2 (58 european), with a 6cm brim and 11cm crown at the pinch. Reeded sweatband (some damage there, with the reed sticking through the reedband in places). Nice clean liner and unstitched double bow (no signs of it ever having been stitched to the hat). Gorgeous soft felt with an overwelt edge that has been worked into a D'Orsay curl. The hat takes on a wonderful swooping curve if you put it on.

Stefan, Thanks! A great edition! I hope you find more.

My pleasure, gentlemen. I do hope to find more of hats like this of course but you do need a lot of luck to find any. It does make me wonder though where a hat like this was all that time.
