Pelschel (Dinkelsbühl) Hut, 59cm probably late 1950s. Very nice Silver Gray Velour for a later time period. This one was made for retailer Carl Zeumer Zum PFAU (Peacock).

Nice ones Chamuco! The country club is especially speaking to me, probably because it is nice and hot here now. Perfect weather for one like that.

Tonak "Efekt?", 60cm, Crown Open 5 inches, Brim 2 5/8 inches, NOS condition, probably late 1940s early 1950s. The felt is of high quality and easily takes a dry crease. Also a very nice overall form. This one is from my May 2016 Czech find.

Interesting in this case Tonak choose 1869 and not 1799. The 1869 date was when JHS became a public company. This change might have been due to trademark issues.

Yet "150 let (years)" is based on 1799 to 1949. Also the Sweatband is made of a canvas like material.

A couple Akubras. Pics then commentary,


The black Coober Pedy is the stiffest Akubra I have received yet. The next good rain will see it outdoors for sure. It does not have the Opal on the band. It does have four vent holes, but the lowest one is not functional because it's under the sweat. Curious.

The tan hat is a Flinders model, my first heritage grade Akubra. It's nice felt and a nice sweat, but close your eyes and throw it on the table with my other worn in Akubras and I don't think I could pick it out.

Two more for the rotation?

New Akubra Reef, this Hemp Akubras are very, very, very nice.

Only issue is that the people at Akubra always puts the pugs put of place, hat to reset it, very easy.
