Another great find, Randy. You're on a roll. Love the crease on that Eagle. Nice chocolatey colour and ribbon combo, too.

Fantastic Hückel Chevreau, Daniele. Very similar to mine. Yours has a wider ribbon I see. How does one date these beauties? Yours could be 50s, mine could be 60s, or vice versa. The cross over from late 50s to early 60s is also a factor.Emerging from my summer slumber, the temperatures are these days of 36-37 Celsius, with a new purchase
Huckel Chevreau size 59, well preserved, except the ribbon which has small spots
The hat is in perfect German tradition, very well done and with quality finishes.
It is a classic of the 60s German hats production
My dating is very empirical, but certainly my friend Steve (owner of a Huckel mine of the same type) will know how to give him an age and something else to complete the information framework
It was sold in Mulheim in the Ruhr, under the Huckel brand on the sweatband there is indicated that it is waterproof.
The dimensions are: open crown at 13 centimeters, ribbon at 4.5 and brim. edged and finished with a seam, they are 6.5 cm. The felt is of medium consistency and suede finished
Meanwhile, settle for this, as soon as it is a little cooler you will have the contents of the two boxes coming from the Netherlands, now it's too hot. Be patient
Hope our mutual hat friend and German/Austrian hat expert Steve can help us both out date wise.
Whatever the decade, 50s, 60s, later or earlier, we each have two wonderful Hückels that we're both looking forward to wearing this autumn and winter.

Thank you, Steve. I'll have to think on that some more. If the temps are in the 60's/70's F, I may be "forced" to take a Stratoliner or one of my Dobbs felt hats! Although...the felt Mayser I have is used to air travel!

That’s such an unusual and compelling hat. It’s certainly unusual and I’d wear the heck out of it this summer.

It will definitely be worn alot, fits like a dream. David spent almost an hour with me fine tuning the brim shape and head fit. The beaver portion I wanted modeled after the hat he did for Pierce Brosnan in the series The Son, but I wanted a more teardrop shape and a panama crown. The Half-Breed is one of his favorite custom hats because each one is so different. He said I can bring it back anytime and change out the crown for something different if I get tired of upper panama. It's a "Wyldkarma" design.

Great looking hat! Pretend that I was computer literate enough to type a superscript little 2 = Brent Squared.
This is a hat I’ve needed for a long time. Thanks to an assist from Max, I now have my own Brent!
5 1/2” open crown. 2 3/4” underwelt brim. The crown has a bit more taper than optimal, but I still like it. It’s a bit snug, as expected, but it’s close to fitting now so a few days with a band block should do the trick.
I’ve sworn off looking under sweatbands so any tags or labels hidden there will remain a mystery.
Thanks again, Max!

The "premier" is one used for both markets as well. I'm thinking though they limited the number of designations in later years. The later hats I've seen have been either premier or royal.
Nice find, Georg. Cool weave on that one.
Must have been their number one hit. It is a lovely hat, Daniele. The bow is wonderful.Emerging from my summer slumber, the temperatures are these days of 36-37 Celsius, with a new purchase

Not exactly new, because it was posted here before (just not by me). @Garrett has been kind and generous enough to let this one make the journey home to Europe, for which I can't thank him enough.
Echter Borsalino. Nobelsca model in the colour misto Lodola. Not strictly a homburg but a soft felt hat with an overwelt curled brim. Anyone calling it a homburg anyway is immediately forgiven. A substantial hat with the brim at 6,5cm and the crown 11,5cm at the center dent. Quite lightweight for a hat of these proportions with just 117 grams on the scale. Fits me like a dream. Mid-twenties to mid-thirties is an educated guess.
