Oberbayerische Hutfabrik gmbH. Miesbach "Edelweiss-Hut" "Chamois", 58 cm, 1955. The Chamois Felt is really fantastic (color, finish, hand) and easily dry creases. This is the first of a seven hat find.

Matt, Yes, this is one of two.
Very nice, Max. Cool colour combination.A Whippet Vita-felt. The felt is very different from that in my other, younger Whippets. It is very thin and obedient, with a good hand.

Rockel "Velourette", 58 cm possibly late 1950s. The finish is Chamois like so I would be interesting to know why Rockel chose the "Velourette" name. I have one other "Velourette" and it also has a Chamois like finish. I really like the Ribbon and Bow design. This is the second hat from my recent seven hat find.

Brent, Thank you! I agree about the bow. It's a unique twist.Great hat all around, Steve, but that “bow” is just cool.
I’ve added a screen shot of this ribbon and bow to my files for custom hat ideas.

Took a chance on this Champ Feel The Felt with porkpie-eque crown and 1950s style back bow not knowing the size. Labeled size turns out to be 7 1/4 but only a tad loose. Interesting change of pace styling. Will see if this one sticks around.
