This doesn't match the amazing velour finishes as pre 1940 Hückels but the overall quality is super high (unfortunately some moth damage). More details in the German - Austrian thread.
Thanks Garrett. The felt is very much like the two Mossant DeLuxe I have. I don't know if they outsourced bodies at the time.[huh]Garrett said:Looks similar to the Mossant De Luxe I sold to Sue. Well done, Robert :eusa_clap

Very nice felt, similar to the Cavanagh standard. 2" overwelt brim.
Rodkins said:My first. I have some fine tuning to do on the brim and I don't really know what I'm doing but anyway...

Thanks! I'm very excited to put it to use. I can tell this is going to be a problem. I'm already thinking about my first fur-felt fedora. I have a very addictive personality.ccajackson said:Great-looking hat! I was torn between the Caballero and the Rio Plata when I was buying mine - I went with the Rio, but based on your hat, I can see I couldn't go wrong either way. It looks very nice as a dress hat.
I can't presume to give advice on the brim, but there are plenty of knowledgable folks here who'll be able to help you.
Cheers!
