I'm seeing both sets of pics just fine.

First set of photos: Negative

The second set looks great

All good this time. Great looking hat.

the first set still appears for me like this.. odd it works for some and not for others. Maybe a browser thing.

Fléchet Pilote Imperméable. Size is 59, but it's unfortunally more like 57,5. So i have to stretch it.

A new $9 Goodwill project hat arrived this afternoon. Think well call this one the " Blank Slate Mystery" hat. No Liner, no tags, and except for one little round Stetson logo imprinted on the sweatband, no markings at all. The man made fake leather sweatband is pretty much hardened and has a rip in it, so I may sew in a decent leather sweat. Maybe a nicer ribbon treatment. Oh well at least it fits lol.

Actually in pretty decent shape. Black, fairly stiff felt, ribbon hatband, 3" raw edge brim and about a 5" crown. Center dent crown similar to this mornings Key Club. Kind of a stiff almost cowboy hat weight felt in a wide brim fedora-ish shape. Definately a fur felt and not wool... prob a Royal level felt. Just needs some cleaning and love.

Dont know what it originally was, but its mine now lol. Let see what I can do with it

Never let it be said that I don't get out of my comfort zone regarding green hats. Here's proof.

Edelweiss fedora in green velour. Size 56 (but feels smaller) with the raw edge brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. As expected it's Swiss made, but I'll admit I did also expect some more precision from the Swiss. The felt is wonderful (colour aside), but the finishing is mediocre at best. The sweatband is toast, the ribbonwork a bit sloppy and the liner is sagging. It can all be remedied, but still...
Looks like it's from 1961.

And, believe it or not, another one in green!
Rehfus fedora in green. Size 56 with the underwelt brim at 6cm and the crom at 10,5cm at the center dent. Attractive shape to this one and an interesting ribbon treatment. Some damage to the brim edge and the reed, but very wearable (if you like green). Don't know about the age, but I have not seen a Rhefus label like this one before.

Nice finds Stefan. I’m not so sure you camera likes green hats either... I’m not picking up much green till I get to the underside of the second hat. Those green/brown Loden felts can be so difficult to photograph and the color shifts so much.

Well, that's a relief! Thanks, Joe.
