Garrett, you are correct. Also, a wonderful green heather that I believe both Josh and Alan have owned. There may have been a 4th hat in that purchase. All marvelous hats.

That's a parade of hats that is just jawdropping, Garrett. Wonderful to see these; thanks for posting.

Yep, a stunning parade for sure.

Garrett, were you ever able to make something from that old brown longhair Michigan hat we traded some years back? I can't remember what I named the file so can't find photos of it...

Alan, here is your original post for that one:

The felt is simultaneously dense and thin so I've kept the same bash and side curls (the Alan taco shell brim we've coined it). It does well as a travel / packable hat. Here it is without the curls:

Awesome... thanks for sharing that. And for the namesake coinage. ;^)

Great stuff, Alex! Is there a tag under the sweatband of that Hückel?

Fantastic! I'm guessing its WWI era. Hopefully, Steve will chime in with more info.
