I have to see this hat in person someday.

I just wish it was in my size. My personal favorites are the Hückel Superior Crystall Velour and Hückel Sigma Velour which is in my size. The old light color Austrian Velours are just about impossible to find in any size.

Well, if you've got any 7 1/2s that you would like to set free I'd be more than happy to provide a good home.

Thanks for sharing Steve. I never get tired of seeing such fine quality.

To me it appears that the bow is backwards relative to the dip of the brim. In the photos the loop is in the back and the tails appear to be tacked down facing forwards. Perhaps this hat is backwards; somebody modify this hat at some point?


X-post from the New Hats thread, I found this amongst a load of stingy brimmed, low crowned 60s hats.

Its a symmetric double bow with closed loops on both sides with angled upkick front and back. More common on European hats.

some variants:

Peluche is supposed to be a shag :) But yes, I'm sure after several brushings it will be more tame.
From their website
Peluche: Worked by hand, our Peluche finish is our longest nap finish we offer. The nap is left long and left uncombed.
