Sorry Esther, lunch demanded my attention. I may well have to take you up on that offer :)

Today's choice of hat is inspired by @Daniele Tanto 's long hair felts, @mayserwegener 's black german and austrian hats and @EstherWeis ' lovely ladies' fedoras. This is a black Austrian long haired fedora from Mühlbauer's in Vienna:

The felt is so unbelievably soft to the touch, you just can't stop stroking it. Here's a close up of the texture and the ribbon:

1930s Bergen Hatters. One of the more unique hats that hangs out at my place.

@mayserwegener - That black Liberty hat is interesting, I love the colour of the liner. I wonder if Liberty refers to the London department store...

Pictures of today's hat will follow later...
Yes it could be a possibility. I don't have a list of English hat companies because it's not my focus. I will have to take a look and see if I can find any that match "C.W.N". One of my friends thinks the figure head in the liner design is Jugendstil. Here is a clearer look at the hat.

Great looking Mühlbauer Long Hair. Is this a current model? I see they have a small production department but I don't believe I have come across any vintage hats (brand or shop). They aren't in the 1926 Austrian Hat Industry Guide. It could be they were Women's hats focused.

Testing it to see if it's enough hat for my trips today.

The pained expression on my face seems to indicate that it is not faring well.

Not at all sure why I gave my brother-in-law my Tilley Winter hat when he was on his way to a month and a half in Florida.
