The royal road remains open. So I progress along it in my week of seeing what hats and three piece suits look like together.

Cristina - Hoping you have great success on your Hat Stroll. The same old hat still looks great. And you do look happy in these photos.
That is really great news. When should we charter an airliner to all attend?
Absolutely stunning Daniele!This hat is the generous gift that Steve took me straight from Vienna.
In his research of "perfect" velour he has found a couple of magnific hats, one arrived in the United States, the other has stopped in Verona. Thanks Steve!
Huckel Platin sold in Wien. H. Peder was the seller
The felt, really soft, is black with some gray shades
The shape is that of a hat made in the thirties although to date it Steve is the most reliable source
Clean, combed and put in form is returned to its former glory
These are the last days to wear the hats of velour, heat advancing undeterred
The hat is a piece of history of glorious Austrian hatters of the last hundred years
Thanks for the likes for the other velour presented with the brand Borsalino as maker.

No sun again today, in fact quite a lot of rain expected. I'll have to put on my Woolrich raincoat when I go out.
I'm counting on the Stetson to keep my head dry.
Gorgeous hats being shown here this morning at the lounge. Get your tickets now.

This is one gorgeous hat Eric. I get excited every time we get to see it.A hat for going places - vtg. Stetson Royal De Luxe Stratoliner was my hat of choice for a dog walk this morning.
Best to all, Eric -
Thanks Michael the worth goes to Steve. The beautiful, in the search of the hats, is the discovery of some cover head that you have never seen or tried. This one is special, but is a the spur to find others. Allow me to tell you that I could say the same thing for the suits that you wear. They are fantastic but you have a sort of magic path to find fantastic suits and apparel. In some way you make me want to "rediscover" my italian taste (that is strong and in the tradition) to look with new eyes to "Three pieces" men dress, jackets and coats. That's important. So since you are a small size hats wearer I suggest to look at the European market where you will find treasures. If you need a "native" scout let me know
Steve is the man who deserves the worth!
This is just perfect, Esther!
I dig those glasses , Cristina! Perfect look with your hat.
That's a great look with the OR to top it off, Michael! I need to find one in that color.The royal road remains open. So I progress along it in my week of seeing what hats and three piece suits look like together.

Mine is a method to avoid, if possible, to get more older than what I'm!
Hello Daniele, Great to see this fantastic Velour in action! Yes I am pretty sure it's from 1930s. If you have a chance could you please post some detail photos in the German and Austrian thread. I am not sure if I have a record of another "Platin" quality.This hat is the generous gift that Steve took me straight from Vienna.
