Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau" probably late 1950s and recent arrival.

Thanks Fruno!
Shirt is a Versace.:)
Hat date is from some sleuthifying and deductualization.
Maple leaf in the crest, post '52.
No O.P.S. sticker, latter half of '53 and on.
According to Jimmy the Lid's dating by price thread, Royals went from $10.50 to $10.95 in '56. From that I inferred that in '55, they were $10.50. Mine has a price of $10, so my date of ca.1954 gives me a half year wiggle room on both ends.
Elementary.:)

Sounds like impeccable logic. Good sleuthin'.

My hats tips towards all the brave folks wearing hats in the continued cold weather. A wool cap for me today.

Thanks for sharing. Stay cozy.

Best, Eric -
Love the color and pattern on that wool cap. Nice. Stay inside, wear the hat, but stay inside and warm.

Hey folks!
I'll play Whippet Wednesday with this ca.1954 offering.

Man I love that Whippet! I think the shirt is nice too, just not in the same space (your body), nice look. Fashion warrior!

OK, decided to go with this Mossant bowler, as the previous color combo reminded me of some really bad tie-dye I saw once. And cannot ever unsee.

More praise for the Jiffy steamer...this is the heaviest and stiffest bowler I have. It had lots of...errm...character beaten into the crown. I got out some of the big dents but lots of little ones remained where the sides of the crown curved over into the top. Previous steamers I owned had little effect on the thick felt. 5 seconds in this turbo steam jet softened it enough to work out all but the tiniest of microdents and nanolumps. Big improvement!
Have a great day!

That stiffy is looking really clean and new John, I gotta get me one of those Jiffy machines.

Had no intention of leaving Casa de Bama today in light of the frigid weather but a late afternoon beer count indicated otherwise. Dorer bar 50 went along to keep my head warm.

Lovely shape and color Steve. That feather looks exotic, I think it would stay if I had this hat. The liner is superb!

Based on the forecast and complete lack of resources to cope with winter storms here, I am assuming that work will not happen tomorrow. So I'm treating tonight as a mid-week Friday and going out to chill with some coffee, WWII history and a Knox Madison Avenue.

Have happy times, everyone. View attachment 100688 View attachment 100689 View attachment 100690 View attachment 100691 View attachment 100692
Very wise of you to stay warm and refreshed under that Knox. Whatcha reading?

Thanks Fruno!

Prepping for the storm in an Art Fawcett felt made in "dove." It sports a 2-5/8" non-dimensional brim.

Another improver of Wednesdays John

Ummm...Urban Dictionary is your friend...:rolleyes:
And thanks! Not too often can a year be deduced without a dated receipt or stamped sweat.
I agree that the shirt and hat should never again be worn together. I looked like an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a sherbet war.
