Looks great! It's a Tonak Hückel from Novy Jicin, Czechoslovakia. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after WWII. Does it have a paper label behind the sweatband and mark on the other side of the sweatband? Probably best to post the photos again here so I can respond.

Here you can find more info on JHS than you probably want to know.

Amazing!

Thank you! Great looking Lock & Co. Homburg from you today!

Is there NO END to the fine felts that you so frequently find?! Fabulous, Steve!! What do you think is the age?

Charlie, Thanks! I found this one about a year ago but I came across it again last week. I am not really sure about how old it is. It has the look of a late 1920s hat but it could have been made a bit later from old stock. I really like to find old hats with the tip patches still present. This one is exceptional because it was never worn.

Tweed Adam today.
Not normally a tweed fedora guy, but this hat is probably the nicest tweed fedora I've ever seen.

 

[moehawk]

Yeah... Absolutely a killer bird.

Thanks mmb!

I know next to nothing about Huckel, but I know that is a great looking hat.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Very nice color and finish on that felt, and beautiful contrast color for the ribbon. Fine looking hat, indeed.

There is no end to the amazing hats on this thread... I doze off for a couple of days and when I get back, wow!
Not much of a contribution on my side today, my wrinkly wool hat pushed back in order to see the incoming traffic... do you take your hat off for driving? I guess it's a must if you're really tall...
Anyway been busy getting a crowdfunding campaing ready for Barcelona's Stroll with a hat (we give free commemorative badges and with 2500 people expected to attend and no sponsors we're in deep s**t). Any how you're all cordially invited to attend, it's a free gathering and it's fun! We even have an English version of the poster

Gannon beaver, dark brown on this lovely valentine's day.

I didn't mean to scowl.

All things serve the Beam.

Looking very sharp.

Thanks T-Bob. It worked out well today, not too hot, not too cold.

that right there is everything ... I've been tirelessly searching for this hat to no avail
I would give up 3/4 of my collection for an early Playboy in this colorway

Thanks Anthony. Seriosuly it is serendipity that it found it's way to my hands. I accept that luck is a higher percentage than effort/diligence in finding the "gem" fedora. Like you I have found vtg. Playboys are not vtg. Playboys. I can still dream of the vtg. Stetson Playboy with Vita felt, lightweight felt w/ 2.5" brim w/stitching, crown vent holes, working wind cord, gray felt with charcoal/blue ribbon.

That dream is still alive at my house. I enjoy the hunt! Ahhh, it may be a dream but Anthony, like you I, I continue the diligent hunt.

Thanks for the thumbs up sir! I tip my brim in an easterly direction, Eric -
