Heading back to work shortly. What hat should I wear? Best to all, Eric -

Mike, Thank you! Rehfus & Cie are harder to find so I jumped at it. They made very nice Fur Felts and were especially known up to WWII for their light weight "Zephyr" Stiff Felts.

That seems to be some serious German in this advertisement. What’s your opinion, Mayser, is this difficult language? I can’t see this being meant for the typical working class of the time.

Here’s my translation:

At the top it says it won a bunch of golden medals across Germany, then there’s the logo and then it says, according to my clumsy translation:

“The lightest and
most elegant stiff
gentleman’s hat never before
matched. The trademark
is born permanently in
gold lettering on the
sweatband.
-Wonderful ventilation
from a new system.-
On hand in the finest
hat stores
at home and abroad.

I’m not even sure if this translation is quite right - the funny grammar makes this advert quite challenging. At least these days i’ve only heard very educated Germans use this kind of grammar. This seems to be an interesting artifact of the class system in 19th century Germany - quite a difference from the typical American vintage hat advertisements I’m familiar with. It doesn’t even list a price!

Thank you for sharing this!

One of my favorites, Matt.

Thanks D.

This vintage Adam Executive arrived just as I was leaving for work tonight. It’s a homburg conversion by our own bond aka Scott. Colors are awesome and the work is impeccable.

Fantastic Bill. Yeah... those colors are awesome, and then some. Scott does such a great job on those conversions.

I do believe that of all your hats, that is the one I covet the most. You don't see those colors on homburgs very much. Just exquisite.

I've been out of the office having to pretend to be a grown-up way too much this week. Happily, this morning is the last one. I'm wearing the blue Dobbs Fifteen for the occasion.

I hope that each of you have a fun Thursday full of great hats.

The finish on that western is so inviting. And...you know, redheads are so hot!

Thanks Red. I'm not normally that attracted to this sort of crease, but on this hat it seems just right. I changed it once or twice and always went right back to this one. The shape and the long hair just seem to work together. I still have no good clues as to what fur the cap is. But I can attest to it's warmth. I had to stand around outside waiting for 45 minutes earlier this week when there was a 25 mph wind blowing with the occasional flake of snow streaking by and it kept my head and ears nice and toasty.

Thanks,
Michael

The color and lines of this conversion are just perfect. I need one of your creations.

Thank you, Red. Maybe we could work something out.

Yesterday was New Hat Day, as I took delivery on a recent eBay win.

So far this morning we have a Dobbs Fifteen and a Resistol Twenty-five. I'm coming in with the low bid in this Mallory Ten. The auction photos weren't the best, and I prayed it would clean up nice, but what I received yesterday was beyond what I expected. Fantastic (and very pettable) felt, an interesting dark gray color, sharksgill bow, wind trolley, felt and sweat in great condition, what more can a guy ask for?

Gave it a good steaming and brushing before work and put a quick diamond in it.

Man, I love the smell of steamed vintage felt in the morning!

GILLS!!

Cool edge treatment. The binding is wider on the bottom than the top, resulting in this bound and stitched top edge.

I'll take better shots when I can for the Mallory thread. It was dark when I got home from work last night, and dark when I got in this morning, so I haven't even seen it in natural light yet.

I wish everybody a Youthfully Smart Thursday!

Wow! What a beauty. The color is really nice, and with that ribbon, is exceptional. You sure did good on that one.

That is a fantastic Resistol.

A Beaver Twenty homburg of similar vintage hangs out at my house. Its felt is extraordinarily light and supple. I bet the felt on yours is even nicer.

Is that a Cavanagh Edge I spy on that bad boy?

Extraordinarily great Mallory. The edge is interesting and the color looks wonderful.

Youthfully Brilliant, Jim.
