Hello all, sorry I haven’t been on in a while, it’s been a brutal 2 or 3 weeks for me. I’m trying to catch up, and wearing my Akubra Balmoral for Warm rainy day:

This week I will feature P. & C. Habig Wien & Berlin Hats. The hats will be from the 1920s up to the 1950s.

P. & C. Habig Vienna "Camber" "Export Quality" with "Ventilo", probably 1954 based on the Paper Label. This hat was made for the American Market. "Camber" was used in Austria and Germany to describe Snap Brim Hats like this one. Really nice Brown Felt with a Over Welt Brim Edge. The Form is somewhat of a throw back to the later 1930s with a very wide Band and frayed Bow.

The "Ventilo" Felt Vents can be seen at the upper Sweatband edge.

Simonds cap, and a Monsivais & Co.
wabash face mask on the Masked Corona Crawl. Got up early and walked down the hill and along the coastal path to the beach. No wind, very mellow surf, and lots of sun as i swam out way past the surfers, right in front of the lifeguard tower. The lifeguards are cool. Walked back into town for a take-out poke bowl at an outside table. Pretty quiet in town, nobody around.

Day 26 of 31 Hat Parade: With only a few days left, I am going to spend my last few days featuring some of my favorites, winter hats and formal wear. Fedoras have always been my first love when it comes to my collection, so here is a classic. Mallory was one of the original hat makers along with Stetson, Knox and Cavanagh. This Mallory XV is a model from the mid 1950s that has all the bells and whistles. A shark's gill ribbon, wide brim and tall diamond creased crown. Many hat makers had the cost of the hat as a model name, this one cost $15 in 1955, a fine sum indeed. There are 50s and even the finest a 100 (bucks!). Moths, or more specifically, their babies love to destroy felt, wool and other clothing. This one wears it's battle scar on the crown, with a moth bite all the way through the felt. Since these last few hats will be varied in style and I'll be in my sweats on the couch, archive images will abound.
