I love that Lee—don’t remember seeing it before.Good Tuesday to all from my neighborhood.
I took a morning walkabout in a thin ribbon Champ fedora. This "Felted By Master Craftsman" hat is a 4X Quality.
An excellent value for $8.95.
Morning coffee was enjoyed under the brim of a Knox Westlite Dallas.
Knox fedoras have the details down pat.
I pulled a hose around and started to water a section of the lawn seeded with new grass seed. A minty Lee Cameo (Black Label) was my working fedora.
This hat was sold at Hirsch's Mens Store Bel Air, MD.
Cheers to all, Eric -

Very cool bowler, Steve. These Negretti hats seems to have been popular. Now and again I see one pop up."Negretti" "Special Qualität" "Adonis" possibly early 1900s. I don't know the German Hat Company that made this Wool Stiff Felt but hopefully one I will based on the Factory Trademarks. Negretti is a type of Wool that can be used to make hats. This Stiff Felt is light in weight (110 grams) and with smaller dimensions. The Negretti Wool Felt is very dense which results in a very smooth Finish. I found this Wool Stiff Felt back in 2010.
Negretti Merino
This type of sheep grew also a very fine wool but showed a low-set compact body. While great stress was laid on the quantity of greasy wool yield and dense wool growth, the tough skin finally developed heavy folds on the neck rump, haunches and tail. The fine wool produced was especially known for its high content of lower solving grease. At the beginning of the 19th century, breeding activities in the former Prussian provinces of Silesia and Brandenburg tended to overcome the disadvantage of overemphasized breeding developments of the Electorals and Negrettis. They tried to combine the adverse advantages of both breeds by combination. This resulted in a fine wool type called the "Eskurial" or "German Thoroughbred Sheep". In the middle of the last century, the production of superfine wool ceased, due to the requirement of longer, coarser and less crimped wool. Breeding of the former type of sheep became unprofitable through insufficient yield and falling prices for finest wool.
Nice one, Joe. I like the look of the felt and that crease is wonderful.TAR Tuesday - old unknown brand western
