That's a keeper for sure, Jonathan.
Nice combinations there, Marcel.
Nice hat and a cool herringbone coat too.
That looks so pristine I'd be afraid to touch it. Gorgeous.
Nice pic! All those hats! One of these days I've got to get down that way.
Lovely heather felts!
Wonderful hat, Steve, but that hatstand is something else!Halban & Damask Wien "Echter Velour", possibly 1920s. This Velour was made for Norwegian market. I believe this is the only Halban & Damask Wien Hat on the FL. They were a well known Hat company in Austria but it's nearly impossible to find one of their hats. I really like the Bow design. This Velour was found back in 2012.
Halban & Damask Wien Brass Hat Display Stand. Probably from just before WWI so displayed with a period Hückel Melone. I found this back in 2010.

Really nice, Brent. You can have a lot of fun playing around with the shape of that much crown.
Exactly, Robert. Especially if there are church ladies involved; they seem to have eagle eyes for that sort of thing.
