Oh dear, you know what that means? She will want her royalties. Actually we are on film but it's the early video format, what I need to do is take it to an expert to remaster into digital and then upload it on YouTube.
We are off to what promises to be a great night tonight: Gangsters, Molls & Prohibition is the party theme and there's only one outfit for that. Long Island Tea, anyone?

I saw a video of you, GHT and Mrs GHT, dancing somewhere. You two cleared the floor and left ALL the youngsters literally spellbound and breathless. A sight to behold!!

Starting the morning in a Stetson Royal Deluxe. Dimensions like an open road but has a three ply ribbon and a much more saturated color than most other open roads.

Does it have a tag & block #? I'd say it's blocked different than an OR.

Is that Moonstone? I have the adventurer in Moonshine.....didn't start off as a favorite, but it goes with everything, Jeans - YES, Khakis - YES, Blue/Gray Suite - ABSOLUTELY. FED IV, hanging around waiting to save the funds to purchase soon.
Yessir, it is Moonstone. I agree with your assessment on the colors versatility. It's kind of a light battleship grey, if I had to describe it in terms of actual color. I'm liking it a lot.
I really like the adventurer as well, but I'm slowly sanding the brim down closer to the Fed Iv dimensions. It's pretty close at this point.

P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin "Special Qualität" with "Auto Cape" probably mid 1930s. This another unique + special Stiff Felt. The Austrian Patent (133275) stamped on the sweatband is for a felt insert that P. & C. Habig Wien called "Auto Cape". The patent claim is to make a stiff felt hat that is resistant to denting and the felt insert being a part of the invention. The hat was made for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII.

"Auto Cape" drawing from the French Patent(756192A).

This is the French Patent (756192A) from 1933. The translation might be a bit more clear in this one.

The inventor Adolf Sindermann has a good number of hat related patents. His company was a major supplier of felt stumpen and capelines.
