Lovely hat Steve!

Thank you, Héctor.
That was a great looking, pre WWII Stetson bowler you were wearing the other day. Definitely a style for you, my friend.

A beautiful hat I got from Bob H some time ago. It has a cool ribbon and it fits like a glove. It is a very nice hat, period.

Bowler? Bowler? Lol....Thanks Steve, it is definitely and acquired taste. I stashed it away with the only Homburg and the only Lord I own.

Man, Beautiful color on that one. what do you think the '1/2' means ?

Tim, Thank you! Interesting question. About this time last year I asked (by email) Gustav Menschel the last factory director of S. & J. Fraenkel Wien, Ebreichsdorfer (Austria) Filzhutfabrik (closed 1971) and he wrote the following.

"½ Etui(Et.) is an indication of Stump* weight, about 120 g. More accurate values, I have not."

"Unfortunately I can not tell you why the term (Etui) has been used by some hat factories."

*Stump is a Felt Hood.

Etui is a french word which has various meanings: scabbard for glasses, holster, case, was used in hats production to designate the felt cone
