That hat is beautiful! Coupled with your inspiration story and vintage yearbook picture makes it phenomenal.

A little gardening, a Filthy Hooligan (too mild for me but pretty good flavor), a spatchcocked 8 pound chicken and some Stella. BOY is it good to be outside. Even though basically alone. Sorry for the same hat, tha campdraft, but I wouldn’t work or bbq in another. Hope everyone stays safe and has a great weekend.

This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after 1945.
J. Hückel´s Söhne "Zephyr Seal Velour", made for the American market, possibly mid 1930s. This is a light weight "Zephyr" "Seal Velour" so difficult to understand without in hand. Only a soft touch is required to form a crease or side dents. The overall condition of this hat is excellent so a prize example. I always have a difficult time photographing this hat because it absorbs so much light (this is why I look like a ghost).
From the front view you can see the gloss effect from the very dense close cropped "Seal Velour".
From the side view the dents are not visible because the light absorption.
Red, White, Blue are the Czecho Slovkia Flag Colors.
J. Hückel´s Söhne 110 Year Anniversary. I was lucky to find this booklet back in 2012.
MEMORIAL WRITING
ON THE OCCASION OF THE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS
OF THE COMPANY
J. HÜCKEL'S SONS
K. AND K. HOF-HUTFABRIKANTEN
NEUTITSCHEIN - VIENNA
From small beginnings, our company has developed over the course of a century to its present size and significance. Founded in the traditional forms of craftsmanship and continued for two generations, it owes its fame. and its flowering, the timely application and exploitation of all technical advances and the commercial prudence and energy of its owners.
The founding of our company dates back to the year 1799. In that year JOHANN NEPOMUK HÜCKEL, born in Fulnek in Moravia, the hatmaker JOSEF HÜCKEL and the ELISABETH GOLD "marital son", was accepted by the hatters' guild in Neutitschein "as an urban master".
Twelve years later, in 1811, his younger brother AUGUSTIN, who had been a milliner in Fulnek since 1808, came to see him. Also he was accepted by the Neutitscheiner Hatter guild on a master job just completed. Each of the two brothers ran the business independently. In 1835, JOHANN HÜCKEL, son of AUGUSTIN HÜCKEL, acquired master craftsmanship and took over the business of his uncle JOHANN. When his father died in 1848, he also took over the business of the AUGUSTIN HÜCKEL and led both together in the previous craftsmanship form on. Manual labor was still active in all stages of production, and the old forms of tools were still in use, which had been in use for manual operation from time immemorial. The finished goods were offered in town and on markets; the shipping and commercial operation remained within the narrowest limits.
But JOHANN HÜCKEL proved his full understanding of the demands of his time. He saw the great advances in technology and realized the need to factory-design his business.

Technically third hat if the day. Put on my Akubra Cattleman To redo my front walk today and had sweat dripping off the end of it before the first paver was done. Time to switch out to my ridiculous French pith helmet. When the wind picks up it feels so nice.
have a great day everyone.

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it...beetroot in your burger, that is - no one in their right mind would put mayonnaise on fries!

Hey, some people even call fires “chips” if you can believe it! Heathens!
I’m going to pass on trying beats on a burger.

Gday Shoe, is that tinned beetroot or fancy fresh beetroot? Our north American cousins struggle to fathom that custom, two great nations divided by one vegetable

Out of a tin. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it fresh over here...what I’d give for a batch mum’s vinegary beetroot!
Pandanus Pacific Brim by Rosie Boylan on the Masked Corona Crawl today. The rainy season is over, it is straw season. Swam out way past the breakers and floated on my back until I looked up and realized that I was in the middle of the pack of surfers, so I swam back in. Da bruddahs are getting used to me slowly but surely.

Every once in a while you see an old uncle out there, but they are mostly young hot shots.

Thanks Stefan. I actually had that welt under the lighted magnifying glass to check if that was a welt or felted edge. I could barely, barely make out a stitch or two on the underside.
What a great color that heather has. Beautiful hat.
Thanks,
Michael
