You wear a felt hat while mowing the yard?! In warm/hot country besides?! I sweat to death mowing the yard in shorts and hatless anytime the temp gets to 80.

That one for some reason doesn’t get that hot. Makes good shade.. and was getting into evening. And there were shorts. LOL

A real prize, that one!

This week I will feature P. & C. Habig Wien & Berlin Hats. The hats will be from the 1920s up to the 1950s.

This is my last entry of the series.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität" Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a, 58cm probably early 1930s. This hat was made specially for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII. Everything (felt, sweatband, liner, ribbon, workmanship) about this hat is of the highest quality and in excellent condition. The sweatband is very similar to some P. & C. Habig Wien Silk Top Hats of the same time period. The medium weight black felt has a very soft hand and easily dry creases. It also came with the original P. & C. Habig "Hutmacher" Wien Hat Box.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Best Extra Extra" "Patent Ventilator", probably mid 1890s. I brought this one out because I mentioned it the other day. It has a taller more concave Crown. The condition is very good considering the age. I have a good number of hats from Gustav Kramer Frankfurt but of course not this old. Signed Frankfurt, November 2, 1897.

German week 5 comes to a close with day 7 (weeks usually come to a close with day 7).

Haven't posted all my German hats (there are a few stowaways here and there), but it's a good time to close German week. Let's do it with a two hat day.

Love the color combo on the Konsul, Stefan. One of my favorites of yours. What country is next?

I don't remember this one. It's a new favorite.

 

[Frunobulax]

Damn that’s the nicest modern production hat I have ever seen. What colour is it?

Thanks, Johnny. The color is Natural, and it use to have an orange/rust ribbon. I replaced it a few weeks ago and I'm much happier with it.

June is bustin' out all over... so I busted out the Buffalonian. Purchased about 100 years ago from our venerable Kleinhans store. (Not by me.)

That velour is nice, Joe. The Borsalino looks a little too nice for mowing duty.

Great hat and shirt Michael

Thanks Joe. I pulled out my summer shirts over the last day or two. I guess I was just in time as the forecaster man says 96 for a high tomorrow.

I don't remember this one. It's a new favorite.

Thanks Bill. I've had it out here a few times, but it is relatively new to me. Maybe a couple of months now. I was looking for a hat with a wide and shiny brim binding for the longest time and this one fit the bill just right.

Thanks all,
Michael

Just channeling my inner Eric there. LOL. Though the condition this one showed up in.. I don’t have too many worries on it.

I have a shirt in that style I picked up at a thrift... whenever I wear it I can’t help but hear in my head.... Men men men... men....men.men.men
