Love that midnight blue. Great shape and that upscale retro ribbon treatment is the kicker! Reminds me of my Dunderry

That’s. Lot-a hat and a lot to like. Nice, Joe!

Thanks Brent.. a bit of an unknown (hat) brand. But a very well known name in the American fur trade during the 1800s entrenching Astor (Astoria) as one of the most wealthy families in history.

I do not know who made this hat… but they did a heck of a fine job.

Joe, Thank you! I think I will continue with Stiff Felts and then shift to Curled Brim Soft Felts.
Fantastic Astor - Hats of Distinction from you today! You guys are keeping this thread going!

Much appreciated Steve

C.a.K. (Císaři a Králové) Dvorní Továrna Na Klobouky / Kaisers and Kings Court Hat Factory , J. Hückel'a Synove Vídeň / J. Hückel's Son Vienna, Alois Pinkova Hradec Králové (due east of Prague and was Austria Hungary at the time) possibly early 1900s. This Stiff Felt has a wide Brim with a very tight Curl. The Liner and JHS Crest are striking. Also a great looking textured Sweatband, I found this Stiff Felt back in 2014.

Speechless....

Wow, those lapels are wide! It looks great with the cut and the fabric is great! Love the pop of color. Do you follow the “rule” and match the width of your tie to the width of your lapels?

I never care about this silly rules...

It was a TAR (green thin *** ribbon) morning.

A minty sage Stetson Stratoliner was my walkabout choice.

A peacock green Stetson Stratoliner was my coffee hat.

An older sage Stetson Stratoliner was my trimming hat.

Happy TAR to all!

Thanks Stefan…. I’m not quite sure why I’ve had it hiding out... definitely needs to get out and about more.

Reddy is always popular. I think it's the only hat I have a pin on.

Have not posted for a while. I visited Savannah recently and wore my Akubra BGG style master in case it rained but failed to snap a photo. Too busy eating everything I could. Here are some photos from recent weeks. Gannon Playboy, VS chocolate, and Wolfbrae Nutria were the only ones I got photos of. The light streak on brim of Gannon is just a reflection. The Gannon is in Granite.




Last one is older photo to show color of the Wolfbrae.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Grand Prix Paris" possibly around 1900. There was a newspaper from 1903 behind the Sweatband so my guess is this model was made around the time of 1900 Paris Grand Prix. I was very lucky to find this Stiff Felt back in 2021.

The Band and Bow blocked by the Brim Flange.

Similar Stiff Felt Forms, Also P. & C. Habig Wien Crest with "Patent Ventilator" from a P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin Catalog, possibly 1890s.

A truly wonderful early 1900s Bowler, Steve. The lettering on the sweatband is certainly art nouveau, which befits the period.

I especially love the brim flange curve.

Great find!
