The Vimenet, just for it's rich colour, that will compliment almost any attire. Tough choice as always Stefan.

A lovely hat Bill, and such a coincidence in that I have been in touch with The Brass Rooster hat company. Their black cherry hat is a colour that I have searched and searched for. I would prefer though, it if they can offer a different hat ribbon. Fingers crossed.
Thank you, Robert.

1940's Stetson Real Nutria. It's had a rugged life, but it's honest wear. In other words, this is an authentic "distressed" hat, so you can slap a $1200 price tag on it for the bougie/Boujee folks. I've always assumed Boujee came from the word bourgeois.
Fantastic fedora! And I think you’re right about bourgeois. You could definitely hang with Johnny Depp in that one. ;)

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Eureka" "Plume" Wien possibly 1890s early 1900s. Has the Habsburg Double Eagle Crest and K. u. K. Hof- Hut- Fabrikaten designation. Smaller dimensions which were common in the time and place. Very impressive Liner and Sweatband and light in weight. Found this Stiff Felt back in 2017.

What it looked like when I visited Novy Jicin, Czech Republic (prior WWI Neutitschein, Austria) in April 2011. An edition was added and other modifications since 1909. There are three Villas in total.

Nice afternoon for our first 2023 visit to the flea market today... waded through a number of the usual derbies and boaters but found one to take home. Diminutive dimensions (4.5" crown, 1.5" brim front and rear, 1.25" side to side) with a beautifully finished d'Orsay curl, ironed flat and parallel to the brim all around the hat. From the finishing details and Fray textured rolled sweatband, I would guess first or second decade of the 20th century.

You found another excellent bowler, Alan. Thanks for sharing.
