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.

1920s or 30s?

You're about reading my mind. I was thinking this hat might be right up Depp's alley!

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.

Villa Hans Hückel. Neutitschein. Post Card from 1909. Correspondence in Czech.

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.

Alan, Super! I just posted its Euro cousin.

1920s or 30s?

I think Bob’s info on the store put it likely between 1913 and 1928

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

I'm sure you're enjoying reacquainting yourself with the March 1973 Playboy you had stashed under the floorboard in the closet. I hear the Joe Frazier interview is great.

Nice Charlie... I have a Churchill milan too, also with a bold striped pug. Seem to remember it says something about Switzerland inside.

DUDE! A TOP HAT! I LOVE IT!
I don't know why that makes me so happy but it does. That's on my list of things to get. I'm looking to build a black tie and a morning dress ensemble soon. So I'll be looking for a decent topper.
Thank you for showing a different way to wear a topper.

Stetson 150. I had forgotten about this one. I left it several months on a custom hat block, and now it fits perfectly, even if it's marked 7 1/8. I think it might have been a 7 1/4 in reality.
