What is this hat?

[jlee562]

Aren’t they made in Spain and finished in the UK? Maybe I’m mixing brands up.

I wish I could remember where I saw the promotional video for Christy's that incidentally showed a Lock sweat die...

I'm not sure if the whole line comes from Christy's, but at least according to this 2012 report from Permanent Style's visit to the Christy's factory, they "supply" Lock and Bates. I do wonder about the Cambridge bowler, which only seems to come special order from Lock.

I am a milliner and collector of vintage men's hats. Now I am setting up a webshop for stylish vintage men's hats. Can anyone tell me the name and / or history of this model made by Peschel? This model doesn't seem like a pork pie or a gambler to me. Hopefully someone can help me further.

Welcome to the lounge, Hettie. Always good to see another collector of fine vintage men's hats from the Netherlands here. Unfortunately the pictures of the hat didn't show up in the posting (at least not for me). Can you give it another go?

steur, she posted a second instance of this thread a bit further down in the Hats forum that includes the pics.

Ah, thanks. I missed that one.

Not a porkpie or a gambler, I agree. To my eye it's a fedora with a telescope crown. Not exaclty a full telescope crown; it seems the crown didn't have enough depth to get there completely, but I'd still call it a telescope crown though.

I refer to mine also as a modified telescope but it certainly holds its teardrop lineage. Another of those "in-between" creases, I suppose.

Anyone know what style this Hückel is called? I wouldn’t call it a homburg and the blocky crown looks odd. The bow is also unusual. Maybe Steve @mayserwegener can share his insights?

Interesting to say the least.

Brent, I think it could be for the Orthodox Jewish market.

I had wondered if that might be the case. Thanks, Steve.

Gentlefolk,

I was re-watching a favorite Star Trek episode for the umpteenth time—Time's Arrow, a fun time travel one involving Mark Twain—and found myself wondering about Twain/Clemens' Panama:

It's almost a short-crowned top hat, but with no flange on the brim. Or possibly a boater, but the crown is higher and more flared than boaters I'm used to. Does anyone know if this style has a definitive name, or who might be making them these days for the budget-conscious dilettante?

 

[moehawk]

A flat-top porkpie maybe?

Except for the nap, my first thought was that it looked like the kind of hat that might have been worn by a Mortician a century or so ago when presenting himself to the family of the deceased. Of course, as usual I have absolutely nothing to back up that thought. I tried to find a photo or two, but it seems everyone in the funerary profession wore Bowlers, Top Hats, or some form of Coachman's hat, none of which matched this hat's shape or furryness. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
