The Bowler or Derby Hat

Most excellent, Steve. It's always nice to find a favourite maker with features you don't often see in their hats.

Great find!

Steve, Thank you! Yes, I was surprised when I saw it.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume", FP 5 3/4, 160 grams, possibly early 1930s. Great Form and Finish. Striking Liner Design that I have never seen before from JHS. Same with the Sweatband type and the Stitched in Liner which is not common with Stiff Felt Hats.

The Stitched In Liner black thread is visible above the Paper Label.

As Steve said: Most excellent! Congrats, Steve!
