: I spoke to Ron about the Huckel,
: Apparently it is a very soft Fur Felt hat that will not hold a "snap" brim.
: Details:
: Huckel
: Color: Dark Brown - Brim: 70 mm, Crown: 125 mm
: Fedora
: Color: Mid Brown Brim: 65 mm, Crown: 115 mm
: The color seems OK. Crown appears OK from picture but measurement seems a bit low.
: Ron will post further information and pictures soon.
If those stats are accurate, it would seem that the first hat is basically the same size as the Nostalgia. I believe the 125mm translates into around 5 inches. This was my deciding factor in ordering a Bushman, by that I mean that once again it seems a 5 1/2 inch crown dress hat is rather a hard item to find at a reasonable price. Still it appears to be a fine hat. regards, Steve
