German & Austrian Hutmachers

Trachten models are my first love, and this one is a beauty. And the feather is fantastic as well. Thanks for posting.

Thanks! Unfortunately the photos do not do justice to the quality of Velour.

Alois Pichler Wien, 60cm probably 1930s. The paper label behind the sweatband has a Alois Pichler Wien mark but it could have been made by another company. The felt easily dry creases and has a very nice finish. Unique interior with white sweatband and liner.

P. & C. Habig Wien, 60cm probably 1980s early 1990s. Could have been made by Mayser after they got the brand rights. This one was sent to me by mistake by a seller. Very nice felt for a later hat so I decided to keep it.

Looks Great Steve! We can't get enough hats, haha!
I also bought a Mayser Trachten Hat today - It was a Church Bazar - I found it was a buy worth.

Steve, Manfred, you guys are hitting the jackpot lately. Great hats!

Steve, I like the new avatar.

Harv, Thanks! I have a couple more plus a lot of information I collected at my recent revisit to the Bad Homburg Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Hat Museum.

 

[Chepstow]

Steve, Thanks. The Mayser is in new condition, like never worn! Very stiff fur felt that is what I like.

Harv, thank you very much! [emoji16] This Trachten Hats you find very often. Not all are beautiful and I am not really a Fan of it but that hat fits perfect and looks fantastic. He will get a lot of head time!

Thanks all for the likes, guys you are too kind!

H.B. "Prima Weser Hut", 59cm, 172 grams, probably 1920s (hard to date could be earlier or later). Believe it or not this Wool Stiff Felt has a mirror inset into the liner logo! The liner logo has the initials H.B. and the paper label has the initials H.B.B. so could be Heinrich Balke Bremen who was a hat whole seller. Weser is a river that flows into Bremen so this makes sense. "Weser Hut" is trademarked so will see if I can find anything.

Mirror inset into Liner Logo!

Manfred, Thanks! I had to have it!

Congrats Steve, the liner mirror is the best hat detail I've seen yet!

 

[mayserwegener]

Mike, Thanks! I have to agree.

Steve, I can't get over that liner. It super cool! I know you are happy to have that one!
