    Greg, Thank you! Yes, the sweatband is reeded on both sides. German and Austrian Stiff Felt Hats often have such sweatbands. The reed on the outer side of the sweatband creates a cushioning effect.

    Hutfabrik Josef Pichler & Söhne, Graz "Flexible", FP 5 3/4, possibly 1930s. Old Hutfabrik Josef Pichler & Söhne, Graz hats are not common especially in my size. I believe this is Fur Felt with a Chamois like finish. Based on the condition it must not have been worn often. Also a FP quarter size...

    Stefan, Super find. Those are the same manufacture as the ones I remember. Some of them had Dermotta Wien and the sellers (I believe on Etsy and Ebay) were out of the Czech Republic and Cypress. Here is the link. You can keep scrolling down. There are a few related posts...

    Here is some info I found a while ago about Bohemians wearing black wide brim Austrian Velour Hats. Wyndham Lewis (1930) wearing a black wide brim Austrian Velour in such a manner.

    Carl Ceschka Wien, Back Bow, 58 cm possibly 1920s. I think this might be what was called an Artist's Hat / Künstlerhut based on the wide 3.5 inch brim (just don't see brims this wide). The black Velour is of very high quality with very high gloss. I couldn't locate a paper label and didn't...

    P. & C. Habig Wien Hausmarke "Special Qualität Handerbeit", possibly 1957 production date. P. & C. Habig Wien were known for their Homburgs. The sweatband is really fantastic with a elaborate P. & C. Habig Wien stamping. A. Breiter München is still in business today. I have many hats that...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Mayser "Spezial" possibly late 1950s. I had forgotten about this Homburg and the last time I wore it was at least 12 years ago. It's a really nice Homburg and in mint condition. Turns out it's pretty much the same Homburg as my recent Bochert Berlin W. Homburg find which was made by Mayser. The...
