What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Steve, Thanks! I wish I could access the paper label but what is left of the sweatband is worth preserving. Your Stetson Open Road 4x is fantastic!- mayserwegener

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Echter Borsalino possibly late 1920s early 1930s. I have no idea what this Soft Felt looked like originally. The felt is very thick and stiff which is not usually associated with Borsalino Soft Felts. I have no idea if this stiffness is a later result. The Sweatband was crumbling so I decided...- mayserwegener

Echter Borsalino "Sandurbar" possibly late 1920s. The color is "Ossido" and the Felt is of medium weight and very pliable. The Crown Tip Patch is missing but there are some glue remnants. I found this Soft Felt back in 2022. Recently I was able to locate the shop "F. W. Hammer"...- mayserwegener

The Resistol Roundup
Yes, Dobbs too. I am not sure or I can't remember who had the license. I agree many Americans after the WWII.. My friend that owns a hat store in Augsburg said the Stetson - Mayser Hats sold at a higher price so didn't sell well.- mayserwegener

German & Austrian Hutmachers
Stefan, Thanks! I haven't seen a non black Resistol Homburg Hat but my guess is they had them because Wegener had brown, gray and blue Homburg Hats. Could be that there were far less Resistol - Wegener Homburg Hats and black was by far the most common color. That's just a guess. :)- mayserwegener

Knox Boater Hat Mystery
The Hat Maker Kurt Wismer still makes Yeddo hats (Röhrlihüte). He is most likely the only one making them. :)- mayserwegener
