Josh, Super informative review! Regarding binding seam alignment vintage German and Austrian hats (stiff and soft) are always (maybe a rare exception) aligned with the sweatband seam. I think overall better quality control.
Thanks, Steve!
After seeing all the wonderful vintage Austrian/German hats that you have posted through the years, I would absolutely have to agree that on the whole, mass production quality in Austria/Germany was superior than the mass production quality in the USA overall. The vintage Austrian/German hats that I have owned in the past have truly been almost flawless pieces.
