This P. & C. Habig trademark was registered in 1989 by Angelika and Barbara Habig. Barbara Habig revived the brand in 2006 but doesn't appear to be any recent activity.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Standard Velour, probably 1930s (maybe older) but I think it was modified (sweatband and ribbon) at a later date.

Found this rare HESS Fedora in hunter green from 1946, I guess the stamp schows 1946, on a flea market today!
It's an Antilope finish! The photos could be better but I had not enough time for some better photos! I will show better photos next time!

Manfred, The Hess is fantastic! What a nice surprise! I am not aware of the Hess mark. Also nice felt / finish on the Lord. I assume no maker details?

Steve, Robert and Alan, thank you very much!

Steve, the Hess is the same Brand as my Homburger and the Lord hat has no paper label inside!

Robert, great ads, thank you for posting!

Wow! Love this hat . . . The look is one that seems to be a nice combination of the German and American ideals of a fedora!
