The Velour finish is at the highest price point. Even an inferior made Velour hat is more expensive than a Smooth finished hat.
Any idea on this hat maker?it came with a Wegener grey Hom burg and the supplier mainly has German hats.
The label has worn away but it's otherwise a very clean plush velour fedora/ trilby....I'll post better pictures in a day or two.
The condition is generally excellent with about four very small bits of moth hidden in the pile under the brim and nothing up Top...ribbon Is great Too.
The label is pretty nondescript being roughly 40mm Xx mm With no makers name, the liner is sewn in. View attachment 40009 View attachment 40010
Dang that's a beautiful hat.
Josh, Wow it's really amazing! The color and Velour are beautiful. Old S & J Fraenkel Wien soft felts are super rare finds. Also finding one made for the American market. Thank you for taking the detailed photos. This hat definitely made my day!
The Velour looks incredible. Interesting regarding the varying thickness of the felt. Just shows the amount of work that was put in to make such hats. Sorry about the sweatband but hopefully you can take a photo wearing it.
