My pleasure. Haven't had the chance to look much further yet, but here are some more pics:

The Wien Museum has many more of their hats hiding in their vaults, check out the Europeana Collections site for more pictures and info - a lot of other nice hats to be found there too.

Celia, Thanks! Great to see that the Wien Musuem has some great hats in their collection. It's too bad the photos are not very good. It appears like they are being shot behind a glass window.

I did a search on Herrenhut and this is what came up. Some very interesting hats!

Hi Steve, thanks, all is fine I hope the same for you!
Flea Market in January is a special think, the weather plays a game with snow, rain, frost and so on. Maybe next month will bring a better weather!

Manfred, It's been very cold here but warmed up some today. I hope the weather clears so you can hit the Flea Markets. Also to get some great Bratwurst at the Dortmund Flea Market. :)

I see, the Bratwurst in Dortmund are in your memory lol - but in mine too [emoji23] It is one of the best Bratwurst in the area and that is true! If you come again we eat two of them!!

Yes, they certainly have a treasure trove there, and it is great that so much of their collection is available online now, but it's a shame about the quality of the photos. I would also like to see more images of the inside of the hats...

It appears the photographer had to stand behind a glass window. They are probably really strict about access which makes no sense to me. Totally agree about wanting to see the under sides of the hats. I made sure to fully document the men's Stiff and Soft Hats in the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany archives.

"Orion", 58cm, Crown 6 inches Open, Brim 2 3/8 inches probably late 1930s. No company mark and most likely made of wool or wool / fur mix. This is a common man's hat that rarely survived. The felt has a great color and shine to it and can be modeled into any shape. Also I really interesting light weight liner. This is one of four hats that I recently found from the same source.

I don't know how often I found a hat that history is a great mistery! The Wisko has a nice liner and indeed, very unique!

M, great Vent sweatband. I own a Habig Ventilo with the same details! A nice feature!!
