Thanks!
Not sure but looks but it's not of high quality. There were Trachten trends in America prior to WWII but not at the level you see in the 1950s.I guess we all remember this Tyrolean Alpine (Am I correct?) prior to WWII....

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!

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.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...
Good looking and nice finish details."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.
Open Crown
Thanks!Good looking and nice finish details.
Thank you for the additional details!Here is a picture showing the vents on my P&G Habig that I promised....
Also the dimensions are:
Crown 4 1/4" as bashed
Woven crown ribbon 3/4"
Brim 2 1/2"
It also has a loop so the hat can be hung on a hook...
Hope this helps...
