Another fantastic historic find, Steve! Thanks for sharing. I'm searching the recesses of my brain trying to remember if I've ever seen one of their hats, but I don't think I ever did.Thom. Janout, Hat Manufacturer Upper Austria, Linz, Austria (1924)
With the above, I allow myself to submit to my revered friends a catalog to illustrate the most viable hat forms. The number attached to the hats is the form number. All forms can be delivered in any quality, color and design within the shortest possible time and are sufficient to order piece information, form number of the desired hat. Color, quality can be seen from the attached price list and size ranges. For expert flow and the most accurate delivery I take over every guarantee.
Of course, you can also obtain any other form that could no longer be taken under the following illustrations due to lack of space, but should only give you a more convenient order without losing a lot of time and effort. I enable and hope that my revered customer will have taken this hand in a purposeful manner.

Stefan, Thanks! I might have seen a Stiff Felt but not sure. Carl Blum Velour Hat Factory was from this Upper Austria area too.Another fantastic historic find, Steve! Thanks for sharing. I'm searching the recesses of my brain trying to remember if I've ever seen one of their hats, but I don't think I ever did.
Matt, Thank you!That looks even better when worn - great!
Matt, Thanks again! In general they were listed this way in that time period. Some were used for hunting. Also have to factor in that this is Upper Austria so they were more everyday wear.I can only join Stefan: great contemporary document!
Interesting is the term "Sport-Velours" for traditional costume hats.
I recently shot such a sport velour - but from the 50s. I have to take a picture of it...
R. & M. Wegener, 58cm possibly late 1920s. I was happy to find this hat because pre WWII R. & M. Wegener Soft Felts are a rare find. I have one other so this makes two and there are no others here. The felt color and finish are fantastic, same with the form and dressing. Unfortunately the paper label is missing but there is a small size tag.
Gorgeous colour Steve
Open Crown
Julius Müller Leipzig
Circa 1921
Circa 1932
Very cool items, Steve. Nice finds.Hückel Hat Display Tags, possibly pre WWII. If so it would J. Hückel´s Söhne so displayed with 1930s J. Hückel´s Söhne Zephyr Seal Velour.
Stefan, Thanks! I have no way to date them. The seller claimed they were pre WWII.Very cool items, Steve. Nice finds.
As Stefan says, nice finds Steve. Maybe hard to date one way or the other, but that's all part of the fun of finding such super finds. As always, thanks for sharing.Stefan, Thanks! I have no way to date them. The seller claimed they were pre WWII.
Jawdroppingly beautiful hat, Alan. And you wear it so well in the way it's supposed to be worn (brim up). I've had equal success with these suede and wire brushes on velour hats. A winner!Some photographs of a recently received old Austrian velour which has passed through several Lounge member collections before arriving in mine. I am deeply grateful that none sought to enlarge the size or alter form of the hat, which fits and suits me perfectly. I've lost track of the original photos - perhaps Steve has them? Described as an Anton Peschel though all labels are gone so I can't confirm. It's original sweatband shows made in Austria, which, if Peschel, would have the manufacture date c.1914, before the move to Czechoslovakia. At least I think so.
I have owned three hats from Anton Peschel and they show a remarkable similarity despite the fifty years and much tumult that separate their felting. They feel like a fur. American longhair finishes (I have many of these) do not. With the softness comes a challenge in that the hat does not respond well to having the brim worn down in front, as many prefer. The flange is deeply scooped, perhaps to allow the soft brim to remain in position when worn with an upward swoop. I am very happy to wear it in that fashion.
The sweatband and ribbon have been replaced by Art Fawcett. The work is nice and fitting. The photos of the original sweatband show an olive ribbon, which is an interesting reminder of the unusual color palette of my 1960s Peschel. I might look to explore that at some point. The crown showed a matted line around it - likely the remains of an old crease - perhaps one that looks like the illustration in the advertisement below. I have a small very stiff nylon brush (almost like wire) which, with copious amounts of steam, was very effective at lifting this matted area back to its original loft.
Steve, I am sure you have commented on this hat before, but always enjoy your insights from your continuing research into these Austrian hats.

Alan, I think I remember Steve showing this hat on the FL. It has truly come to its rightful home. It looks as if it was made for you all those years ago. As always, you wear a hat well.
