German & Austrian Hutmachers

[Steve1857]

Thanks, Steve. It was one of those hats you can't leave behind.

I can see that. Happy it was your size, sad it wasn't mine [emoji6]

Römer Hut in "Stratoliner" style. The felt is fairly stiff and thin. Unfortunately no tags and only a very weak sweatband imprint. Difficult to estimate the age.

Great colour, style, matching binding, and thin ribbon. You wear it well, it wears you well. You both look good. In short: I want one [emoji4]

Georg, Looks great! I have a Römer Hut "Antelope" but have no idea about the maker. Is the liner stitched in or glued? Here is mine.

They both are the same style. Mine has a grey sweatband, the liner is sown in with a protective cellophane layer.
Is a glued or sown in liner an age indicator?

For German made hats there is a shift to glued in liners around 1960. My guess is my hat is slightly older (based on components).

Very nice, Georg. You wear it very well.

Circa 1930's Carl Ceschka's Söhne Wien

Size 5 1/2 punti (7 1/4 U.S.) (58cm)

Beautifully heathered charcoal felt with black ribbon. Excellent condition for its age with the leather sweatband being supple. Unfortunately not my size so this is currently for sale in the classifieds.

Garrett, Thanks for posting the detailed photos. It's a real beauty!

That is a beauty, Garret. Max is a lucky man if he's managed to bag that one.

Congrats, Max. I can really understand why you pulled the trigger on that one. It's a beauty.

I was in such a hurry to PM Garret that I kept making typos.

Ja, you were really quick to respond. Nice catch. Looking forward to the photos of you wearing it.

Die Meister Marke (= The Master Brand) "Turin Mohair".
Made with Angora goat wool.
Originally a Trilby; I converted it to a Pork Pie.
Possibly from 50's - 60's.

 

[mayserwegener]

Super! Probably early 1960s.

I usually see these hats in grey, so this was enough reason to pick this one up, even if it wasn't in my size. Hückel Welheim Chamois in brown. Size 57 with the bound brim at 7cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. As always with these Hückel Chevreau or Chamois finishes the hand of the felt is outstanding.

 

[mayserwegener]

Stefan, Great find! The thinner ribbon is also unique for HW hats.

 

[Steinbockhase]

Mayser "Kadett" in "leicht" weight.
Converted from original center-dent to teardrop and modified with a thinner ribbon.
