Interesting, Steve.Steve, Thank you! You are correct. It's rare to see such Sweatbands on Soft and Stiff Felt Hats.
Here is a J.Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" Homburg.

Steve, I have some other Stiff Felts with white or light gray Sweatbands. Here are a couple Anton Pichler Graz Stiff Felts with White Sweatbands but they are possibly late 1920s and 1930s. In general new high quality Stiff Felts in Central Europe were formal.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
....the last is for a Movie but features a man in a Tyrolean.....I like them all but my favorite is the inside the hat shop illustration stamp......
Great finds, Mark. Do you have a clearer photo of the text for the Braune?Circa 1915, German Poster Stamps.....First two allow the hatter to stamp their information, the third according to google translate (which does not always account for 100 year old language differances very well) is for Brown's Discount Market and advertises their Top Hats and indicates "you are a wretch if you don't have one"
This is about it...some of the problem is the printing.....
Thanks Mark. That is a fun rhyme, though not all of it is decipherable.
Mark, Super! I have some of these stamps. This is my favorite.Circa 1915, German Poster Stamps.....First two allow the hatter to stamp their information, the third according to google translate (which does not always account for 100 year old language differances very well) is for Brown's Discount Market and advertises their Top Hats and indicates "you are a wretch if you don't have one"
I can see why that is your favorite!!!!Mark, Super! I have some these stamps. This is my favorite.

Mark, Thank you!I can see why that is your favorite!!!!
I just received some advert items I think you will like.
A very interesting find, Steve. Fashion related articles can be of great use when detecting changes in style, new trends, etc.DIE BÜHNE (Wien), "Kleider machen Leute, der Hut — den Herrn", Von KommerziaIrat Richard Schwarz / THE STAGE (Vienna), " Clothes Make the Man, The Hat— The Gentleman", By Commercial Counselor Richard Schwarz, Issue 232 1929. Österreichische Nationalbibliothek
What use is the most beautiful suit, if hat, tie and shoe are not in harmony with it or even shabby!
Unfortunately, it is still not clear to every gentleman (or, say, every Austrian) that he can give his appearance only through the correctly chosen tie, the correctly chosen hat that harmony, which appears elegant and distinguished. The Englishman and the American have recognized this for a long time and this year they turn their wisdom all the more eagerly as the fashion is particularly colorful.
What is modern? What’s gonna be modern? The lightweight velour hat, which is a specifically Austrian product. It is already heavily bought by England, France and America. One hand washes the other: in return for this comes the Panama, which was already worn strongly last season in England and America. Ecuador is already rubbing its hands with pleasure.
As far as the shapes are concerned, the "Snapper" is no longer bent slightly at the front, but rather strongly. On the other hand, for elegant wearing it is not bent at all and lets it, in its calm form, imitate the "Homburg" a rimmed hat . This elegant hat still reigns supreme, especially in bright colors.
For those gentlemen who love their comfort and sigh heavily under the torments of the proper suit during the heat of summer, I also have a joyful message: The American fashion of jacketless is also becoming a fixture in Western countries in Europe, and is likely to permeate our territory as well. In the summer you will wear the silk shirt with the beautiful, cheerful tie and no jacket - with a light, elegant hat, which will be either a "Snapper" or a Panama. So also with this half negligent dress it will be the hat, which gives the outfit and the whole appearance of the gentleman the elegant touch.
Side Note: I usually avoid fashion related articles but I found this one interesting because it mentions a Light Weight Austrian Velour Hat and a the Jacketless trend / movement circa 1929. The bottom right photo is of a man wearing a slightly snapped (normally worn without snap) Lightweight Velour with tie but without jacket.
That second picture is killer....I have never seen a camber style worn with a "short snap" like that in an ad...most unusual BUT that is what happens on those hats...I have a German Camber just like that that I tried to snap to that same result...but to my eye appeared "off" (as it does in this ad to me) so I just wear it brim up.....as an aside It was modeled that way (short snap) and had been worn that way for some time....when it arrived and I decided I did not like it....I gave it some steam to restore the full flange. I did get it from Germany........DIE BÜHNE (Wien), "Kleider machen Leute, der Hut — den Herrn", Von KommerziaIrat Richard Schwarz / THE STAGE (Vienna), " Clothes Make the Man, The Hat— The Gentleman", By Commercial Counselor Richard Schwarz, Issue 232 1929.

That's the great thing about hats, they don't all fit one shape or style.That second picture is killer....I have never seen a camber style worn with a "short snap" like that in an ad...most unusual BUT that is what happens on those hats...I have a German Camber just like that that I tried to snap to that same result...but to my eye appeared "off" (as it does in this ad to me) so I just wear it brim up.....as an aside It was modeled that way (short snap) and had been worn that way for some time....when it arrived and I decided I did not like it....I gave it some steam to restore the full flange. I did get it from Germany........
Steve, Thanks! I agree but my guess is the brim is not so stiff. It's Camber like so would probably cover the eyes if fully snapped.
Mark, I agree. As I mentioned above if it was fully snapped it would cover the eyes.That second picture is killer....I have never seen a camber style worn with a "short snap" like that in an ad...most unusual BUT that is what happens on those hats...I have a German Camber just like that that I tried to snap to that same result...but to my eye appeared "off" (as it does in this ad to me) so I just wear it brim up.....as an aside It was modeled that way (short snap) and had been worn that way for some time....when it arrived and I decided I did not like it....I gave it some steam to restore the full flange.

Oh yes....THAT would be one to leave the feather.....as it did likely come with it.....I have a few like that...and I left them. NICE hat...love that color! It's a shame it is not a size 60......Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau", 59 cm possibly later 1950s. The Chamois Felt is lighter in weight and easily dry creases. This one has a unique braided Band and unique small feather (probably to match the band).
