Thank you for posting the Hat here. I am not sure what German Hat company made this hat. I haven't been able to find a matching paper label so far or some other clue. "Wildleder" is fairly generic branding so not sure that will be much help. I will update if I find anything.I just got very little info on this hat ( hut)
Welcome to the lounge. Very nice to see that many Wilke hats together. We like to see more of them individually of course. Please post more pictures of these hats if you can. The one in the upper right is of special interest.Greetings from Guben, Germany.

Very nice, thank you. That is a fine older Wilke hat. If you're not experienced with refurbishing hats, I wouldn't start with this one. You can of course use some leather conditioner on the sweatband (avoid the string that runs through it). Cleaning up the liner is another thing altogether.This one is the
