Thank you, Steve. I guess there are afficionados for this style as well, but I'm just not one of themStefan, Definitely nice Velour. Yes, a Trachten Hybrid form of the time period.

Mayser "Superbe", 60 cm possibly mid 1950s. This is a really great looking Camber form. The light Brown Felt is of high quality and pliable. Very thin Over Welt Brim with a Mid Width Band / Bow + Wind Cord. Also works great Snapped Brim.

Not German or Austrian, but I believe, Swiss - is anyone familiar with a hatmaker, Eichenberger. I am awaiting a purchase of one from Zurich and have seen a few posts on the Lounge about the brand over the years without anyone seeming to have any information about the brand itself. It had been a while, so I figured I'd check again. Anyone?

No detailed information but Eichenberger & Cie. appear to go back to at least the early 20th Century at the location listed "Eichenberger & Cie. Goldbach Bern". I had to visit the Library Congress back in 2012 to get the following info from the "Kelly's Directory, Europe 1963".
There hasn't been much activity regarding Swiss Hat Companies but I did start a page a while ago.

There is one example of a Eichenberger & Cie. Soft Felt.

I actually recently made a Stiff Felt find from Hochstrasser & Cie. Wädenswil Zürich.

You could try contacting the Bern City archives to see if they have any detailed information on Eichenberger & Cie. I am focused on the German and Austrian Hat Industries.

Thanks. I had seen some of these over the years, but once I get the hat, I will post in the Swiss Hat forum and let everyone know what I find out.No detailed information but Eichenberger & Cie. appear to go back to at least the early 20th Century at the location listed "Eichenberger & Cie.

My feeling is the Swiss Hat Industry was very reliant on outside sources especially for Felt (hoods, capelines and semi finished hats). I am not aware of any Swiss Felt production.
