Yep, that would work. Not that easy to find good examples of fabrics that are suited for this though.Nice hat and a very cool replacement liner. I found some nice printed fabric patches with "Pin Ups" on eBay; these would probably make good hat liners as well

Nice hat in a good shape. The Germans made a great many different branded hats. You can post it in the German and Austrian Hutmachers thread too. Only if there's a label inside it there's some chance of finding out who made it.Came home from work to find a box on the table, new hat!
Received my Matador today.
The crown is 10.5cm tall
The brim is 6cm wide.

...I don’t think I’ve heard “roach clip” in a few (30?) years.
It's probably later 1950s early 1960s. My guess is if it had a paper label there would be no company mark which was common with such hats.It’s stiched in

Thank you for the additional information. The no company mark hats with such brand names were common in this time period and later. They come from distributors / wholesalers in most cases. I have been able connect some of the trademarks with the distributors but rarely the hat companies that made the hats (or if some of the distributors had hat making facilities which I tend to doubt).Contacted the seller, paper label was already out when they got the hat but as far as they know from the previous owner, the hat is from the 1950-1956 era. It’s from somewhere in Germany but not known where exactly.
