Thanks very much for the information and links - fascinating history. The illustration of the factory shows another time and place for the popularity of hats. The label in my hat shows Nový Jičín and the word under "Tonak" is Gazeta - a style, I'm guessing. The velour finish is very beautiful... low lustre - it looks like a normal felt, until you touch it.
