Hey all!
Tis the season for green hats!
This Alpenland Trachten that I got a few days ago is quite green. Even has a great seasonal color name...cypress!
It's a mystery as to where in the German speaking world it was made. All there is is a tip sticker and a generic looking factory tag. No stamps on the thin unreeded green sweat.
The felt is thick, stiff (especially the underwelted brim) and has a coarse, hairy feel to the hand. I thought maybe a wool blend, but then I have a P. & C. Habig with a similar finish. Having no experience with European wools or blends I can't say for sure, but it is much more pliable than the Litefelt and Dynafelt hats I have had in the past.
I wonder if I can find a tiny string of lights to put on it...
Have a great day!

It's a very nice hat. I've had only 1 green hat, It was a Borsalino Avgvsta. I should have kept it.
