An early ‘50s Resistol today.

P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin "Special Qualität" with "Auto Cape". The hat was made for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII. I think it might be from the 1935 because "35" is last number on the paper label number sequence.

The Austrian Patent (133275) stamped on the sweatband of the above P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin Melone with the felt insert that P. & C. Habig Wien called "Auto Cape". The patent claim is to make a stiff felt hat that is resistant to denting and the felt insert being a part of the invention.

Drawing from the French Patent(756192A).

This is the Austrian Patent(133275) from 1932 and an addendum from 1936.

This is the French Patent (756192A) from 1933. The translation might be a bit more clear in this one.

The inventor Adolf Sindermann has a good number of hat related patents. His company was a major supplier of felt stumpen, capelines, finished hats and probably a supplier to P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin.

That is fantastic, Mike.

That’s a superb hat Mike! I’m very impressed with the bone color and your hat has some great proportions. I’m also liking the kettle curl brims more and more.

Thanks guys! I am working this into more of a curl to the brim. The stitching is a nice detail. I was going for the classic Lord's Hat style, a Homburg dressed down with a pinch and no obvious brim binding.


I really want to do a Pacific Northwest hat shop tour.
I'd love to get in on that myself...
Come on out! Tukwilla and I will find a way to host a most excellent adventure!

Fantastic, Mike. I need to get back in the queue at NW Hats.
It is getting longer and longer. Mike is awaiting a new baby in the next couple of weeks, he may be taking some time off.

A very unique, interesting and stylish straw, Michael, and the threads are fantastic.
Thanks Tukwila. I was very surprised when I turned this one over off the rack in my favorite thrift today and saw it was another Hopoka straw. I like the one I have and this one may ultimately be in a bit better condtion. I found the Botany 500 3 piece today too, at a different thrift. I think it is a mid-60s vintage.

What! I’m in his queue for three hats. Babies are alright, but hats surely come first!

His last email was to apologize for the delay and to blame it on some demanding customer who’s always coming in distracting him from his hat making.

When Emma gets a little older we will be headed that way!

I saw a buntal straw today, similar to one I saw posted here recently. I was thinking it was posted by you? Although this one has an unmarked sweat; no "u-roll-it" or Bailey mark or anything other than a size sticker hanging from the sweat. I would have paid the $10 for it, but the misses didn't like how it looked on me...like that stopped me before, hahaha!

Nice hat for that money. I think it might have been Bob Hufford that had the buntal western. I saw a nice vintage Stetson straw a week or so ago, but it was a size big for me and I think $25. Bit too much for my wallet.

I knew I saw it posted here recently, but I couldn't remember who exactly. It fits real well for a 7-1/2, which can be a little large for me sometimes. Maybe a return trip is in order? The owner there is funny. He'll put $30 on a moth-bitten rag of a Stetson, $45 on a mediocre worn out Resistol, but $25 on a nice Dobbs 20 or Knox 15 (they are just WAY too small, like 6-7/8).
