What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Well spotted—yes it is! So that means Korean War era?

Yes, Sir. 1951 to 1953. What a great find.

Ludovikus Hagens Wwe / St. Veit (Sankt Veit), Wool, possibly early 1930s. Never was able to figure out the source of this Wool Stiff Felt. The paper label has a Sheep with a St. Veit Banner. Sankt Veit an der Glan Schafrasse is a small town in the South East corner of Austria and I couldn't find any Felt Hat production in the town. My guess is this is the source of the Wool used for the Felt. The Stiff Felt Hat was sold by a shop (Ludovikus Hagens Wwe) in a small town (Lustenau, Voralberg) in the upper North West corner of Austria. I found this Wool Stiff Felt back in 2021.

Ludovikus Hagens Wwe (Lustenau, Voralberg, Elisabethstraße 7) was located in the front of this house. Photo from 1908.

Regardless the lack of known maker, that is one super find, Steve.

Steve, Thank you! I like the mysteries as much as the famous names. I will keep posting Stiff Felts without repeating. It's interesting to go through all of them. I started the end of April.

That’s got to be one of the best straw hats I’ve ever seen

It's always great to see hats from your Stiff Felts collection, Steve. Thanks for sharing.

Really? I thought it was one of their regular "Indy" models. Looks good with the wider ribbon, and I like that bronze color. I didn't know there was a third one roaming around.

All I know is I sent them a photo of yours when I was ordering it. It’s a great hat.

This one I am wearing home after fixing it up a bit. Found in the Wild yesterday......for $8 no less.
Needed some cleaning up, sizing and flange work. Center dent with pinch front. I will probably add a colorful pug. I really like the machine weave on this one......

Yes, it's a fun one. I already have the standard red & gold, which is what they would have been in "real life" (patterned after the colourised movie posters of the time) this is a cute addition. Once marking season is done, I need to track down the London Tent of the Sons of the Desert.
