Steve,

You have some gorgeous hats. I particularly like the ones with the 7/8th inch to 1 1/4 inch ribbons. It seems many of your fall into that category.

Your lid today was spectacular, MiamiB!! A killer brim.

Rick & Charlie, Thanks!

Bruno, Thanks! The mid ribbon was popular in the 1950s in Germany and Austria. The look (block, flange, ribbon / bow work) can be a bit different than what you see with American hats (or hats made for the American market) from the same time period.

Dermotta Wien made fantasic hats. I only have two them and I wish I could find more of them. They go way back.

Steve,

I've never really looked at German hats. I'm going to have to take a look. Which do you recommend? Obviously, one of them is Dermotta Wien.

Unfortunately the 1950s and earlier city dress styles are fairly hard to find. They will occasionally pop up on US eBay but most of the ones I find come from German or Austrian eBay. I also have some other sources. The most well known German maker is Mayser and for Austria P. & C. Habig Wien. Up to WWII J. Hückel´s Söhne (Austria) and C.G. Wilke (Germany) and were giants. If you check my site you can get a better idea of the makers (see below). I am a big fan of pre WWII Austrian Velour hats. Finding a Dermotta Wien would be very difficult. I have only come across a handful of them and none that are pre WWII.

Dermotta Wien, one of my favorites.

Very nice looks soft. I see why it would be a fave.

Beautiful lids everyone!!

Warmer weather is definitely here now, we are already getting 100+ degree predictions for next week.

Time for the straws to come out. Today, vintage Dobbs milan

Thanks so much, Steve. I'll check out your site for sure. I always enjoy learning about great hats.

Have you ever heard about Habock? I can't find any info anywhere!
The size label includes the word 'schwarz' so I guess it's a German hat (in this case sold by a Danish dealer)?

Killer Dobbs Rogers!
Hatophile the Melton is swingin' and the vintage tie hits it. Great look. Between you and MiamiBruno (who knocks 'em out on a regular basis), you guys almost make me regret not going into some kind of necktie wearing career.
Many sweet hats yesterday guys.

I don't know how that happened. Not enough coffee yet I guess.

My new Vintage Silhouette fedora arrived yesterday. I'm still as delighted as a kid who got an electric train for Christmas.
