Sunemar Hats of Hungary

[jeffgarf]

There has been little discussion of this fairly modern hat manufacturer (circa 1977 or so) from Hungary here on the Lounge, but from time to time their hats appear here. The first was from @Pellie in 2021 and there have been others under different brand names (including Borsalino by license), many, if not most, made for the Jewish market.

I believe that they have taken over from Tonak/Hückel and then Fernandez y Roche as the largest, non-Borsalino, producer of hats for this market (even producing some for them under license). Until now, however, they were never produced under their own name anywhere I have seen.

I was just told that they have opened a custom factory here in Israel (the first of its kind) and are now selling hats under their own name. See a video about it here, although you may need to change the language in the YouTube settings.

We also discussed it earlier in regards to an Albertini hat you owned.

It was a fine looking hat. I bet I could get that one at the factory shown in the video. Despite the plethora of black, they did say many other colors available.
