Hutproduktiv (Wien) "Standard" possibly later 1930s early 1940s but hard to date. I am pretty sure this is a shade of dark blue because of the farbe/color number. I like the lower crown with wider brim form. I haven't worn this Soft Felt in almost 4 years. I found it back in 2017...- mayserwegener

Echter Velour - Soleil, possibly later 1920s early 1930s. The paper label is missing and no company mark. This is the only Velour that I have that is actually marked "Soleil". The Velour is very light in weight so a Super Zephyr. :) I think it has a great overall look. I haven't worn this...- mayserwegener
