Panos, Thank you! I failed to mention there is no mention of "Hückel" on the sweatband or liner just the trademark with JHS. The only other examples I have like this are these two JHS "Standard" "Loden" Soft Felts (see below). It could be related to the locations and or time period in post WWI...
Matt, Great find! Is good to have another STECO Velour. They are hard to find.
I noticed that STECO also used the 3 Tower Coat of Arms (see your Velour and the one below) but they were located in Luckenwalde. Could be related to Brandenburg...
Matt, Super! The "Record" sweatband stamp is impressive. I will have to check and see if any of "Magazin zum Pfau" Stiff Felts that have the famous paper label type. I can't remember off the top of my head. I also need to check into the "Record" and "JEDDO" trademarks.
Update:
My "Magazin...
Matt, Fantastic! The form is fantastic. I can see why your wife really likes it.
We are really building a collection of these Stiff and Soft Felt Hats. I will need to update the list I started back 2022.
Thank you for posting your backlog of Soft and Stiff Felt Hats.
J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota Velour" possibly late 1920s early 1930s. This Velour was made for the Czechoslovakian market. I found this Velour back in 2022.
J. Hückel´s Söhne, Display Cards, 10 cm x 4 cm, possibly mid to later 1920s. Most likely the cards were placed on or near the...
Stefan, Thanks! I like the liner designs too. I wish the latest find's crest was in better condition. The exterior is in great condition. Both appear to have same high quality Wool Felt.
Matt, Thank you! I was surprised I had a Melone from the same unknown Austrian source. There were some large producers in Vienna that only sourced (not branded) Wool and Fur Soft and Stiff Felt Hats and Wool and Fur Felt Stumps / Hoods.
A. Trahy PLZEN PILSEN "Weiner Spezialität", Wool, 58cm possibly later 1920s early 1930s. This Stiff Felt was sourced by A. Trahy PLZEN PILSEN (Bohemia) but I am not sure from what Austrian company (see below). This black Wool Felt has a very nice hand and is very dense.

Stefan, Sorry for the late reply. Thank you! Yes, they are less in number. Super lineup of hats from you this past weekend. I especially like the fantastic series of Velours.. :)
Hückel Weilheim "Extra", 58 cm possibly mid 1950s. The Black Smooth Finish Felt has a very Soft Hand and easily dry creases. The "Extra" goes back to J. Hückel´s Söhne and here is a similar earlier example...
