What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Randy, It depends on the style. You can snap the brim with this one but my feeling it was worn brim up. I have some JHS Soft Felts with taller crowns but I think the sporty JHS Snap Brims were popular. I will wear some of the taller crown JHS Soft Felts in the coming weeks.- mayserwegener

It has Trachten elements and is more sporty. That is why it's under the Rehfus Cie. "Oberländer" label.- mayserwegener

Sorry I missed this one! Great find! Yes, most likely from Guben. There are many Wool Stiff and Soft Felt Hats with that similar paper label. I started to put together a list of them but need to to update it.- mayserwegener

Personally I wouldn't use hairspray. You can try wetting the brim felt (make sure it's saturated) with distilled water but make sure to turnout the sweatband so it doesn't get wet. You can form the brim by hand (or with a brim flange) + brush the Velour with a firmer bristled brush and let it...- mayserwegener

I also think it's later 1930s early 1940s. If it is indeed made of Wool and not mostly Hare fur than it's technically not Echter / Real Velour. I actually like hats like this. :) There was definitely Wool Velour because I have seen listings for it in pre WWII German Hatmaker News (which didn't...- mayserwegener

Rehfus & Cie. "Zephyr" "Extra Extra Qualität". I believe this Stiff Felt is post WWII but made from old stock. The Rehfus & Cie factory was heavily damaged in WWII and didn't go back into production until 1951. It's in NOS condition. I found this Stiff Felt back in 2019. It...- mayserwegener
