Stefan, Thank you! Yes the felt is thick with a rough finish. It might be a more extreme weather hat. The felt is still pliable enough to dry crease. I would have to ask Horst but my guess is some of these hats were lying around from the past or people gave them to him when he opened the museum. He has some really interesting stuff in the museum including many old felt hat bodies. The museum is a working hat shop which includes Velour related tools / machines so definitively worth checking out if in the area.Good looking hat, Steve, but fairly thick looking felt. Any insights on what made herr Brömme select the hats he has kept?
