German & Austrian Hutmachers

[Mario]

Good one, Steve! I love Hans Albers. There is one photo of him in suit and hat, standing on the quay in Hamburg and waving a departing ship good bye. One of my favorite bars has it as a poster...

Thanks again for all those great photos!

Good style on that guy.

Mario, Thanks! Great actor and amazing hat wearer too!

Dan, I think that photo of Hans really shows how a formal dress hat can work with casual attire.

Yes, that's right. It's good to see examples of different kinds of combinations, especially those who bring them off with style, so you can see what you think works and what doesn't. It helps focus what you're aiming for, and guides purchases and selections from the clothes closet.

Mayser

Echter Mayser, stingy / sporty model, size 58cm, no liner. A rough finish heather felt with a neat ribbon / bow. I really like wearing this little one. Probably early to mid 1960s.

The future of the Mayser hats is now secured -
brand protection through outsourcing abroad

Since 2002, the Lindenberg based company Mayser
has been establishing its own company in Roznava,
Slovakia, which, as of April 2011, will be producing
all headpieces of the Mayser brand.
Currently already, Mayser-Roznava is manufacturing
all fabric articles of the brand.
The further modern development of Mayser-Roznava
and the training of its staff prepares the company
for its future tasks with great effort, dedication
and commitment. Throughout this, a quality
management and control system takes centre stage
in addition.

The manufacture at Mayser-Roznava allows to continue
offering hats of traditionally known high quality on
the world market. Established in Lindenberg, a
tradition is thus being pursued that dates back to
the year 1833.

Based on the following criteria, it is our will and
objective to continue providing our customers in all
the world with the famous Mayser quality:

- Solid fashionable designs

- Use of best materials

- Best workmanship

- Perfect services

- High social competence

- Innovations

The following continues to be located at Mayser in Lindenberg:

- The design department (modistes & studio)

- The procurement department

- The marketing & sales and the delivery departments

- The quality control department

The dye-works, raw manufacture and a technical division
in Lindenberg ensure,beyond that, the maintaining and
advancement of the know-how.

We do not only secure jobs in Lindenberg, but commit
ourselves also to quality made in Europe, certainly with
due regard to the applicable social standards.

Nice sport felt and ribbon and size combination.

Thanks for linking that. I was wondering what Mayser would be producing nowadays.

This may be an actual Seal Velour.

Robert, Fantastic! You can really see the slick shine on the rear part of the brim!

Anton Peschel arrived today... these pictures taken just out of the box, before steaming the storage marks from the brim. A very beautiful deep brown velour, lighter than it looks and quite formable. How to wear it... how to wear it...

Alan, what a sharp hat, looks great on you. Any one of those permutations would work. I especially like it with the tweed jacket.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks very much... it has no marks from a previous crease, an open book waiting to be written in!

cheers,
Alan

What a gorgeous hat - and that's the way to go! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I'm glad that at least some lounger have come to recognize the superb quality of German & Austrian hats.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Mario, German hats seem poorly represented on the U.S. auction sites. I was very happy to find this one.

best,
Alan
