Thanks, Steve. For some reason these things keep popping up now and again in France. I'm not complaining.

"Collins Wien" started out as "Hutfabrik / Hat Factory J. Kollin" in 1949. Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1949.
In 1952 it became known as "Hutfabrik Kollin". Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1952.
In 1954 the factory changed locations. Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1954.
In 1956 the "Collins" hat store opened. The "Hutfabrik Kollin" is also listed. Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1956.
The factory still has a separate listing. Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1956.
In 1968 the the "Collins Salzburg" store opened. There is still a seperate listing for "Hutfabrik Kollin". Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1968.
In 1977 "Collins" changes to "Collins Hüte" and "Hutfabrik Kollin" changes to "Hutfabrik Walter Kollin". Wien Amtliches Telephonbuch 1977.
The status remains the same up to 1979. I will include the 1980s when I have that information.

@mayserwegener , I just got this one in new to me. Is it possible that this could be one of the 1960's era "Hilton" Hats made by Mayser, referenced (but not pictured) above?Mayser Trademarks (1950s and later)
Mayser made hats under the Parker 713 Broadway New York brand name starting in 1960 (image from 1966). They also tradmarked the Hilton brand name in 1962 but no image is available.
Some straw and felt related trademarks from late 50s and early 60s.

Hello Jeff, Super find! Highly possible it could have been made by Mayser. The paper label descriptions are similar. Can you please provide a photo of the entire paper label? It's later so I would have to check some of my later Mayser Soft Felt Hats.

Jeff, I checked and your Soft Felt Hat was definitely made by Mayser. Here is an earlier (possibly early 1960s) Homburg Hat and it has a very similar paper label .

R. & M. Wegener, "Seta", possibly early 1960s. This is one of a 3 Soft Felt find that came from the "Josef Faller Paderborn" Hat Store. The Fur Felt is a Mélange with a Rauh Finish. The Mélange Felt is of medium Weight and is easily Dry Creases. The Paper Label is missing and most likely fell out. This is the first R. & M. Wegener "Seta" I have encountered. An interesting Band material and is Pug like.
Dupont Quilon was used on leather so this for the Sweatband.
Typical R. & M. Wegener Size label.
