P. & C. Habig Wien. The paper label has a date stamp of 1932. The hat is in new condition and came with the original holder and case.

Same shop as the hat so must be original. Notice the felt protector.

The boater is one of the most beautiful straw weaves I've seen. Just wonderful.

Janyška "The BilCal Hat", size 56cm, probably 1930s. This hat is from the Czech find. What is interesting is BilCal is Bill & Caldwell who were one of the early 20th Century American importers (there weren't many) of foreign hats (including Borsalino).

Bill & Caldwell "Importers of Stiff, Soft and Straw Hats" (from an Borsalino advertisement in The American Hatter March, 1922)
