Interesting, there is also a privately owned hotel chain in Vienna called Schick Hotels. Not sure if there's any relation. I have come across a couple of Hut Schick hats on the Austrian market, but haven't bought them as they were in bad condition. Here is a picture of their shop in the Alserbachstrasse 12, taken around 1935. on the shop it says Hutmacher, so I assume they did make hats, not just sell them:

And an advertising photo featuring the actor Otto Wilhelm Fischer ca 1955:

Both images courtesy of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, here are the source links:

It is indeed a surname, the firm was founded by Wilhelm Schick, who died in 1934, aged 77. Here's his obituary notice:

More genealogical information about Wilhelm Schick can be found here: https://www.geni.com/people/Wilhelm-Schick/6000000017674124363

 

Schick is also german for chic, so the name of the firm had a double meaning.

 

I also found a few more things related to the firm:

 

One of their cards with the receipt for hat repair work on the back:

My Notes:  The catalog comes from the estate of the former prima ballerina at the Vienna State Opera, Julia Drapal.  The catalog is probably from the mid 1950s.  In 1955 1 United States Dollar =  26 Austrian Schillings.
