Der echt Josef Pichler Hut Graz, nur Mugasse 10, Josef Pichler & Söhne, Telefon Nr: 1167 Fabrik 8056 Niederlage, Double Sided Paper Bag, 49 cm X 31 cm, possibly early 1950s. I was able to determine the possible time period from the telephone numbers which was a interesting side trip.

Wegener "Extra", 58 cm, probably early 1950s. The Felt has a great finish and easily dry creases. The paper label is missing but there was 1953 newspaper spacer behind the Sweatband. The Liner has piping which I haven't seen on a Wegener. The Wegener stamp on the Sweatband is also unique.

Organ of the Central Association of Austrian Architects and the New Austrian Work Federation, 2nd year, May 1934. Österreichische Nationalbibliothek The Austrian Exhibition' in London, 1934. P. & C. Habig Wien was part of the exhibition. There is a photo of their booth in the Vienna Shopping Street room. The Austrian Exhibition' in London At the top of our second photo report on the Austrian exhibition in London we place the portrait of Se. Excellency Baron Frankenstein, the Austrian envoy to the Royal Hofe, who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this important undertaking. Fig. 350 Viktor Hammer, portrait of Se. Excellency, of the Austrian Ambassador to London, Baron Dr. Frankenstein Above: Edwin Grienauer, Design for the New Austrian National Coat of Arms Shopping Street, Draft: C. Kosak, Execution of the Painting: F. Zülow and M. Frey After we already reported in the 4th issue of our magazine about the equipment of the advertising spaces for tourism, this time we are showing pictures of some exhibition halls, which specially equipped for special tasks. Some of them are kept very simple and are only effective through the generous distribution of colors. Fig. 352 Booth of the Hat Factory P. & C. Habig at the Austrian Exhibition in London The furnishing of all the booths in the shopping street were designed by E. Wörle. It would be a pointless beginning to give an overview of the works of art on display in addition to everything else on the few pages available to us, or even to want to highlight the so-called "most representative" works with three or four illustrations. We shall report on the arts and crafts another time and have fundamental things to say. When the Austrian architects arrived in London, Docland Hall, the Exhibition Grounds, was a mess of boards, scrap and semi-finished floors. Despite the difficulties, it was possible to complete the exhibition in 14 days with all energy exerted.

Seidels Reklame, "Habig Wien / Vienna, Das historische Fenster der Hutfirma / The Historical Window of the Hat Company P.& C. Habig", Issue 3 1925. Österreichische Nationalbibliothek "Once the Habig Collection" A real shop window, as it used to be, showed the Habig Hat Factory. The most elegant and distinguished hats from Top Hats to Tricorn Hats decorated with ostrich feathers were on display here. The background mockup looked particularly striking. Through a window you could see passers-by in the streets, the gentlemen with infinitely high hats, the ladies with “elegant”, tightly worked lap waists standing wonderingly in front of the displays. Two small, colorful moderator lamps, which were used at the time to illuminate the shop windows, competed in their modest way with the electric light. The motifs for the shop window design of the Max Kühl company were taken from the workshop.

DIE BÜHNE (Wien), "Kleider machen Leute, der Hut — den Herrn", Von KommerziaIrat Richard Schwarz / THE STAGE (Vienna), " Clothes Make the Man, The Hat— The Gentleman", By Commercial Counselor Richard Schwarz, Issue 232 1929. Österreichische Nationalbibliothek What use is the most beautiful suit, if hat, tie and shoe are not in harmony with it or even shabby! Unfortunately, it is still not clear to every gentleman (or, say, every Austrian) that he can give his appearance only through the correctly chosen tie, the correctly chosen hat that harmony, which appears elegant and distinguished. The Englishman and the American have recognized this for a long time and this year they turn their wisdom all the more eagerly as the fashion is particularly colorful. What is modern? What’s gonna be modern? The lightweight velour hat, which is a specifically Austrian product. It is already heavily bought by England, France and America. One hand washes the other: in return for this comes the Panama, which was already worn strongly last season in England and America. Ecuador is already rubbing its hands with pleasure. As far as the shapes are concerned, the "Snapper" is no longer bent slightly at the front, but rather strongly. On the other hand, for elegant wearing it is not bent at all and lets it, in its calm form, imitate the "Homburg" a rimmed hat . This elegant hat still reigns supreme, especially in bright colors. For those gentlemen who love their comfort and sigh heavily under the torments of the proper suit during the heat of summer, I also have a joyful message: The American fashion of jacketless is also becoming a fixture in Western countries in Europe, and is likely to permeate our territory as well. In the summer you will wear the silk shirt with the beautiful, cheerful tie and no jacket - with a light, elegant hat, which will be either a "Snapper" or a Panama. So also with this half negligent dress it will be the hat, which gives the outfit and the whole appearance of the gentleman the elegant touch. Side Note: I usually avoid fashion related articles but I found this one interesting because it mentions a Light Weight Austrian Velour Hat and a the Jacketless trend / movement circa 1929. The bottom right photo is of a man wearing a slightly snapped (normally worn without snap) Lightweight Velour with tie but without jacket.

CELLOGRAF MILANO It was founded in the twenties of the twentieth century with the name Società Industrie Grafiche Cellograf , in Milan [1], from Natale Sciascia, with the aim of making prints on celluloid. Its production soon extended to advertising objects commissioned by various companies for display (advertising plates enriched with tear-off calendars or thermometers) at shops and administration points. There are countless companies for which Cellograf has prepared advertising plates, now almost all extinct (the Gamberini Biscuit factory, Subsequently, the production also extended to exhibitors and retail objects for free or for sale (stickers, playing cards). progressively during the eighties, until it ceased completely at the end of the decade, when the attention had shifted to the magnetic and telephone cards sector. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellograf-Simp#cite_ref-1

G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. Metal Display Plate, 9 cm X 3.5 cm, possibly 1920s.

Ludwig Skriwanek Graz, Hutfabrikation, measures 58.5 cm, possibly 1930s. The Black Fur Felt has a nice Smooth Finish. It has a lower profile which is pleasing. Appears that the Sweatband was stitched back in at a later time. I wasn't able to find any information on Ludwig Skriwanek Graz, Hutfabrikation production capabilities. I tend to think they sourced the entire Stiff Felt. I was told by the Seller that this Stiff Felt belonged to her great uncle who was the owner of the first bandage company in Germany, F. & C. Achenbach Frankfurt am Main (founded 1882) but the company didn't survive WWII. Natural Light

P. & C. Habig Wien "Velour", 56 cm possible mid 1930s. This rare find was made by Wayne on the FL.

"J. Heinrich Ita Wien" "K. u. K. Hof - Hutfabrikant Wien", Reverse Painted Display, Beveled Glass, Brass Frame, Zinc Back Plate, Foldout Wire Stand, 20 cm x 6.5 cm, Very Early 1900s. Rare to come across items of this quality.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Elastic", 57.5 cm, 118 grams. possibly mid 1920s to early 1930s. This is a Ladies Stiff Felt Riding Hat but since it's a JHS + very unique I decided to pick it up. It appears to be entirely original and in NOS condition. The Black smooth finished Felt is the same as a Men's JHS "Elastic" Stiff Felt. The 4.5 cm Brim is not curled and has downward flange with a thin Binding. The Grosgrain Sweatband with padded which is stitched in with a X pattern. The Bow is on the left side like Men's Hats. There is also has a long fabric Strap which you see on some Ladies Hats. I couldn't find a paper label so maybe this was custom made by JHS. Definitely a very unique piece for my museum.

Anton Peschel Dinkelsbühl "Windsor - Hut", 58 cm possibly late 1950s early 1960s. The Gray Felt has a nice Chamois finish. Also like the thin ribbon bow design with contrasting brim binding. This Hat came a from a Czech source.
