habigman Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Koch Velour, probably early 1950s but could be older. This is the first Koch Velour I have encountered. This one belongs to Paddy on the FL. Appears to be a really nice Velour and great looking form! Hopefully I can find out more about the company. Some additional photos.

habigman Posted November 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Miesbacher Velourhutfabrik, Otto Koch, Koch Velour "Extra", 58 cm possible late 1950s. I was interested in this hat because I don't have an example of Miesbacher Velourhutfabrik, Otto Koch, Koch Velour. I am not sure if Miesbacher Velourhutfabrik is related to Ernst Kohlndorfer Miesbach / Oberbayren Velour Hutfabrik so I will have to do some research. The closed cropped Velour is of excellent quality (color, finish, hand) and is in very good condition. This is a typical Miesbacher Trachten style and the overall quality is superb.

Juergen Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello Habigman, I am sitting here with a very old and good friend who also tries to find out about this company. He worked there once being about 20 years old. When he visited Miesbach some weeks ago he met the "Heimatpfleger" of Miesbach and this guy was very interested in the personell experience of my friend. Checking the internet we found thes remarks/questions/pictures and he was very exited... Have you find out more about this fabrication facility and the son of Otto who died in february 1969. the son with the same name disappeared and is not to be found! I will be glad to foreward your short message to him if you reply to our question! Best regards Jürgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned above I am not sure if Miesbacher Velourhutfabrik is related to Ernst Kohlndorfer Miesbach / Oberbayren Velour Hutfabrik. Unfortunately I haven't done any follow up research since making that post. I would be willing to look into this further so maybe we can work together. -Steve Heck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
