habigman Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Sandmann Wien XV, measures 58cm, Crown 6 inches, Brim Curled 2 inches maybe 1930s. I believe it's a multi color Wool or a Wool - Fur blend. The felt is really fantastic (colors, finish, hand) most likely a Flamand. It doesn't have any paper label and I believe it had a crown patch at one time. Heinrich Sandmann was Chairman of the Austrian and Vienna Hat Makers associations (as of 1926) but I haven't been able to find any other details. This hat is part one of a two Sandmann Wien XV find. I was contacted by the seller (from Vienna who I have purchased a number of hats from in the past) during by trip so I was able to pick up the hats along the way.

habigman Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Sandmann Wien XV, Wool, measures 58cm, Crown 6 inches, Brim Curled 2 inches maybe 1930s. The Wool Felts finish is coarse and reminds of some of the Austrian and German Wool Stiff Felts I have that are from the same time period and earlier. The felt has a stiffness to it but still easily dry creases. Also uniquer long bow length is interesting. I really like finding olde Wool Soft Felt hats like this one and the other Sandmann Wien XV.
