habigman Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 From "Mayser's Hutfabrik Ulm a. Donau" (1925) "A significant expansion of the commercial foundations of Mayser Ulm arose when in 1921 the G.M.B.H. shares the hat factory J. A. Seidl, Munich went over and its owner, Mr. Seidl who had already 1908 taken at the factory Mayser interest was entrusted now with the dispositional overall management of the factory, whereby the meritorious participation of Mr Seidl the Mayser Works Ulm was saved.

habigman Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hutfabrik J. A. Seidl München probably early 1900s. This Melone is made of Wool which was common for pre WWII German and Austrian Stiff Felt hats. Top price point Pre WWII German and Austrian Wool Stiff and Soft Felt hats were of a high quality. The quality of this hat is excellent and it's in super condition (sweatband size tag still present). The Paper Label is missing but you can see where it might was once have been located on the rear of the sweatband.

habigman Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hut-Seidl München "Garant" made by Mayser Ulm, 60cm probably mid 1950s. Very high quality felt that easily dry creases. Also I really like the ribbon width and hat form. Hut-Seidl München had a strong historical connection with Mayser Ulm. Open Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 J. A. Seidl München, 59 cm, date stamped July 26, 1932. This hat belongs to Paddy on the FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habigman Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 " Colonia", 54 cm possibly early 1930s. Made of Wool with Back Bow, moderate Brim curl with Binding. The Sweatband type and Paper Label type point to Hutfabrik J. A. Seidl München. Not sure of Hutfabrik J. A. Seidl München production at this time and doesn't look like Mayser Ulm so could be sourced. This hat belongs to Panos from the FL. Photos by Matt from the FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
