Ludwig Skriwanek Graz, Hutfabrikation, no paper label, measures 58 cm, Wool or Wool - Fur,  possibly early to 1930s.  I had no idea from the photos that the felt was a melange of colors.  Also that it had an intact wind cord.  I do not have any information on the production capabilities of Ludwig Skriwanek Graz Hutfabrikation.  Anton and Josef Pichler were the famous Graz Hat companies but I was very happy to find this less known company.  I have to say this Stiff Felt is already one of my favorites.

This is indeed a wonderful piece of headgear.

Interestingly enough Skriwanek seems to have been taken over by W. &. Kahr somewhere between 1938  and 1943. And they were listed under "Hutmacher" - hatmakers, not under "Hutfabrik" (like Pichler) = hat factory, so Gewerbe, not Industrie.

Wolfgang,  Thank you for this valuable information!  Is this info from Graz city directories?  There isn't a paper label behind the sweatband.  I guess it's possible they made the hat but it could have easily been sourced.  The building locations look more retail oriented but I guess they could have had a small production facility.   Is there any information on W. & M. Kahr?

Hello Steve,

yes, I took the info from the Graz Adressbücher. What is interesting is that the paid ads (see above) state "Huterzeugung" (at Schmiedgasse 14) so it seems they really made hats, the entry in the telephone directory says: Handel ("retail of hats, caps, millinery, slippers and felt shoes") and this retail seems to have taken place at the other addresses.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on Kahr - the only available address books are for 1938 and 1943. Could this have been a case of aryanisation? As it was a OHG (Ordinary/General partnership) there should be info available in the Firmenbuch.

Very interesting. Aryanisation makes sense.  Is Skriwanek Czech?  

I found this up to 1977.  steirische Plasticwarenfabrik, Ludwig Skriwanek, Inh. Erika u. Walter Berger, Graz 1439

I found this later hat so it survived in some form post WWII.

Yes, could indeed be Czech! The owner of the Kepka firm in Graz I sent you the link of via PM is a certain Karin Krahl-Wichmann - perhaps there is a connection there, who knows. Seems as if you'd have to visit Graz again.

Nice Austro-Hungarian officer's cap - I can't see the center of the cockade, but I suppose it says FJ I - Franz Josef I.

As the ad indicates they also sold "Kappen" = caps.

Thanks.  I might contact this collector since he is located in Graz.  It's possible he might know about the history of the company.

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.

Here you can see more of Skriwanek-hats. But I think, you cannot order any of these hats now.

Bert,  Sorry for my late reply.  Some how I missed your fantastic post.  What year is this from 1920s ?

[habigman]

Wilhelm Pless Wien "Extra Qualität", 57 cm, possibly late 1920s early 1930s.  This a really beautiful Stiff Felt and in near mint condition.  This is my first Wilhelm Pless Wien so a rare find.  The only other WPW is a Silk Top Hat found by Robert (RLK).  It's possible the Felt is Beaver because it's very dense but could be a blend.  The liner is really fantastic.  The color (not sure what to call it plus color changes) and company mark are striking.  The contrasting sweatband with gold embossed company mark are great  too.

I noticed that Wilhelm Pless Wien along with J. Hückel´s Söhne was a superior Brand for Ludwig Skriwanek Graz.  See  Nr. 302, Der Moderne Steifhut / The Modern Stiff Hat,  Feinest Hasenhaar Marke "Pless" / Finest Hare Hair Brand "Pless"  S 36.__ , Skriwanek - Hüte catalog (1920s).  The above Stiff Felt is probably Beaver Hair so more expensive S 39.__ **.

** ~ $5.50 in 1928 7.1 Austrian Schillings ~ 1 USD

Hello everybody. I found this wonderful Borsalino Aureola.  Spezialanfertigung für Huthaus Skriwanek. I would love to get your opinion on it. Greetings from Germany 

[habigman]

Hello Mathias,

Sorry for the late reply.  Some how I missed your post!   Fantastic find!  I really like the Felt color and finish.  Your hat was made in 1976 based on the paper label.  The quality is high because the original family still owned Borsalino and the hat was made in the old factory.  

[ErWeSa]

Very nice hat Matthias!

So around 1975 Skriwanek was still in existence. I don't know how to find out when they went out of business, there must be old telephone directories one could look up. Unfortunately I can't ask my aunt any longer - she lived in Graz/Annenstraße and died in 2016 at the age of 90.
