habigman 0 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 P. & C. Habig Wien, 60cm probably 1980s early 1990s. Could have been made by Mayser after they got the brand rights. This one was sent to me by mistake by a seller. Very nice felt for a later hat so I decided to keep it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habigman 0 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I found some interesting information. Turns out that the Hückel family married into the Habig family and vice versa. Marriage of Karl Habig (son of Karl Habig) to Berta Hückel (daughter of Johann Hückel) in 1902. This 1917 death notice for Johann Hückel has their names listed. There is also Frieda Hückel Habig wife of Karl Habig and mother of Karl Habig II. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habigman 0 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 P. & C. Habig Wien, 58cm probably 1969. This one belongs to John / Moehawk on the FL. His comments:"The crown is 5" open, the brim 2". The felt is substantial, at 145g total weight, but dense not thick. Finish is very nice. Condition is amazing, the only negative was a slightly dry sweatband that a bit of Lexol took care of. Overall quality is everything I had hoped for, meaning excellent.The seller thought it was 50's, mayserwegener thought maybe a bit later. I will guess late 60's, wondering if the number 69 at the bottom of the paper tag is the year of production. I have a pretty good idea that if I'm wrong there is someone here that can give me a better number!I might call this one The Blue 'Burg of Happiness." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habigman 0 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 P. & C. Habig Wien "Special Qualität" - Made Expressly for Eduard Pelger The Hague, missing paper label,measures 56cm, possibly early 1950s maybe earlier. This great hat belongs to Stefan (seur) on the FL and here are his comments. "P&C Habig homburg in brown. This one was part of a set of three with another Habig homburg in black (didn't buy that one) and the GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro homburg (posted earlier). According to the vendor part of the same auction. Makes sense. The black one was from 1952 and the GB Borsalino is from 1935. My guess is that this one is in between (it's lost its label); forties to early fifties. Size 56, brim at 6cm and crown 10cm at the pinch. Unlined with a cloth crown patch. This is the "before" shoot. Most of the stains on the ribbon came out. Made expressly for Eduard Pelger, The Hague, which is still in business today. Fits me like a custom."

habigman 0 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität" Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a, 58cm possibly early 1930s. This hat was made specially for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII. Everything (felt, sweatband, liner, ribbon, workmanship) about this hat is of the highest quality and in excellent condition. The sweatband is very similar to some P. & C. Habig Wien Silk Top Hats of the same time period. The medium weight black felt has a very soft hand and easily dry creases. It also came with the original P. & C. Habig "Hutmacher" Wien Hat Box. Open Crown Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habigman 0 Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 P. & C. Habig Wien "Grand Prix Paris", 57 cm, 110 grams, late 1890s - 1900. The Felt is very thin and light weight with a great smooth finish. The black liner with gold embossing is striking. The textured sweatband is also very light weight with the "Patent Ventilator" holes. There was a newspaper (from September 4, 1903) spacer behind the rear of the sweatband. I am thinking this was able made for the Paris 1900 World Exposition or was made the year after P. & C. Habig Wien winning the "Grand Prix" at the Paris 1900 World Exposition. I was told by the seller that this Melone belonged to a banker from Greiz which is just south of Graz where the Melone was sold (Carl Singewald). This is one of my best Stiff Felt finds. Patent Ventilator Paper Label with Handwritten Entries, Stitched in Liner Newspaper Spacer, Berliner Börsen-Zeitung, Friday, the 4th. September 1903. (The seller told me that the Melone belonged to a Banker in Greiz, Germany so that explains the use of the Berliner Börsen-Zeitung Financial Newspaper as a spacer.) P. & C. Habig Wien - Berlin Catalog, possibly mid 1890s to early 1900s. Similar Stiff Felt Forms, Also P. & C. Habig Wien Crest with "Patent Ventilator" Natural Light (Very Similar Hat to No. 16 above) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
