habigman Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Collins This is a very nice modern production hat made from a P. & C. Habig block for Hut Neubarth, Augsburg. Collins aquired some of P. & C. Habig's blocks when they went out of business back in the late 1980s. Supposedly Collins hat maker retired (ex P. & C. Habig Wien). The beautiful custom vintage ribbon/double loop bow work is from my friend Herbert Jennissen at Hut Neubarth, Augsburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Collins Wien "Prima Smoking Hat", 58 cm, possibly late 1950s. The black Felt has a nice Smooth Finish and is pliable so easily dry creases. The under Brim is reinforced with binding material so a formal Camber form worn Brim Up. The overall quality is high and the condition is excellent. Definitely a unique find. Open Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
