Dear Sir,
indeed he has, I published it in post # 77 of this thread: can somebody help me to exactly define a fabric?

it is: Maritime Mützen, Windjammer- und Seglermützen - Hutgroßhandlung Drosten

There was an article about him in 2010 in the Kreiszeitung:

and they seem to make imitation III. Reich caps, too, which is a hoot.

Oh well. The woman makes the comment to the effect that the Zuschnitt of the parts is the crucial aspect, as is in Hempe.

Thank you, Wolfgang, for including all of this. We live and learn. You should have them open a Filiale in your town.

And anoher one: Bullani - Der Mützenmacher aus Bamberg

I'd love to - I'd be their most ardent apprentice!

They are still alive, the Mützenmachermeister:

Some of Bullani's templates:

top row # 1 and # 2 from right to left are most interesting - egg-shaped top panel, interestingly curved side panel. Seems to lead to very elegant Klappmütze/Sattelmütze in "Wehrmachtsschnitt".

Bravo, Wolfgang, vorzueglich!

There seems to be a nice plaque for GAH in Berlin (found it here: https://www.gedenktafeln-in-berlin.d...n/institution/ )



Here a rough translation:

The hat and cap factory G. A. Hoffmann resided in this complex of buildings from 1905 – 1971.

The enterprise was founded in 1871. Albrecht Hoffmann is listed in Berlin adressbooks as the owner. Earlier locations of the firm were 73, Sebastianstraße (1885), 15, Ritterstraße (cap, loden and cloth-hat factory) and 14, Sebastianstraße (1890/1900). On the internet it is only military caps made by the company which turn up amongst collectors.

The acrylic glass plaque with golden background is situated on the right of the doorway.

I just came from Berlin, and there are many plaques, but I wonder if the people looking at these items really have any idea of what they see before them?

Sorry the image is akimbo, but I am helpless against the marauding of software....
