Key Features:
1. Shape and Material:
• The hat is typically made from felt, wool, or a similar sturdy material.
• It has a structured crown and a narrow brim, often with a gentle upward curl.
2. Decorative Cord (Hatband):
• The green cord wrapped around the crown is a traditional decorative feature. It’s often made from braided wool or similar material.
3. Brush or Tuft (Gamsbart):
• The large dark tuft attached to the side is called a Gamsbart. It’s traditionally made from the hair of a chamois (a goat-antelope species) or similar animal.
• The Gamsbart is a symbol of hunting culture and masculinity in Alpine traditions, particularly in regions like Bavaria (Germany), Tyrol (Austria), and parts of Switzerland.
4. Metal Pin or Brooch:
• The small metallic pin typically features hunting-related symbols (like deer, rifles, or antlers), which reinforce the hat’s connection to hunting and Alpine culture.
Cultural Significance:
• This type of hat is associated with traditional folk dress (Trachten) worn in Alpine regions.
Size:
Many brands abbreviate and only show the whole number “7” before the metric size, even though the actual U.S. size is closer to 7 5/8. They rely on the centimeter number to be exact.
📏 61 cm converts to:
• - 24 inches
• US 7 5/8
US 7 5/8 (EU 61 cm)
That’s a Large to XL size.
Tagged 7 / 61 – Fits US 7 5/8 (61 cm / 24” circumference)
For a German-made hat, the 61 cm is the true size.
📏 What that means:
• 61 cm head circumference
• About 24 inches
• Equivalent to US 7 5/8
The “7” is often just a simplified U.S. reference number for export markets, but the 61 cm is the accurate European measurement.
