The Collection Habsburg for men features the highest quality and wearing comfort.

By grinding the hair-felt in velour quality we are able to achieve an especially smooth surface. Due to this special process our Habsburg hats have a very high wearing comfort and brilliant colours. The Collection Habsburg hat always comes with the emblem of Habsburg as sticker or stitchery. Additionally the hat's brim is framed. For the elaborate garnishes we use exclusive materials of high quality.

The Manufacture
In our manufacture in Werfen we currently have twelve employees. They produce Zapf hats in fifteen individual production steps.

As raw material we use hair- and wool-felt from Europe. The high quality is the result of traditional Austrian craftsmanship. In contrast to the industrial production (compression of the felt) our hats are pulled manually over a wooden shape. All subsequent working steps are done by our employee’s hands with a passion for detail. The individual design of the different models is very important to us.

The retail shop
Our retail shop in Werfen is opened the whole year and offers a wide range of hats and accessories for women and men.

The collection for women includes hats from the collections Zapf Classic and Collection Habsburg. In addition, we offer fashionable hats from international producers. Depending on the season of the year we have different accessories like scarves, gloves and handbags.

Besides to our hunting hats from the collection Zapf hunting, we provide classic models from the product line Zapf Classic and Collection Habsburg for men. Also men find scarves and gloves of high quality in our shop.

In our view a competent consulting service is very important if you consider purchasing a hat. Therefore we are looking forward to your visit in Werfen.
