Austria 2018 Styrian Hat Stamp
Issue date 22 September 2018
Austria Post has issued another embroidered stamp featuring the Styrian Hat which was a popular item in the clothing in the 19th century Styria. The hat was usually manufactured from dark grey or dark green woollen felt or animal hair; the hat band is also usually dark green and is decorated with a “Gamsbart” (made from the greyish black hair from the neck of a chamois buck) or feathers.
The hat stamp, in the special “Styrian green”, is made of exclusive merino sheep’s wool thread produced by the company Schoeller from Hard in Vorarlberg. This “Shaminah” merino wool thread impresses with its 14.5 micron wool fibre, the finest and highest grade of wool fibre that exists. The sheep’s wool used for this comes from a number of Australian farms which have been awarded “Bluesign” certification for their sustainable textile production. The gamsbart decoration is made of two twisted black and grey threads. The hat is affixed to an ecru background with guipure lace perforations.
