What you’ll find

What Held Hutmanufaktur is known for

Held has shaped felt hats in Innsbruck since the late 1800s and describes itself as the only hat manufacturer in Tyrol, run by the fourth generation of the founding family. Some of its wooden hat blocks are more than 120 years old, and its archive of over 2,000 historic forms still supplies traditional-costume groups across the Alps.
