Founded in Cologne in 1913 and since then the market leader in fashionable, designer headwear. With our own factories for top quality products made in Germany, we are always on the lookout for international innovations and new brands.

Our Stanton and Mistral brands, the world famous Stetson brand mean we have something for every style and taste. And for those who prefer the British look, we can offer James Lock of London.

We have our own distribution network of highly trained hatters all over Europe.

The key to our success: Most of our fashionable collections are available on stock in Cologne and so can be delivered at any time. And because we have our own factories, we can react instantly to the latest trends. Our expertise in the manufacture of top quality hats has been used successfully by a number of suppliers in the sportswear and clothing industry.

FWS has what it takes. Maybe not everything all the time, but always up to the minute!
