Can anyone figure out the hand written words? This is a paper label from an old German made hat.

The handwritten words are after "Qualität / Quality" and "Farbe / Color". The company that made this hat (Wegener) like to use names of towns or places for their colors.

    Was konntest Du denn selbst bislang entziffern? Hast Du eine Tabelle gefunden, in der Schreibschriftsütterlinbuchstaben aufgelistet sind, und konntest Du einige der unklaren Buchstaben eingrenzen?

    So oft wie wir Sütterlinanfragen in der Vergangenheit hatten und es jedes mal beantwortet wurde bin ich mir nicht sicher, in wiefern das offtopic ist.

    Is this the manufacturer: wegener.org/ueber-wegener.html ? If yes, you might be successful asking them. "Lunze" als Qualität scheint falsch/ kein echter Begriff zu sein.

    It does not look like Sütterlin. For example the "e" is definitely not.

I believe there is no definite answer because it could be specialist jargon of textile industry from former times or even the individual jargon of the manufactory.

Qualität: Could be "Lunze", perhaps also "Lanze". The latter could be a variant of "Lancé", see http://www.stofflexikon.com/lance/662/lance.html.

    Doesn't sound plausible.
