It appears they were a English distributor out of Paris. My guess is they sourced from different European hat companies. Will be interesting to see if it has a paper label.

I got this for an upcoming "Taj-'Mo" show at The Ryman.
G'wine see if I can get both of the guys to sign the underbrim.
I already have Keb Mo's signature on an OR clone from a prior show.
----------> CHUFFED!<----------

We're gonna expect a full report, Rick! I hope to catch that show when they hit my 'burg later this year.

Unsure of age as I am not too versed in foreign hats, but looks to be in decent shape.

Fantastic looking hat. As far as I know the English manufacturers usually did not make velour hats themselves. Hatbodies were mostly imported from Austria or Germany. The style was not very popular in England it seems. Nice find (again).

Interesting for sure. Once it arrives ill try my hand at dating it, I assume it is older from the sweat stitching and taped seam
