J&B was the French producer of this hat in black velour. The hatter, was, based on my experience, the best in France in those years

The proportions are as follows: raw brim to 6,5 cm. open crown at 13 and the ribbon is 5 cm.

I haven’t the experince of Steve about velour, neither I can’t decipher who made it, but this is fantastic. Soft and pliable, very dense and rich

The inside is without patch or lining, there was somenthing I’m sure, but not today.
Under the sweatband there are two paper labels: the above and the size tag 4 1/2 or 56 cm.
The golden and embossed stamps on the sweatband are there:

The shop where it was sold

It was used, but for the its age in a perfect shape, no moths, no flaws.
