Stetson Excellent homburg in black in a style called "courier" on the label. Made under license in Germany, so manufactured by Mayser. Size 57 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 11 cm. This is Mayser manufacturing at its finest and they apparently really wanted to make this licensing work. This hat is dated 23rd of march 1957, so in the early years of the license. An observation here is that in Germany the "Imperial" designation wasn't used as opposed to the English license where it was common. Maybe the association with the past made and the Austro Hungarian Empire and their own exiled Kaiser made them opt for another name.

Because you needed a black Homburg. Does that make 20?

Another excellent hat. I'd be happy to store it for you, Stefan, being my size as it is.
