Nice find. They don't come around that often. These Stratoliners in black seem to have been somewhat of a German speciality. Mine made its way to Mexico.

Mexico? Is it on vacation? What else could possibly bring it over there?

Just curious; is there a production date printed on the inside of the sweat?
These German Stetsons (from Mayser) often have that; atleast on several of mine.

Post office tried to deliver my new Panama yesterday, but I wasn't home to sign for it. I'll be picking it up this afternoon.
The anticipation now that it is local is way higher than any point leading up til now.

There is, but the year is hard to read. My tiny brain wants to see 1958 or 1959 in that smudge... but I think that’s more guessing than seeing.

Could be correct. I believe Mayser starting producing Stetsons under license around the mid 1950's.
@mayserwegener knows it exactly.

Was this a readymade hat? They sell fast in my size.

You will like the color combination. This will give you an idea in different lighting conditions.

No, this is a custom order in my size, 7 1/4 long oval. I went for this identical color and style, and chose “antique” color sweatband with white lining. Other choices available. He has a few listed in the already made section, but mostly seems a custom hat business.

Yours is sure a handsome hat. I really like how Gannon makes his hats.

It looks camel in that pic, but it's natural. Hand dyed 2" ribbon. I picked the one on the right.
Click on the picture to enlarge... and see if the brim treatment gives any clues.
