Thanks Mike, The manufacturer's tags (it has 2) are the style from the 40s and 50s but the text is in Spanish. I've been trying to find info about Stetson licensed hats in Spanish language countries but so far no luck other than a mention that they did have a licensee in Mexico beginning around the 30s. Any additional info would be much appreciated. It does have really fine felt, except for the worn spot at the pinch.

Fine hat Mike, even if it's not a "real" StratEarly to mid 1950s Knox Premier Stratoliner clone. Since it is not a "real" Strat, it sports a vintage Lockheed Constellation hat pin.
Have you seen my charcoal Gannon? I really like it a lot
Stefan, Thanks! I posted some photos of the "Ventilo" system in my reply to Mike. P. & C. Habig did use it often in the 1950s but definitely labor intensive.
I wish I could find out more about it. Here is the Austrian trademark? number.
Looks as good, if not better.Early to mid 1950s Knox Premier Stratoliner clone. Since it is not a "real" Strat, it sports a vintage Lockheed Constellation hat pin.
Thank you.

Really spiffy looking suit Michael. Nice tweed.Thanks Red. It's an Amana Woolen Mills jacket that was made about 15 miles down the road during the '60s or '70s.
Thanks Scotty. It's from my last small set of local hat buys last autumn or early winter. I kept the same hat, but tried some different clothes this afternoon.

I wanted to see what sort of adjustments this tweed 3 piece might need.
Thanks all,
Michael

The jury is still out. I am in the queue with NW Hats for a full on, in your face Whippet-esque fedora. Right now, I'm looking at a dark gray with burgundy ribbon and binding, 2 3/4" brim and mile high crown.
Good on ya Jay. Have fun!Nothing like front row at an NBA game in a Mallory.

Just an organic grab and go with this felt. I've done a little steam on the snap only.
Thanks, Mike. Don't see many of these around on auction sites, but it's an idea. I do have an ushanka that may get some wear with the coat if the temperature drops some more this week.
Thank you, Matt!
Well, you can always use it for moonlighting as an onion JohnnyThanks, I think the beret may indeed only work better when combined with a good cheese and a baguette [emoji6]
Gorgeous hat and great colour!Thanks, Red - I think it was about 4 years ago that the Biltmore plant in Canada was closed, production was moved to somewhere in Texas if I remember correctly. There was a hat store online that sold a lot of the last hats with super deals at the time.
This morning was dark and rainy (yet again) and I wore my Black Cherry from John Penman to run some errands and vote in the primary. Gotta love the Texas early voting.
