Cool find, Max. I found a similar one recently (but did not buy). If I recall correctly Steve mentioned they were made by Tonak specifically for export to the south (and middle) American market.
It is refreshing for someone (had to be a European) to mean the whole continent when he says "American".
Geographically, as you know, Mexico is in North America.

Here's my posting of the hat. I misremembered actually: the one I found was for the Spanish market, not the...ahem...American market.

Steve has one on his website as well and has it dated as mid-sixties.

Thank you, Stefan! the markings on Steve's are a lot like mine. I am always awed by his site. Wow

Very cool Max! I've not seen a fedora (much less with a felted edge) from these folks. Not that I've seen that many hats from them in the wild. The ones I've seen out there were all westerns.

Really nice hat. I’m pretty sure I saw that one somewhere some months back. It was definitely the cav edge on an unusual brand that caught my eye. Nice addition to the vault Max
