Japanese Hat Makers

I got a hat in from a seller in Japan that piqued my interest. It was marketed as a British fedora and I didn't even have any information on actual sizing. What I received is a brand never discussed here before, from what I can tell.
Teibow, founded as Teikoku Seibo Kabushiki Kaisha (Imperial Hat-Makers, Ltd.) started in 1896 producing hats and in the 1950's, using it's knowledge of felt production, switched to pen nibs. https://share.google/QpoLRzR5cJrFbWSVY

This appears to be from their earlier era when hats were their thing.
