Stetson Excellent "Woodlawn" made by Mayser Ulm under license, 58cm, Triple Stitch Over Welt, probably late 1950s. Notice the crease at the front and top of the crown (second photo). This style hat was popular in Germany in the late 1950s and worn without side dents.

Classy and sporty all at the same time!! This hat is really interesting, do you feel the quality is better than a domestic version Stetson?

I think for the time period Mayser Ulm made a higher quality hat. You can see how well the ribbon work is executed. I can't detect any production faults.

I'm wondering what you can tell me about it, see? I have gleaned that it was made after 1962.

Hmm, I'm suddenly feeling all warm and fuzzy, inside and out.

Does anyone have any info to pass on? Also, it's missing it's ribbon. Any suggestions for what the replacement should look like?

Thanks,
Michael

I just noticed that's a different stretcher Alan . Looks like the Bulgarian Wooden Type . The one I'm used to seeing is the Medal one . Always Fine Hats !

Good eyes... it's an older picture. I have a couple of stretchers. I don't believe the wooden one is brand marked. The metal one is a Garvé. I use the latter more for working on hats - the wooden one for display, mostly.
