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?Stetson Excellent "Woodlawn" made by Mayser Ulm under license, 58cm, Triple Stitch Over Welt, probably late 1950s.

Thank you!
Thanks!
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.
The liner is black satin, with a nice supple black sweat, basically a whole lot of Black going on with this hat.
Nice find Red!!!!
Didn't I see you posting this same model as a "Cromwell" a good while back? It came up in a surf/search.
Yes, mine is a "Cromwell". I will see if I can capture pictures of the tags.....
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 !I like your new Churchill, Mike!
Steve, The Mayser Stetson reminds my of this Barbisio - has a 1955 date mark behind the sweatband:
Gustin Vintage Heavyweight Sweatshirt - Natural Rainbow Nep - $119 Rugged 14oz cotton that gets better with every wear. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket. 
That hat is just too cool for words. What a great find.Stetson Excellent "Woodlawn" made by Mayser Ulm under license, 58cm, Triple Stitch Over Welt, probably late 1950s.
