Just in. I believe this is a German made hat, company name is Windsor. I really love the fairly thin pleated ribbon. The felt is very light and soft. I’m pretty much over the moon. I’ve been obsessed with the cattleman crease... it pretty much turns this hat into a sweet and soft modern Caribou OR... and I think I like it.

Beautiful. In some photos it appears gray and in others blue. I like it no matter what color it is. If it’s German, perhaps @mayserwegener can tell us more?

I know for a fact that he has (or at least had) one exactly like it.... sans cattleman of course... it’s definitely a gorgeous shade of gray.

New Optimo Milan. The ribbon seems brown in the last pic, but it really is black. The color of the straw is pretty accurate.

I have been neglecting my new hats for a while..........
First is a late 60's Cavanaugh with a nice underwelt.

Then we have a Biltmore "Senator" with a Whippet like bound edge....probably 80's

Then I have this private label of Stix, Bauer & Fuller from St Louis........pricetag behind the sweat is $12.50
Late 40's early 50's. Wider top binding with narrow underneath. This was a very, very dirty. Required a complete cleaning and blocking. I really need to re-flange it as well but does not look to bad now. Does anyone know who the jobber was?

Thanks Mark. I worked the seller for over a month before he came down to my price. As you know, it’s hard to find vintage hats in the larger sizes and in particular straw hats.

Your quotation marks here made me laugh. Have you measured it yet to find out how wide the brim really is?

Depending on where you measure the brim it varies from 2 1/2” and 2 5/8”. For what it’s worth I do like the hat.

My 2-1/2" brim turned out to be 2-9/16" to 2-5/8" on the sides and 2-3/4" front and back. It's almost a palm leaf Fed IV. And yeah, I like mine a little more every time I wear it; I just wish I could decide which hat band/pug I like best on it.

The interchangeability of the pugs and band give yours great versatility. I love how easy they are to shape and reshape.

Every time I blink you seem to have added another hat to your collection, Brent. Unstoppable! Nice looking straws you've scored.

I picked up a bowler hat yesterday in a garagesale for 10 euro. Aquila Beste deutsche Marke on the sweatband. The sweat also mention "Stammhaus Guben" (right side) and SHG (left side). Certainly German make therefore and pre-war. Interesting piece and very comfy. But alas what I thought was dirt and dust appeared to be moth damage. So it bears battle scars on the back of the crown and the underside of the brim. For that price who's complaining?
