My friend, you humble me.

Your look today was executed immaculately. Bravo :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Obviously you are a gentleman so the clothes are fitting for the personality.
But please do still experiment as that is what brings life and charm to your identity. Remember anyone can be well dressed but very few can be originally stylish. On today's occasion you managed to be both.

Heading into Manhattan for dinner with friends wearing my Sand Beaver Brand velour. My fiancee bought me my first fedora; I don't think she realizes what she started!

That's a super hat. What is it may I ask so that I may seek one?

It is a Mayser (Germany) Spezial (59cm). My guess is mid 1950s. Mayser is still in business today but no longer produce this model. 1950s Mayser Fedoras are rare especially in the larger sizes.

It's a color I would like to have. I could use that in a lot of places. But I imagine EBay won't carry many Maysers. Are there European EBays where they'll have that one do you think?

You will find more vintage Mayser Fedoras on German eBay but they are mostly 60s stingy brims. It is very rare that 50s or earlier wider brim Mayser Fedoras show up. I actually picked this Spezial up on US eBay. If you want to see more vintage Maysers + others you can check out my German - Austrian site.
