Thanks Stefan!
I hadn't heard of him either, and a quick Googling only gave references to this hat on eBay. Made it even more intriguing. I was hoping for clues as to the maker, but it looks like another French mystery hat.
Maurice Pirot.
The brim is2 inches, and the crown 4 1/4 inches as creased. 124g. The felt is top notch, as is the rest of the materials and construction. No indication of who made it, the only markings under the sweat is the small stamp pictured. I am thinking right around 1960 on this one.
I'd contact Goorin's customer service and see if they could check their archives.. Might have some luck there if their customer service reps are good at their jobs.
The black keyhole tag, aka the transitional keyhole tag would put it around '63 or '64, give or take a year.
That, of course, is just a semi educated guess. :)
