Possibly but as I mentioned you see English used for marketing purposes so wouldn't read much into it. Also notice the use of English "Superior Quality" so targeting English speakers. This was post WWII so many American military and also English speaking tourists in Bavaria / Munich. Here is...- mayserwegener

Steve, I haven't been able to find any men's hat production info regarding Breiter. I tend think they sourced them.- mayserwegener

Possibly mid to later 1950s. Can you take a photo of the paper label behind the sweatband? It would be located at the rear or the rear sides. You see English marketing names used in this time period in Germany. Also you wouldn't see those sweatband initial pins used in America.- mayserwegener

Thanks! Unfortunately not any company mark. I would recommend 1900 to 1930 American Hatter volumes (available on Google Books). They will have listings of Hat and Straw Hat Companies. Look for companies that might match "M" "H" "Co" or some combination. Also the "DIROGO" mark.- mayserwegener

Boater faction!
This is a real beauty! I am fairly certain the straw braids were not made in the United States. Are there paper labels behind the sweatband? Can you take photos? Also photos of the entire liner plus sweatband. Also marks on the sweatband. I believe the word under the stag is "DIROGO"? The...- mayserwegener
