It's a genuine Stetson made in Norway under license.

Gunerius Pettersen is a well known established department store in Oslo.

Jeffgarf has probably the right Norwegian maker.

If you're thinking of buying it, go for it.

Wouldnt a size 58 be a 7 1/4 ?

In confused why it says 7 1/8

The UK is an eighth of a size below. Perhaps other countries are as well.

This is a 58cm, 7 1/4 US hat, if that's what you thought you bought. The 7 1/8 is the UK size. For example, I'm a 57, but the UK size i wear is a 7, not a 7 1/8 like the US.

Looks like you found a nice (and very interesting for the US) one.

With vintage hats the size listed on the tags can be deceiving. Hats (actually the leather sweatbands) stretch and shrink. If its a bit tight just wear it a couple of time and you may find it stretches back out. If it's a bit loose wear it a couple times sweating into the sweatband. It may very well shrink to fit.
