Manstyle Hat

[S. Beagles]

Hello, I picked this hat up at a local thrift store and can't find any info on the maker or when it was made. Its a well made hat but also well worn. Some lettering is still visable on the sweat band that says "Made of imported fur" and "cushion comfort" and Manstyle. Has anyone ever heard of this brand on hats before?

Welcome to the Lounge!!

Im not sure who made it but here is a newspaper ad from 1965.
This is a straw hat ad.

Thanks RBH. I was hoping someone would turn up an add or some knowledge of this brand. I haven't found anything even close to the add you posted. I'm wondering if this brand was not widely distributed and exclusive to the southeastern US area because I found a little info on a store in Mobile Alabama that sold these years ago. I notice your add had a North Carolina name on the page. Thanks again for the info.

All references I can see to Manstyle is a store brand of Belk Lindsey covering suits, coats, everything.
