The robust, waxed fabric for this outdoor hat comes from British Millerain, a specialist for outdoor cloth and industrial fabrics founded in 1880 in Greater Manchester, the former textile stronghold of Great Britain. It is permanently impregnated and wind and rain repellent. As the hat can also be crumpled, it is also suitable for suitcases. Mayser manufactures the hat with ventilation eyelets and a leather hatband. The brim is finished with concentric topstitching, which gives it stability and shape while remaining flexible.

When Leonhard Mayser opened his "Hutmacherey" in Ulm in 1800, he could hardly have imagined that Mayser hats would one day become a global brand, with an annual production of 3.5 million pieces in 1963, a record year (unsurpassed to date). Today, the production figures are far lower, but Mayser can still call itself a global brand with sales markets in 44 countries. The secret to the success of the company based in Lindenberg in the Allgäu, the former "Little Paris" of hat fashion, has remained the same for more than two centuries: Quality. While design, purchasing and sales are still based in the Allgäu, production was relocated to Slovakia in 2002. Mayser built its own factory there and also trains its own staff.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
