Stetson 100
When this hat was made in the early 1960s, it cost a whopping $100. Theses Stetsons came in custom leather cases and had the best pure beaver fur felt. Truly top of the line.

This fedora is a pure beaver custom hat from the 1950s. The felt is comparable to a 7X clear beaver Stetson of the period. I sold this one back around 2008, and is one of the few I’ve regretted passing on. I’ve only ever seen a couple others by this maker.
