This vintage hat was made in the 1950s by the John B. Stetson Company. It is their high end 7X Clear Beaver Quality and has a 3-1/8″ brim. There is no size tag and no reorder tags under the sweatband, but the opening measures 7-3/8″ by 6-1/8″, with a 21-1/2″ circumference.

This is a BIG hat. Tall crown. Wide brim. Likely made in the 1920s, it was sold by Moore’s of Santa Fe New Mexico and is Stetson’s No. 1 Quality, one of their western designations of the time.
A long-haired 1920s italian hat. Not quite a fedora, not quite a homburg, Very wide ribbon with intentionally frayed trailing edge.
This is a great example of a western fedora. It shows lines from where it was once creased as more of a cattleman, but the blocking and flanging are pure fedora. Dating is a bit more difficult for custom hats, but I’d place this one at sometime in the ’50s.
You don’t see derbies with this salt and pepper long nap finish anymore. Beautiful condition, and a very lightweight hat. Made in London England.
Another variation on the Dobbs Cross country model, this time with a self felt ribbon. Still lightweight and unlined, with a raw edged brim.
Sold by Frederick W. Donnelly and son of Trenton, NJ
