Stetson Stratoliner
Early 1940s Vita-Felt Stetson Stratoliner.
7X Stetson
A later 7X (non clear beaver) Stetson. Nowhere near as good as the Clear Beaver marked models.
Mallory Fifteen
1950s Mallory Fleetlite. Cost $15 new. Tall, straight sided crown, short brim. Very ’30s proportions, but a ’50s hat.
Canadian Royal Stetson
This Royal Stetson was made and sold in Canada. It has the Canadian style size tag and aquashed markings. The proportions are classic, and the sweatband is (in my opinion) the perfect shade of brown. It dates from the 1950s and I got it at a vintage shop in Kensington Market, Toronto.
Stetson Milan
This Stetson summer milan was sold by Zachry of Atlanta, GA.
Stetson Panama
This Stetson has nice lines, but showed up with a wrecked sweatband. Oh well- that’s not too expensive or a thing to replace.
Pumpkin Mallory
I believe this “Classic Quality” Mallory dates before the Stetson buyout of the company, so that puts it in the 1940s. The sweatband construction is consistent with that dating. The pumpkin colored ribbon on this one makes it special.
Mallory by Stetson
This one was made in Canada. Fur felt, but as you can see, really cheap sweatband that just hasn’t survived well.
Royal DeLuxe Stetson
I got this as deadstock along with a 7-1/2 Whippet. Unfortunately, I sold the Whippet before people the name commanded such high prices. Still did very well on it, but got 7-1/2 Stetson prices, not Whippet prices. I think this really was the more interesting of the two hats, with the unusual thin binding, done in homburg style, and the thin felt band.
