Well, we got stuff done around the house, then out to run errands.... then off to see Hidden Figures (good movie!). I brought out the Royal Stetson. I gave it some steam last night to work on the front snap brim, tighten the front pinch and lengthen those side dents. I doubt this one has been worn much, and with the front brim up when it was. Triple stitch overwelt; my first back-bow lid. MrsFed wore her stingy brim Stetson Royal Deluxe.

I'm very impressed with the felt on this hat, and it is definitely not lacking in crown height. Just a few stains on the hat that seem to be a little stubborn, but other than that I couldn't be more pleased.

Nice hat. I think that is the first Morrison I've seen mentioned here. My first hat of modern times was a Morrison. It has a 2 1/4" overwelt brim. And is currently awaiting a new ribbon. I always thought it was a nice hat and was kind of puzzled that more of them aren't seen around here.

Thanks Michael! I honestly had never heard of them before seeing this hat. However, I am more than impressed with the quality of this hat. Do you have any idea if they were available nationally or was Morrison a regional manufacturer?

Love that back bow Doug! The color is really clean looking, a light tan or grey?

This is a cool find! The lines are just right. Good luck on the little stains. The hat still looks good.

I really had no luck at all finding out about the company. Mine had the same logo on the liner and the same Morrison stamp on the sweat, but it wasn't a Famous 15. There was no store stamp. I wonder if it was a private label hat for a Morrison stores? I think I found only one other example that had sold in that area of time, about 5 years ago. Mine had obviously seen a lot of wear judging by the sun fading, but the felt is still in excellent condition. I really need to get a ribbon and put it back into service. I always enjoyed wearing it.
