Thanks Cuz. If you had your eye on it too, then you know I had a little straightening up to do.

Rick may be the only one around here with a greater affinity than me for thin ribbon OR styled hats. When I see them I try to put my hands in my pockets. I just don't need another silverbelly but that doesn't stop me from wanting them.

If you look close at the paper tag, you'll see the color of this one is "sand" [emoji14]

Love 'em!
Mike, thanks. It really is an unusual style, but that's why I had to have it.
It's probably not willing to travel overseas though
John, thanks. Reminds me a bit of some of the German trachten hats. This one feels less costumy though.

Ha! Sounds rhetorical. It’s decided to move back East for awhile.

Stetson 3X probably mid 50s
Silverbelly 2 7/8” brim and about 5 1/2” open crown
Sweatband crest has stars instead of Mapleleaf
$18 store price tag is too high for mid 50s, that’s a little confusing
Embroidered Last Drop liner
3/4” 6 bead sweat with longhorn pun
Manufacturers tags prior to 57

YES.....Westerns sold for more than their fedora counterparts.....they were bigger hats requiring more felt, and often more finish work........I posted picts from my Miller Stockman from 53.......check it out here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...g-and-ephemera-of-the-golden-era.92141/page-3
The model hat referred to is the "Longhorn" and is introduced in the 53 catalog......I have one too.....found in it's original box. I posted it under the the Western anyone thread. GREAT HAT.....I Love mine!!

New Old Sock Stetson Nostalgia I bought off eBay:
The felt feels the same as my current production Premier Royal DeLuxe Stratoliners. It was easy to crease and it fits true to size. I’m quite pleased with the quality for the price.
