I recently acquired a vintage Stetson Sovereign that resembles an Open Road. Has the Cattleman's crease, 2 3/8" bound brim, narrow ribbon with OR style bow, and a wind trolley. The sweatband says "The Sovereign Stetson." There is no "X" designation and no tags inside the sweatband except for a Hatters Union sticker. The felt seems thinner and stiffer than my OR's that appear to be of a similar vintage.
Any information you could give me on Sovereigns would be appreciated, especially about how quality compares to OR of the same era. Yep, I tried the search function, and nope I can't post any pictures.
Thanks.
