Does anyone here at the Fedora Lounge know much about the Stetson Flagship hats?
I hear about Open Roads, Stratoliners, Whippets, Royal, Royal De Luxe, 20s, 25s, etc., but I never hear anything about the Flagships.... ??

Thread economy at work here...

I was searching for info on my Flagship when I noticed you posted this back in 2006. I felt I should respond immediately so you don't have to wait another day disheartened by the lack of responses.

But sorry, I don't know much about them. I bought one yesterday that I was pretty excited about. I guess it's 1940's. I found one posted by Dinerman that has the same Stetson sweatband stamp as mine, but his has an underwelt instead of an overwelt (which mine has), and his ribbon is wide, while mine is Playboy-ish. This is the second old Stetson Royal DeLuxe that I've picked up recently whose size tagging is below it's actual size. I have a '7' that fits like a 7 1/8 long oval, and this is a 7 1/8 that fits like a 7 1/4. I don't get it, but also not complaining.
