This is a great hat, but I need to thin the collection.

Royal Stetson, size 7 3/8 long oval - and it hasn't shrunk into a regular oval. 2.5" brim, bound.
The felt is in pristine pliable condition - no stains, mothbites, or any other issues.
The liner has the original owner's name written on it (Austin, TX address), and the Stetson logo has turned greenish and smudged, as they often do. The sweatband is very clean, and in pretty good shape - but could use some treatment, as it's showing a few small cracks here and there. Original size tag.

***UPDATE: this hat is SOLD.

In case you're doubting, there is a lot of life left in that sweatband, and the rest of the hat is immaculate, soft and pliable. And if you're a 7 3/8 long oval, this will be a revelation for you. I have a $500 Optimo that does not fit this well.
Check the prices to have a custom hatter make you this hat - they cannot do it for anywhere near $200.

Also, the color is a true brown, that mid-tone classic 50's Stetson color that goes with just about everything. It's the one in all those Dormont ads. (In case the pics are not showing well)
