    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Hard to describe, more of a doggy type order but not overly. It was more of just that steamed garment smell.

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Question: After receiving my hat I found that it was packed rather poorly, so I thought I would give it a light steam and an adjustment of the brim. I found the felt uncooperative, as in stiff, and hard to manipulate. I also noticed creasing occur on the brim as I adjusted the hat, which took...

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    In Australia Stetsons, that is Temple or a Saxon, fetch for about $235 Au. So the hat displayed at the store seemed quite high.

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Thanks for all the suggestions and contributions made thus far. Although the mystery of the hat has not been solved (yet), I feel I have become more wiser and a little more educated when purchasing hats in general. I guess the take home message is don't place your trust in brands, at least not...

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    The Hat didn't arrive in a Stetson box, but they rarely do. You normally have to pay extra for that about $60 or so in some cases. I couldn't see any other markings on the hat apart from the ones I posted.

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Thanks for the article it was a real interesting find. It makes me wonder, the link you provided was posted in 2010, how far gone has things gotten for old JB. I will say this, I own a Stetson Temple that I purchased in New york recently and the quality of that hat is far more superior to the...

    The hatter stated that carcinogenic's is one such illegal substance but I don't know why you would use that in the making of hats?

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Thank you for the welcome and I appreciate all the advice thus far. When I saw the hat in store the first thing I did is looked at the label and found made in Mexico. Look at an earlier response I posted as to what the seller advised. The hat should be coming today so I will have more photos to...

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    I hear you, I was shocked to learn that was how much they were selling them, but Stetsons have always fetched a high price in Aus, it's why I normally stick with Akubra. When I saw the price tag in store, I instantly decided to recalled my item cancellation from the seller. As for vintage...

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Thanks for the reply, The label i'm referring to is not the paper tag that is attached by cord. It is just behind the label that states 7 1/4 sizing. As I stated earlier, you can't see it from the photo I sent. I m waiting for the hat to arrive before more photos can be made available.

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    I have posted two photos of the hat that was sent to me by the seller. Where it states its made in mexico is on a small white label sewn in behind the size label and another label indicating that it is fur felt. If by vintage you mean is it second hand, no they are selling the hat as new...

    Stetson Royal Fur Felt Fedoras made in Mexico?

    Here are two photos of the hat. The only thing is, the felt appears a little more course in your hand than depicted in the photo.

    Opinions of Baily hats?

    its made of rabbit a beaver blend. very light weight and the felt has a very nice finish. The only thing I dont like is the cloth sweat band ( prefer leather) but I purchased it just under $90, I couldn't resist.
