Show us your Stetson *******s

[Baron Kurtz]

All 7 L. O. too which made it an even better day. The 3 most sought-after Stetsons in the relatively rare long oval configuration. (my head is L. O.)

Here's mine. I think it probably came with a liner but lost it somewhere along the way.

Mine has the single row of stitching around the brim. I think the brim would be far too floppy without it. Brim width is 2-5/8"

It's definitely not gray or tan:

I like wider brimmed hats, but I have a soft spot for this hat. It fits perfectly.

Tony, Yours is a lot like mine and it does'nt have a liner just a printed fabric sticker.It also has a price of $10.00. It only has a 2-1/2" brim.

I think JP identified this as early 1950s in the Bermuda Green model but i'm not sure, myself. Mine seems to be a much duller, more sage green.

Rick Blaine: Please tel me that Optimo put on the correct ribbon width. On something as iconic as a *******, i'd say that's pretty essential. It looks to me like they've put on far too thick a ribbon . . .

It doesn't matter when it was made. Looks good on ya.
I'd like one in Bermuda green as well though.

Cool hats, guys.
Here are some shots of later *******s. Interesting (Terrible?) to see how Stetson took this model in a completely different direction. :eusa_doh:

Oh geez, the ******* II. :eusa_doh:
Where's my *******?

Holy GEEZ, GoneSolo, what kind of a camera are you shooting with??????

That shot of the brim-edge stitching is incredibly crisp and clear!! I can NEVER get my digital to focus that closely. Of course, with a 35MM film camera it would be relatively easy....but for a digital, that's impressive!!

Thanks Jimmy!!

Pilgrim - I have a Canon SD600 digital cam. For really tight shots like that, I switch the Macro setting on, which can capture extremely fine detail.
