stetson forty

[surely]

hiya, just captured a stetson forty with mode edge. incredibly beautiful thick and soft felt. Does anyone (or 2 or 3) know what era the stetson forty would be?

Please show us photos of your capture. It would help us a lot to determine the age of the hat.

Also, is there a price tag behind the sweat band? Those help quite a bit, too.

Samsa, you're pulling our leg, right? The Stetson 40 was originally sold for $40. Indeed, that's why it was called a "40."

Thanks! I'd say that your fedora is from the early to mid 1950s.

Wow! Nice looking lid!:eusa_clap Very clean looking too, I bet it feels like second nature to wear it too. Nice catch!

Cheers!
