Stetson Shades of Green

[jimmy the lid]

In trying to pin down the color of my green Whippet, I came across vintage ads that display four different shades of green on Stetson lids: Willow Green, Bermuda Green, Sage, and Pine Green. Thought it might be interesting to catalog those here:

Willow Green:

Bermuda Green:

Sage:

Pine Green:

I love the fact that these ads offer some guidance for those wondering how a green hat is supposed to work with their wardrobe...

Cheers,

Great ads! :eusa_clap

My Stetson looks like the willow green.

That's a beautiful lid, Feraud! I agree, looks like Willow Green to me.

Cheers,

'30s Bantam. Willow?

 

[Feraud]

The color looks willow to me Dinerman.
I would love to get an example of the sage and pine!

D'man -- that Bantam is one GREAT looking lid! Fantastic.

Marc Chevalier posted this photo of a green Whippet in another thread, and I wonder if this may be an example of Pine Green:

Feraud & Dman,

Both terrific hats! That Willow color is very nice.

It would be nice to compare sage, willow, olive, etc. so we could see a full range of the shades of green used in the day.
