Stetson Zenith...Anyone hear of this style?

[Colby Jack]

I've see references to the Stetson Zenith, but no actual info. I was looking at my "Whippet", and it has a tag inside which has "Zenith" on the info tag rather than "whippet"...The liner is not the usual one supplied, but a drawing of three whippet dogs. I'm thinking that the liner was installed at a later time, and than this hat is a 7x Zenith.

Any ideas?...

You're not the first to ask that question, Jack. Check out the last post on this page:

Ephraim
That was the last thread I looked at before I posted...I figured the question just got lost...
So hopefully, someone here will have some info on it.

Maybe Dinerman or Brad Bowers will chime in with some knowledge...

Bump...

I did some digging, and it appears that Stetson never trademarked the name Zenith, so I couldn't help you there. I'm fresh outta info.

Today I received a Stetson fedora that has Zenith written on a tag and a liner that has three dogs and says Whippet. It also has a thin ribbon and marked 7X on the head band. No idea when it was made.
