I could email more pictures, but these should do it. this is a on the bit large size 7 3/8 Vintage Stetson "Buckaroo" hat, has a clean (no issues) felt, same with the liner. The sweatband is clean and not really anything wrong, it had a "kink" in the leather sweatband maybe 30 years ago, but it is soft and supple and nothing wrong with the leather, however I think one or two very short spaces on the sweatband may be able to pull away from the hat, very short could not even photo it but you would not notice it unless you tugged and pulled hard on the sweatband, not really a full "separation" and not even one half inch long.

The hat has ZERO moth bites....no grease spots, I have spent a lot of time using a hat sponge to bring the felt into the nice Ivory Color that it is....and steamed the hat to suit a "fedora" look to it, rather than a wide brim "Montana Cowboy" look to it. The ribbon is typical vintage and not sure but to call it a faded color that once maybe a Tan but now almost Pink. The hat has sort of a reverse taper on the front of the crown where it meets the brim, right at the ribbon, and the brim is dead on 4 inches wide...the crown is a touch more than 6 inches if you "open crown" the hat. This is one nice old different vintage Stetson, that is for it's age, super clean. We have never seen this model of Stetson...and very rare to find one this clean in this Ivory color.

It is a Western felt, you know how they are, stiff brim but the crown is not so stiff, sort of soft and the feel of the felt itself is smooth as you would expect from a Vintage hat this old. I suspect this is from the 1950's, but not any older than that. I will take a picture or two of the leather and the inside of the hat to post here. I find no tag behind the leather sweatband, but there may be something there I have not noticed, the pricetag is not the square shape newer Stetson's are and...this Stetson....says...made in Canada!?! Who knew????

You could do ANYTHING with this hat. Put a pencil edge on the brim, make it a Montana Cowboy, leave it as is, have someone "chop shop" the 4 inches down and convert it to a closer to Fedora Hat brim size....but no matter what, this hat...it is CLEAN as it is going to get and even more so as this hat was worn from it's prior owners but was handled with love and care......(sigh....love it).

I have one more hat to list but...it is going to be tossed in with this hat sale......$170.00 gets this hat shipped tp your door IF you live in the USA...Canadian buyers or anyone else, contact me and see what we can do......thanks....I will add the other pictures later....

Here is best I can come up with for the liner, you can see a spot on the leather where it was Kinked, but it is fine, I spent some time using leather conditioner on the entire sweatband and looking at it, it is not bad at all.

The leather sweatband also has a logo showing the hat as a buckaroo and then also says made in Canada, the gold printing is clear and sharp not worn off at all.....

Do not wait, you can buy this now as we are heading into the Fall season...be ready for winter.....lol!
