Wanted: Stetson Thin-Ribbon "Silver Belly" 7-1/8

[VetPsychWars]

Wanted to buy, a Stetson with a thin ribbon, such as Stratoliner or Open Road, in "silver belly" size 7-1/8. What's important to me is the condition of the hat in general and the color of the felt. Stetson's silver belly ranges in color from a light grey to a significantly pink color; I'm looking for pink. The pinker the better. A higher quality hat will get a higher quality offer from me.

So show me pictures of your pink hats and we'll talk.

Would you want a Open Road Silverbelly made in the 50's in 7 1/4?
Excellent condition.

Since I'm going to wear it, that would be "no".

Edited for my ignorance. My apologies.

Splintz - I think the problem was that the hat is a different size to what Tom wears.

 

[splintercellsz]

LOL! Oops on me. Must have completely skimmed over the initial post. My apologies! Pending on if it is a smaller 7 1/4, and you are a larger 1/8, it could work. Just a thought!

Nope. Dead-on 7-1/8.

[nice hat dude!]

Since that's neither a pink "silver belly" nor a thin ribbon, I'd have to say no.

Something to do with Boy Scout camp?

But I take the OP's point, though. I've seen so many markedly different colors called "silverbelly" that I'm reluctant to use the word myself. Among the body colors I can get from my supplier is one called "silverbelly," but I go to some length to make clear to a would-be customer just what that means in this case.

What is a pink silver belly?

When we visited HatCo's factory in Garland, the Stetson silver belly had a pink hue to it when compared to the Resistol silver belly.
When they run batches of felt bodies, the dye recipe is different per the specs when they acquired the brands....
