This modern Stetson 3X beaver hommie was too inexpensive not to buy =) If the brim were just a quarter-inch wider on either side I would probably not buy another (gray) hat for a long time. Really nice hat, though. As long as I wear it with a fitted jacket and slightly tapered trousers, it balances my outift splendidly:

It's labeled as a Howard and that was a brand of the Freeman Bros company in the early 1900s. The little I have found about them seems to indicate they started in the 1880s and I don't know when the label ended. It's worse for the wear, but a fun hat in any case. It was one of my Halloween finds from last fall.

So awesome...

Those old derbies set my heart a fluttering. Thanks for making my morning with that treasure. [emoji2]
