I received my 1950's Stetson 3X today. Applied a little steam and it is shaping up well. 5" at the crease with 3.5" brim. Embroidered liner.

That is a really sharp hat Scott. Do I see a bit of a pencil roll on the back half of the brim?

I am trying to put a little pencil roll in it. Probably going to take a little more work to get there. Thanks!!

Impressive! The script below the Stetson logo on the sweat is of interest. Have not noticed that type before. Really cool!

Thanks Mike.

One down, two to go. This is the $8.99 cotton linen Stetson stingy brim I scored off eBay. As the seller stated, it's in perfect condition. My first summer hat (ironic that I'm wearing a winter flannel shirt in the photos!).

Echter Borsalino, Point 5, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, probably late 1930s and made for the German market. The felt is medium weight and very pliable. There is a wind cord which is uniquely wrapped (see photo) with contrasting band and binding. There is a separate paper size stamp and the main paper label has "Amiata, C. Nera, Gorasgu". The hat is in mint condition and was sold by Ferdinand, Klan Hof i / B. (Bavaria).

Unique wind cord wrapping.

That's a beautiful hat, Steve. Do you know how the wind cord works?

Wonderful. I love that liner logo. Great colors.

Here's an earlier Optimo I recently received. It has some weight to it. I like the VVVV stitching on the sweatband. I don't believe they use this technique anymore. At least not on the one I bought new a couple years ago.

Von Gal stiff hat, 1910-1915... more photos in the Hawes Von Gal thread.
