The *** Club line has spanned just about ever style of hat Stetson has made. It’s currently a outdoorsy hat with a more western vibe. There hasn’t been a consistent marketing strategy other than they are all less formal and “sporty.” Back in the good ol’ days, Dobbs had the Rainbow and the Game Bird hats marketed to the sporting (fishing and hunting) man. Stetson had the *** Club. The styles evolved over time and the older hats, as always, are more desirable.
If you find one that you like then it’s worth collecting. All Stetson hats declined in quality over the years, but the newer (1960s and later) hats can be serviceable, and if you understand what you’re getting and what you’re not getting then go for it. I personally don’t like the “mid-vintage” pork pie and similar hats with smaller brims and lower crowns. If you can find an older hats then its quality will be similar to other hats made by Stetson at that time. The *** Club was not a high-end hat at any point of its history so it won’t be up there with the best hats.
I don’t know anyone here who collects hats as an investment. If you like the style and the qualities of the hat then it’s a good hat for you and worth collecting.

Looks cool, doesn't it? Here's another one with the same hairy finish, though it's not a Stetson "*** Club":

Checking out the ugly sky at day break. Tropical Storm Edourdo is moving really slow and dumping rain. The outer bands are just about to hit us here soon. 50 miles south they had 40+ mph wind a 12-14" rain overnight. I fully expect we will be wet soon. Got the chainsaw batteries charged , Generator standing by, and Percolator is loaded up and ready. Still dry here right now so Im thinking about making a quick coffee run. Just in case it gets stormy while out, Ive got an Akubra Banjo Paterson up top.

From a Floridian to a Texan, stay safe and dry. These storms can be a bear (or they can be nothing).

thinking we got real lucky right here.... by the time it dropped from a tropical storm to a tropical depression it took a slight turn to the east and we missed most of storm... nothing but moderate rain here... Didnt really need the Akubra after all
Always better when that happens! The last one we got I figured it'd be just like all the other tropical storms we've gotten... Some rain and moderate wind but nothing all that exciting. This one decided to spawn multiple tornadoes in New Orleans and my family had to shelter in our pantry at 5am. When I returned from the short tour I was on I was shocked at the destruction.
Glad it petered out on ya!
Edit: I realized it wasn't completely clear I was talking about the tropical storm that hit us in June, not the one that just fizzled out.

Nice Stetson GC! I've been looking for one to fit my huge 7-3/4" gob; Lee Marvin wore them in 1957's TV series "M Squad", and always looked cool as heck.
