This very attractive Stetson fedora was made between 1957-1960(ish). It is 3X beaver felt in brown heather mix. This hat appears to have never been worn. While the photos give the impression of a derby hat, the crown is actually soft and needing to be formed. There is some wear around the band...
Late night research is not my friend :( This is indeed what I read and still didn't realize that my conclusions contradicted what I had read. It looks great any number of ways as the urge to shape and reshape has taken over!

Hard to believe anything from 1998 is vintage. What does that make me?
This hat is never worn, brand new condition. Tags are still in the lining. This is a rare find. A current Resistol 6X in this style is $200-$225. With the pristine condition, rarity and National Finals Rodeo connection, I am...
