Stetson 4X Beaver Quality w/Hargens Box
Really seems unworn. This ain't no Open Road... Box is great too. Seems like a slightly finer finishing than the 3X--maybe a touch of Beaver in the blend. Kind of halfway between the 3X and 7X as one might expect. Felt weight is thicker than the 25 and a little less compacted(25 has almost no... -

Black Stetson Stingy Western + Beaded Band
Wondering what opinions might be of this Combo. This is a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver of early 1960's that has a stingy(for Western)2-3/8" brim. Just acquired the hatband(needs some work and adjustments and backing) which is merely placed on the hat for suggestion. Do you think this was the... -
