Nice hat. In 1955 a Stetson 7X Beaver sold for $50.
Since Davidson's is still there, they celebrated their 100th anniversary this year and still family owned, you might contact them and see if anyone there can give you a time frame when they used that logo.
I don't have the link anymore... There was a "Whippet" up that ended last week. When the seller listed it there was only one photo of the outside and size not clear but probably around 7 1/8. I watched it anyway. Checked again on the last day and photos had been added showing the "Whippet" logo...
My stretcher is marked 7. It is 6 inches wide - same as my head. I use it because I have a 7 3/16 LO head. It is the correct width and is more than long enough extended.
I agree with this conclusion. Stetson also reused the "Eagle" name. They had an "Eagle" in the early 1940s and then again in the early 1960s. The 60s model wasn't a re-issue, they just dredged up an old name and dusted it off for use on a new hat.
Stetson has had so many models over the...
He's only around 50 years off on age. A lot more on price.
Anybody want to buy one of LBJ's Resistol hats? I don't have the paperwork on it but somebody told me he was told somebody said they were told it belonged to LBJ.
One would wear a dark colored straw whenever a dark colored felt hat would be appropriate if it wasn't so d(*&n HOT!
If you don't have a dark colored straw you would wear your dark colored lightweight felt.
A funeral comes to mind. And at night if you don't want to be the sniper's primary...
Actually, demand is only one part of the equation. Prices are lowest where supply exceeds demand and highest where demand exceeds supply. For whatever reason there are a lot of smaller-sized hats available but only a few of the larger sizes. Guys who wear the smaller sizes soon learn they don't...
Oh yeah, size definately matters. 7 and smaller go for bargain basement prices compared to 7 1/2 and bigger. 7 1/8, 7 1/4, 7 3/8 are the "maybe" sizes.
I think the contemporary films are the best for fedoras. You get more of a look at the hats men actually wore and how they wore them.
There are some great scenes in Pickup on Second Street.
A man walks into a woman's apartment, takes his hat off, looks around for a place to put it and...
Some of my western hats can be shaped with cold water, some of them cannot. It depends on how much stiffener/water-proofing stuff is on them.
If you can use the hat as a step stool you're probably gonna need some steam.
Advertising today isn't so much about attempting to create a demand for a product as attempting to create a preference for a brand.
If a man isn't going to buy a hat it really doesn't matter whether he doesn't buy a Stetson or he doesn't buy a Borsalino.
Lacking something like the Urban...
In most cases I'm happy if I can get the "no earlier than" and "no later than" dates within 10 years of each other.
Sometimes the store labels help narrow the date on a particular hat but when I try to extrapolate the Stetson markings I find that some or all of those markings were in use for...
