Friends,
I’m excited to share that Clement & James has acquired a major retailer's collection of more than 1,200 new-old-stock (NOS) Stetson fedoras and Western hats from the estate of a former major hat retailer.
We are still gathering, counting, and inventorying the collection, but it already includes more than 1,200 new, unworn Stetson hats, still in their original Stetson boxes. The inventory comes from a retailer that closed approximately seven to ten years ago and includes a remarkable range of Stetson dress hats, classic fedoras, and Western hats.
There are current and discontinued styles, older production runs, uncommon colors, and difficult-to-find sizes throughout the collection. For anyone who has spent time searching for a particular Stetson model, an earlier production version, or simply a size that is rarely available, there should be some very interesting hats here. On the western side, one example are several El Patron 50x Straw hats that are both rare, and unlikely unavailable new anywhere else in the world.
Once the collection is fully cataloged and placed into circulation, Clement & James will have an unusually broad selection of new-old-stock Stetson hats available from a single specialty hat shop. I believe it will be the largest in America. These hats will be an important addition to our growing selection of premium fedoras, dress hats, and Western hats in Charlotte, North Carolina.
TLDR:
For my friends here at The Fedora Lounge, what makes this collection particularly interesting is that these are not used or previously worn vintage hats. They are genuine new-old-stock Stetsons: original retail inventory that was never sold, never worn, and preserved in its original boxes. That creates the possibility of finding discontinued Stetson fedoras, older Western styles, uncommon colors, and hard-to-find sizes in genuinely new condition.
The Stetson collection will join the premium fedora brands coming to Clement & James, including Borsalino, Fernández y Roche, Christys’ London, and other respected American and European hatmakers.
About US:
Clement & James is opening in Charlotte, North Carolina, as a premium hat shop and custom hatter specializing in fedoras, Western hats, European dress hats, custom hatmaking, hat shaping, cleaning, and restoration. We are building the shop for people who appreciate well-made hats — whether they are collectors, longtime hat wearers, or simply looking for the right hat for the first time.
There is much more to come as we finish receiving, organizing, photographing, and cataloging the collection. I look forward to sharing some of the more unusual pieces with you along the way.
