Could I trouble you all for some advice on hat age please? My grandfather was born in 1899, and I've had these hats since he passed in 2000. I'm so curious as to what point in his life he acquired these. One says Stetson, and one says Fayrefield. Thank you!

Very cool that you have these hats from your grandfather. Do they fit you?

As to age it is hard to say with full certainty... though the Stetson has elements that might point to Mid/late 1950s into early 1960s. The Fayerfield is a much less common brand, so we don’t have too much to go on…. I was unfamiliar with that name.. a quick search tells me this is an Australian make. Very cool. Again hard to guess age… but could easily fit the above timeframe if not slightly earlier .

Thanks! That'd be crazy if they've survived this long.

Too big for me; I've got quite a small head .
Appreciate your reply!
