Hi all - I'm hoping to have your help identifying a Stetson fedora type hat. Going by the logo, it looks 1960s-ish. It's The Sovereign, size 7. The fur is a little longer than I'm used to seeing on Stetsons. Kind of a chocolate color. Adding photos here. Thank you in advance for your expertise!

While not conclusive, that checkerboard pattern liner is something I associate with 1970s and 80s hats. The black rectangular size tag and that liner…I’m guessing 1970s. That also matches with the style of the hat.
It looks sort of like a velour finish. Different finishes were more common back in the day, but they are still being made today.
As far as identifying the hat, that’s something someone else will have to help you with. It’s not a style seen a lot around here and it’s not from an era that gets much love here (usually deservedly so). Good luck.
