I would venture to guess that your Stevens hat is from the mid to late 1960s to early 1970s. I am not an expert on these hats, but there are some here who are.I do not know anything about hats I am hoping someone can help me. I have done some research and I believe its 1960’s part of Stetson. I am looking to find out how old this hat is. It was my husband’s grandfathers and I would love to find out more about this hat for him. Here are pictures I took of the hat. It’s braided and kind of soft.

I've been reshaping the crown on my Northwest fedora and I noticed the felt is spidering or wrinkling a bit. It's not terrible but it is noticeable. I was wondering if that is normal for a custom made hat? Also, the stiffener has a funky smell. Again, it's not terrible but there is a smell, which is something I've ever noticed on any other open crown hat--Stetson or Akubra. Are these things just because the hat is only a few months old?
I used steam and water both.Are you shaping it dry or with steam / water? Dry shaping can do that -- especially on hats with a lot of stiffener.

Is there a difference between nylon and silk?
